Buh Bye

This may be my shortest post because honestly, we have seen everything in Massachusetts worth seeing and we didn't want to drive out to the Cape and sit in traffic for hours. So we decided to mark this state off by sleeping in a Service Station right off the interstate when we found they didn't have much for campgrounds, boondockers welcome, or harvest host sites, anywhere around. 
We had a 4.5 hour drive to get there and while driving through Boston we had a huge thunder storm to drive in along with all the traffic so when pulling into the Newton Service Plaza at mile Marker 22 just outside of Boston it was a nice break being off the road.
We pulled in around 4:30 and went around back as this was a smaller service station so the parking was limited. We found a great spot that had no parking in front or behind it and big enough to fit our truck and camper. This was also our first time sleeping in the camper where we couldn't put the slide out so we couldn't pull the murphy bed down. We had to sleep on the dinette table but thankfully we had that option and still had access to the bathroom, kitchen, and shower.

We went into to see what they had in the station. There was a convenience store, McDonalds, Honey Dew Donuts, restrooms, and a sitting area. We went back out and sat in the camper to enjoy a glass of wine. It is much smaller space when the slide isn't out and what do I do? I spill my full glass of wine all over Chris, the table, chairs and floor. I jumped to get it cleaned up as Chris is working on getting himself cleaned. He finishes the bottle because obviously I didn't deserve wine if I was just going to spill it 😝. 
For dinner we figured it was just easiest to get McDonalds so we went in ordered and took it back to eat in the camper. After eating, we decided to play a game so we pulled out Scrabble. I was surprised that I actually beat Chris, only by 10 points but I won!!! Since it was still too early for bed so we made the table into our bed, put comfy close on and set up the I-Pad to watch a movie. I made it probably 30 minutes before I was out. Chris shut off the movie around 10 and off to sleep he went. 
We are both sound asleep when all of a sudden we have someone banging on the side of our camper right next to our head. I instantly scream and yell "STOP". Chris yells out, "what do you want?" Strangely it was quiet for about a minute then a women says, "is anyone in there?" Um I just yelled so loud I probably woke the truckers so obviously someone is in here. Chris asks, "what do you need?" She says, "we have a delivery coming in and need you to move." Chris say, "one minute, I'll be right out". All I can think is this is a set up and they are going to rob and kill us. I tell Chris, "this is how they do it, please be careful." He goes out and there is nobody to be found. I get dressed and I go into the service station to see if any of the McDonald's workers may have knocked on our camper. I can't get anyone so I walk out to the drive thru window. A girl finally comes and I ask if they needed us to move our camper? She comes out and says she does or the truck won't deliver because it has nowhere to park. I tell her this doesn't show to be a no parking spot so they may want to have a sign so not to wake people in the night. I also can't believe we got there at 5:30 and they wait until 11pm to request this move of us 😡🤬.
Our next problem is I am not sure where to move it because all the truckers have used up the spots. She tells us to move next to the natural gas pumps as they don't work anymore. We move over there, close and lock the door and I try to fall back to sleep. Even though my heart is still in an arrhythmia. 
We make it through the remainder of the night with no more crazy interruptions. In the morning we shower, make some french press coffee and get ready to head out of this state and onto our next stop.
