De Funiak Springs FL

Yesterday was an overcast day, temp about 60. Drove into Birmingham (Elyta) and toured the Arlington Antebellum mansion. Antebellum means pre-Civil War era. Was built in 1845 and since then there has only been 4 owners. In 1956 the last family donated the mansion (called Magnolia Groves) to the city. The mansion was very historical with furniture and artifacts of the time and was nicely kept up. Difference between Antebellum mansion and a plantation is that this particular home was not large enough for a plantation - this one being ONLY 95 acres. From there we grocery shopped and at the campsite began the process of closing down and putting things away for the trip today to Florida. About 2am this morning one of the worst storms I have ever experienced came in, and it didn't stop until about 6:30 this morning. Lightning, tremendous thunder, and probably 2 to 3 inches of rain. Forecast was an additional 2 to 3 today, and another 1 to 2 tonight. We beat feet out of there just to avoid getting sunk into the mud.
Ugly putting away the outside this morning, got so drenched and dodged thunderstorms while doing it. Couldn't get the RV out - had streams of water flowing under and around. Ended up backing it out into the street, going down some, then turning around and heading out. Traffic was awful through town and very harry with very heavy rain. We got a rest from the rain by the time we drove to Montgomery which was about 1 1/2 hours south of where we were.
Got here to De Funiak Springs Florida about 4:30 (central), could not get the truck and RV separated for the longest time. Not sure why, but was very frustrating. And we were very tired from being on edge from the morning and driving in the rain. This camp ground, Sunset King Lake Resort, is one hour from Pensacola which is to the west, and to the east - drive 2 hours and we are in Tallahassee. One hour due south and we will run into the Gulf (Panama City Beach). I chose this place because we are going to sit tight for a week. Dave has some things he needs to do on the RV and I have to get this inside clean. Temp when we pulled in was 78. How nice! Even have all the windows open. Will be sightseeing from here - but not until Friday. Tomorrow is laundry, cleaning, etc. And naps.
