The Wandering Beaver: Bombing Down to Florida (aka It's Really Cold Out You Guys)

So, don't get me wrong - spending our first holiday on the road with family was wonderful. But you know what Maryland is in November?

Cold. It's cold.

And I didn't decide to travel so that I could be cold. That, I can get back at home :)

So after the Thanksgiving shenanigans were completed? We bombed straight down to Florida. It is, after all, the sunshine state.

This meant some quick traveling. Our first stop was at Picture Lake Campgrounds, which was about 211 miles over to Petersburg, VA. We honestly didn't do a thing, I don't even have a single picture from the days we were there - November 30th to December 2nd.

Our next stop was actually planned for another place, but we saw South of the Border from the highway and decided to pull over. It was 243 miles over to Hamer, SC and I think we were just done. We only stayed a single night, but as far as quick stops go, it wasn't bad. Fake donkeys to sit on? Yes, please!

The next day we went another 220 miles down to Savannah, GA. We stayed just the one night at the Biltmore RV. The office is actually a cute little antique/tchotchke shop and the ladies there were super sweet. The spot itself was an overflow one - in a grass field with only a chain link fence separating us from a busy road - eek! But we got another sticker for the map, so I was happy!

FIFTEEN!

On day five after leaving Maryland we made it to Florida, and it felt soooo good. From Georgia it was 211 miles down to Ormond Beach where we stayed at Sunshine Holiday Daytona for a full week- December 4th through the 11th.

There's just something to be said for swimming at 10:30 in the morning - in the outdoor pool - in DECEMBER!

It's a hard life

I do have to say though, this is not a place for the more OCD of us. This is a shot of the RV - parked perfectly straight in the spot. Totally lined up with all of the hookups.

And the concrete patio? So very not straight.
