Ah-h-h-h Palm Trees!

Well we made it to Florida.  We are spending tonight in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Lake City Florida.  We spoke with a manger and got his permission.  It's pretty nice here.  Lots of trees and stuff.  Almost makes you feel like you are really camping.  We were tired of eating at the Denny's restaurants at the Flying J's.  They have a limited menu and everything is fried in some way, shape or form.  So this is working out very well. 
I promised a photo of flowers.  Here it is. 
I made sure I got the snow in there too!
I also got a photo of the commander.
He made me do it!!! He is the commander of a very dirty rig.  I am embarassed to have anyone see us climb in.  My car is just a disaster.  I don't think you can really see just how dirty it is by the picture.  The back of the car is almost black!  The motorhome isn't much better.  We were hoping for rain that never came.


A lot of firsts today.
First time we looked out the window and NO SNOW!
First time we saw people on motorcycles.
First time we opened the window while driving.  Ah fresh air.
First time we saw trees with leaves on them.
First time I was able to take Max for a walk and NO COAT!

It's pretty warm here tonight.   Don't think we will need the furnace.

Here's a video of the Florida Welcome Center.
Oh, and one more first -
Ah-h-h-h-h Palm Trees!

  1. I am SO GLAD you found palm trees!!!!!

    I remember each time we went to Florida, where the first time was that we opened a window and smelt the fresh air and sunshine. It makes a huge impression when you were just in snow and ice and cold three days ago eh?

    LOVE the shot of the Commander at his post. He looks very serious and intense. Just gotta go go goooooo!

    Oh Steveio adapted our outside shower hose unit to a garden hose fixture instead with a sprayer head. We can bucket wash the rig and the toad quickly and then spray to rinse from our holding tank for a meager bath if needed.
