On the Road Again!

Yesterday, Monday, was a rather busy day for Ken and I.  We decided to do some work both inside and outside Willie!  It was time for me to do some cleaning, much to my dismay, but it really needed to be done.  So I started scrubbing, dusting, vaccuming, and washing floors.  Even washed the wastecans - I was on a roll.

Ken worked on the basement of Willie and then cleaned the grill, scrubbed the outside chairs, and started packing for our travel day.  Got most things ready for traveling!

I did spend about 2 1/2 hours with our camping neighbors, Steve and Jacquai.  She is a "retired" silversmith, having made beautiful jewelry and teaching classes for a craft guild in New Hampshire.  Such a talented lady.  She was willing to give me some 1 on 1 instruction regarding wire wrapping.  Not her specialty, but many of the techniques she used in making her jewelry could apply my wire wrapping.  She gave me some great tips and helps!  It was lots of fun!

Ken and I did take a short drive for a final view of Crystal River and to get some groceries.  Spent the evening relaxing and playing some cards.  We are also into watching The Voice.  They have some very talented people on that show!

This morning we were on our way to St. Augustine by 9:15, having had a wonderful time in Crystal Lake and the Rock Crusher Canyon CG.  We would highly recommend it to fellow campers.  It was a very uneventful drive, thank heaven, arriving at the KOA CG in St. Augustine around 1:30.  Set-up went very smoothly.  I really think we are getting the knack of setting up and tearing down the 5th wheel.  We are definitely getting so much better at the leveling process and getting into our site.  Yeah Ken!!!!

2 of the couples we met while camping on Pine Island are staying at a CG on 2 miles away.  So, we joined them at their campsite for dinner.  Besty invited us all to have dinner with them.  How nice!
They are staying at the Bryn Mar CG right on the Atlantic.  We planned to eat outside, but it got too cool and so windy.  So the 6 of us had dinner in their motorhome.  Paul and Regina had planned to leave early tomorrow morning, but I am almost certain they will be around for another day or 2.  They just aren't quite ready to head back to Michigan!!

We are so fortunate to have met such wonderful camping friends.  For some reason, that always seems to happen at Pine Island!  There is something very special about that CG.

Looking forward to our stay in St. Augustine!

Walkway from their CG to the Atlantic!

So handy to the beach!

So kind of Betsy and Coy to invite us to dinne at their campsite
with Paul and Regina.  Delicious supper and great fellowship!
