For the past three days I have been at my favorite KOA in Fillmore relaxing! I needed a little getaway and I couldn't think of anything better than sitting on the front porch of a cabin and reading all day. I really like this KOA because it is in the middle of nowhere so it is very quiet and peaceful and it is close enough that it doesn't require a lot of travel time (it is about two hours south of where I live) but far enough away to feel like a real getaway. I have been coming here for years (by myself and with various members of my family) and the former owners knew me by name. There are new owners now but they are very kind and welcoming and I had to laugh when they offered to show me the way to my cabin because I've stayed in this exact one several times (as well as others). I didn't take any day trips this time because I just wanted to relax but there are quite a few things to do within driving distance. The weather was a bit too cold to stay outside for long periods (it even snowed on Sunday) so I spent most of the day inside the cabin reading under a blanket (the cabin has a heater) which was wonderful. I spent the evening watching movies on my laptop before falling asleep to the sound of rain hitting the roof. It was perfect! My sisters and I are caring for our Mom full-time now and I really appreciate the fact that they were willing to pick up the slack so I could have a weekend away! It was exactly what I needed!
