Hi,
Well here we are on the road again. Took us a couple extra days as we had to have some work done on our motor home and it took a little more time than we thought. We spent 3 nights in 2 different motels in New Smyrna Beach but bright and early (early for us that is) Saturday morning we were traveling. We traveled west through some of the state road in Florida and saw some pretty horse country and lots and lots of trees. Only one alligator and that was right around New Smyrna Beach but quite a few signs for crossing bears. Seems Florida has their fair share of bears but we didn't see any of them either. The Ocala area has some of the most beautiful horse farms I have ever seen. We spent Saturday night in Panacea, FL in a small RV camp on the Apalachee Bay. We had dinner in a nice restaurant on the bay and enjoyed the view and the birds but not the no see ums that were biting us!!!
Sunday we packed up and headed for Tyndall AFB Fam Camp. We lazed around Sunday afternoon and met a couple heading east. We visited with them for quite a while and then realized that we needed to make our Easter dinner. Finally sat down to eat around 8. We had a small ham so we were in the spirit.
Monday we decided to see what Panama City was like. We started at the historical area of Panama City and walked around a huge antique store then went for lunch at a San Francisco style deli. Lovely lunch but all this eating out isn't helping my WW. I am working on a way to do better with that but that's a blog for another day. After lunch we tool the scenic route to Panama City Beach which is a few miles west of the city. That was crazy. It is still Spring Break and the streets were jammed with kids. Not sure what the ages were as they all look to young to us. We came back in late afternoon and lazed around outside for a while and then had dinner. Quiet evening for both of us. Today was let's check out the beach on base and then hit the Commissary and Exchange. The beach is quite lovely but it is a good mile walk on a boardwalk out to the beach and then it must be 1/4 mile of beach to hit the water. Pictures will be posted hopefully soon. Jack needs to get to work on that. We went to the commisary and exchange and just picked up a couple of things to get us through the weekend. I am trying to cook as much as possible. Came back and relaxed until dinner then just vegged in front of the TV.
We will be leaving on Wednesday, April 8th and going to Gulfport MS. We have reservations in Gulfport until Tuesday April 14th. We figure we can visit Mobile, Gulfport, Biloxi and New Orleans from this RV park so stay tuned.
Well, goodnight all and I will be back!!!!
