It's A Small World After All.....

Today we had an easy drive to get to the FMCA 94th Family Reunion in West Springfield, MA. fmca.com The only bad part was breaking camp in the rain. Andy had the worst part of it as he had to empty our holding tanks before we left.

Once here, we discovered wet fields in our parking area. We were told they weren't parking anyone until it dried out some. Turns out we only had to wait a little more than an hour to get parked. Once we were settled, Andy took our bikes off the rack and discovered that mine had a flat tire. We found a bike shop and left it there to get repaired.

After a few hours, they called to say it was done. We went outside to get in the car to retrieve it. Motorhomes were still coming in and one stopped in front of our coach. The driver saw our MN license plates and asked where we were from in MN. Turns out he is from Burnsville, MN (another suburb in the Twin Cities). Andy walks up, looks at him, and at the same time each one said each other's name. Andy-Peter! Peter is Andy's cousin! Now in order for this to happen, the planets had to align. 1) We were outside our coach at the time they were stopped in line in front of our coach. 2) They were in line in our row because someone had told them that was where they were parking, but it wasn't their final spot.3.) Peter struck up a conversation with me since he noticed our MN license plates. We could have gone this whole week without seeing them or seeing them and thinking that Peter looked familiar. What a pleasant surprise to see Peter and meet his wife Susan. It just goes to show you that you never know who you will run into!
