April 6-7 Long Days of Volleyball

We got up early Saturday morning. We left the park about 5:30 am. The gates to the park are locked from 10:00 pm till 7:00 am. They have a small parking lot outside the gate for people that need to be out between those hours. Just sheer luck we were very close , about a two minute walk for us. It turned out to be an easy drive to the Georgia World Congress Center in downtown Atlanta. I had purchased my parking spot ahead of time in the Blue Lot for the three day event. I still wanted to get there early as it isn't easy to park my long truck in the little parking spots. It turned out that we were close the first day to the court we were playing on. Our games started at 8 and we finished about 2;30 the first day. We won the first pool we were in. We headed home and got back to our trailer 4:30 pm. Maggie was glad to see us. We were both very tired so we just had left overs for supper . Early to bed for these old folks. We got a pretty good thunderstorm around 2:00 am which woke us up for a little bit . Up early aging Sunday morning and headed out in the rain. Luckily the rain was over when we got downtown. This morning we had a long walk to the courts we were playing on. The Georgia Center is a huge complex and pretty nice. We didn"t play our best today but and ended in a three way tie in our pool. it went to tie breaker rules which can be complex for me. The team we beat got 1st and we had to play a challenge game which we lost 25-23. Tomorrow we don"t play till 11:00. we headed back to the trailer and made it back home about 5:00 pm , both of us tired. This campground is called Victoria Campground (COE Park). Its nice and big . It was spring break here and the park was full when we got here. This evening when Maggie and I took a walk it was pretty empty. They do have some nice waterfront sites. I don't think I would come here again as it is in a urban setting. The park is surrounded by subdivisions. It worked for what we needed here. One more day of volleyball and then we can chill for the rest of our travels.
