Exploring southward
6 декабря 2016 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F
The scenery south of our campground was gorgeous in the sun.
We tried driving out to some dunes but gave up as the post-torrent lakes were scaresome and our 4-wheel drive untested.
Exploring the campground

It's not JUST a campground. It's an RV RESORT! We decided to explore on our way to get ice.

Bonnie BenedictSounds like you're heading away from NOLA, but there's a nice drive that goes right by the lake. And there is, in a neighborhood relatively close, one of my friends (who is from NOLA's) fave places for poboys....Mr. Eds

We are a but disappointed in the Emerald Beach RV Park, despite the good sunset. We'll make a final push tomorrow to St Augustine which promises to be both interesting and warm.
Bonnie BenedictDidn't care for St Augustine myself. Will be interested in what your opinion is.
Someone to watch over me ...

Ted's Montana Grill outside of Tallahassee. Already it's MUCH warmer.
Rosemary EngleOh my Florida.... Are you going to rest a bit there? You have been tearing through the south with nary a bit of respite. All great photos by the way - I am enjoying your journey very much.
ПутешественникDid you think we wouldn't make it? We were on a mission to find warmer weather. And we HAVE! We are happy. Sorry about your snow. And rain. And gloom. I am enjoying palm trees and hibiscus decorated for Christmas.
ПутешественникThe most lights were on non-palms, but they are fun anyway. See next post.

It was a long drive, and it's on the pricey side, but it was worth it. About 80 miles ago the temperature got into the 70s. At dusk it's still 74. And ONE of us is wearing SANDALS WITHOUT socks.
Honest! We're changing the oil

This French bakery is right next door to the lube shop. And the car will be a half hour. And we're hungry (having done laundry including sheets which are big and require WRANGLING.)
Interesting fact.Читать далее
Rosemary EngleWell, while I was checking out yesterday's entry, all of a sudden today's photos appeared! ....Of all that special bakery and restaurant goodness. Now that is what I call a great meal - quiche and salad.
ПутешественникYeah and don't forget the peach Danish to die for. It was a package deal. We were FORCED to get it!
Sandals AND short pants!
