Spring Break

We were going to wait until Monday to go into Panama City Beach to do some sight seeing, but found out that the "Museum of the Man in the Sea" was closed on Mondays. And then we tossed around adding another day to our stay here in DeFuniak Springs just to give us one more day of down time if we opted to go to PCB on Tuesday, leaving on Thursday. Instead, we hiked down to PCB today and got right in the middle of college spring break. Ugh. Too many kids, awful traffic, and no one was allowed to go into the Gulf due to heavy seas and riptides. So all the kids were walking along the roadways which made driving pretty hazardous. By 1pm many of the kids were getting blatto - and rambunctios - so we got out of that Dodge quickly.

We did go to the museum, was not what I thought it was going to be, interesting never the less. Got back to the RV by 3:30pm and chilled the rest of the day. Talked over what our options were since we will be in the middle of spring break for the next 2 weeks - and decided not to take the RV down to the Keys. Just too much traffic and college students plus families that are on school's spring break - pulling 15,000 pounds behind us - not fun. This evening I am beginning our new search as to where we will go next. Our thoughts are to hug the Gulf coast down, probably ending somewhere near Bushnell or Brooksville. Not sure - will have to do some calling tomorrow to see if we can get into either one. Would prefer the Bushnell - called Sumter Oaks - which is an Escapee RV owners place. We were very impressed with the Heiskell TN - Raccoon Valley - and it's only $15 a night.

Monday and Tuesday we will just hang here, by Tuesday doing laundry one more time before departing on Wednesday for somewhere? Weather is fine, could be a little warmer - was 68 today but windy. Had to where jacket regardless because of the wind. We are receiving our mail that was forwarded on, so that's not a problem. At least it's sunny and we are healthy.
