It's Cold!

I am wearing corduroy slacks, a long sleeve top, and a fleece jacket...we must be close to home.

Yesterday we camped in another very nice state park...Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina. This park afforded us two more pleasant beach walks, although it was too chilly to go barefoot.

Last evening we had cocktails with a couple who has the same motorhome as we. They are also recently retired, and are just starting their trip to Florida. Bill and Dave shared tips and experiences with the motorhomes, and Diane and I talked about QUILTING! Yes, she's a quilter and even had her sewing machine with her!

Today has been spent getting to I95 and then traveling up 95. I guess the whole trip can't be as fun as the last 37 days:)

What a wonderful trip we have had! Bill and I realize how fortunate we are to have each other, to have good health, and, oh, yes, to have a pension, so we can continue to live life fully in our retirement. We are truly blessed!

One Fine Day

As soon as I walked into The Georgia Pig and smelled the meat cooking in the open pit, I knew we were going to have a delicious lunch. And, boy, did we! We bought a pound of the pork barbeque and a pint of cole slaw. Luckily, there is enough left over for tonight's dinner.



This afternoon we arrived at Hunting Island State Park on the coast of South Carolina. Yeah! Another beach! And it was warm enough to take a nice long walk in the surf of the Atlantic Ocean. I found my first sharks' teeth here, which was very exciting:)



This campground was quite a find. I can look out our front window and see the ocean, and we can hear the waves, which will make for some sound sleeping tonight!

Homeward Bound

Today is Day 35 of our trip...5 weeks, and still loving it! But, alas, it's time to leave Florida and make our way back home.

Two days ago we returned to the east coast of Florida after taking some walks in Juniper Springs Recreation Area (in Ocala National Forest) and Ponce de Leon Springs State Park. Bill took dips in the always 68 degree temperatures of the clear waters of both springs. By the size of the parking lots, these must be very popular destinations on weekends and in warmer weather. We are very happy to have these places to ourselves in January and February.

Tuesday night we parked the motorhome in the driveway of our friend Bob's house in St. Augustine. Bob and his wife still live in Maryland so the house is unfurnished, but I used their electric to dry my hair. I'm sure tongues were wagging about why an RV from Maryland was "camping" in their neighborhood!

The drive up Highway A1A along the Atlantic coast was beautiful. Last night we stayed in Fort Clinch State Park, and again had the pleasure of walking along a beach. I love beachcombing for shells, and found some more to add to my collection.

Lunch today will be barbecue at the Georgia Pig, a favorite spot of Bill's, then onto Beaufort, South Carolina. Hope it's still warm there!
