We got up at a reasonable time and headed out. We passed slowly down US-17 through rural Georgia until we passed Brunswick, then used I-95 to the Jacksonville area. Entered the base with no problems and set up in the base RV Park "Pelican Roost".
Then we headed over to Bill & Lana's house and did laundry. They came home after five. We went out for Italian with them - good food, placed named "Fontana" for the big fountain inside. Then a grocery stop and back to the house.
Lana's birth mother (she was adopted) and husband came in from Atlanta a little later. We sat around talking and having a drink or two.
Dolores & I headed out about 10:30 and came home to settle in for the night.

Up and back to Bill & Lana's house. We were then in and out all day, getting stuff and making things for the baby shower party. My chore was to make two dozen deviled eggs, as well as to haul things from one place to another, swab out the patio, wipe off the patio chairs, and so forth.
I was the designated mule.
The guests started arriving at 7:00 and things got quite active after that. Vic cooked the sliders and rollers. Everyone enjoyed the food (especially the custom cupcakes). The deviled eggs disappeared. A couple of cases of Lite were done in.
Then the unwrapping of gifts took place. Lana (and Bill) received many nice things that will help tend the child when he shows up.
One of Bill's co-workers wife is due two days before Lana, so they were comparing sizes. Both were in black-and-white dresses.
After a while, perhaps 10:00, people left and we were left alone. D & I left a little after that, and after the initial cleanup. We'll finish it tomorrow.
Back to the trailer and a good night's sleep.

Slow day today. We got up a little late and went directly to B&L's house. Donna had fixed quiches, so we had some of that, and other party leftovers. Deviled egg (turns out the vultures didn't get them all) for breakfast is a little odd, but ok.
Vic & Donna departed for Atlanta, leaving only the four of us. Three of us loafed while I installed the third ceiling fan into bedroom 3; I'd done the other two earlier this year. It went in without too many complications.
Then all four of us loafed until time to go to church. We took their convertible with the top down - haven't done that in a while. Did church, then a light dinner at Beachside Cafe.
Then back to the house to pick up stuff we'd left there. We called Susan, who couldn't talk at length (cleaning the refrigerator) but said hi. Afterward, we said our goodbyes until next month and left.
Back to the trailer and to do these little chores. Then we'll prep for tomorrow's trip home.
Then to bed.
