On the Beach
We are sitting here, our first night in Florida, looking out at the Atlantic Ocean. It is costing us a pretty penny for the privilige. We are hoping that the temperature will be above freezing tonight. The high of 53 today seemed positively balmy. We spent 2 nights in Georgia State Parks--both close to the beach (it was TOO cold to head to the Okeefenokee). Now we are between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach--on our way to Cape Canaveral and then Orlando.
We have christened the motorhome "Ida". Kit came up with the name and I liked it. If you look at the name in print it's a lot like our shape. I'da rather had a bigger rig but Ida makes my husband happy. I haven't driven but it seems to be a breeze to drive. We are continually making wrong turns--and stopping to shop. We had to try 4 gas stations today before we could get diesel. Diesel runs between $2.30 and $2.50 here. There always seems to be more stuff that we need. Kit got jogging shoes and jeans today.
