Quiet Monday

Today was a down day, doing nothing in particular. Did some cleaning, went to the grocery store, did reading, even took a nap. Some days you just have to do this to rejuvenate. Made a great dinner and now we are sitting just kibbitzing about tomorrow and where we are headed Wednesday. Will be doing laundry tomorrow, and hopefully it will be warmer where we can sit out and watch the world go by. Then pack up to leave Wednesday morning. Temp today was supposed to be 70 but our thermometer only read 59. Brrr. And sunny. Can't complain that way.

Lots of RVs have left and lots more came in to this campground. Fun to watch them come in and set up. We leave Wednesday morning for Old Town, Florida which is on the Suwannee River that empties into the Gulf. It's about a 4 hour drive from here, we found that driving anywhere 5 or more hours is just too much. It's located below Tallahassee but north of Orlando. On the Gulf coast. Made reservations for Friday morning 10am to 3pm to do kayaking on the Suwannee River with the Park Rangers as our tour guide. They rent us the kayaks and we depart from Manatee Springs State Park and head towards the Gulf. Wildlife, birding, manatees, fauna, this is what they guarantee we will see. Don't know yet how long we will stay at this next campgroup, probably until Monday? Then head to Lake Okeechobee where we will be not far from family in Delray Beach on the Atlantic, and near friends who have their boat in Fort Myers. This will be the farthest south we'll go as far as taking the RV - we will do day trips south to the Everglades, but not go to the Keys since we have been there 3 times in the last 3 years. We can always go back there when we visit with family (drive down).

So much to do yet. After Florida we need to get to Georgia to do some camping on the coast, then on to the Carolinas, Virginia, up to Maryland (to go sailing with friends) and then on to PA and home.
