Day 78: Little Talbot Island State Park.

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

We spent our second night in a row boondocking in a parking lot. This time at a Walmart in Jacksonville, Florida. We intended to find a truck stop, preferably a Flying J, but they are harder to come by when you are near a big city. And a big city Jacksonville is. In fact it is the largest city in the continental United States in terms of the geographical coverage at over 874 square-miles.

Day 77: St. Augustine and our last night in Florida.

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Our night in the parking lot of the Flying J just outside of St. Augustine was great. We had obviously no hook ups of any kind but we felt safe and had a great connection with our Sprint Air Card which allowed us to get a bunch of work done. Thinking back, I don’t think we have boondocked in a parking lot since the night before our visit to Sanibel Island at a Walmart in Fort Myers. That was a month and a half ago.

Day 76: Downtown Disney and on to St. Augustine.

Thursday, May 6th, 2010

After 4 nights at Fort Wilderness, today is finally the day for us to head out. Even though we are sad to leave the happiest place on earth, especially true for Ava, we are looking forward to head out for some more adventures. After all, we have had the last 20 or so days completely planned out. That is the complete opposite of how the rest of our trip has been and we are looking forward to having a little bit of uncertainly in our explorations.

Day 75: Mickey’s Backyard BBQ.

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

Today was our last full day at our Disney campground, Fort Wilderness. So we did what we always do on our last day at a site. Live it up. Pool, water slides and plans for a little bbq at our campsite. On a whim, I went to talk to the folks at Fort Wilderness about the sold-out Mickey’s Backyard BBQ. And low and behold, they had a few walk-up tickets left. Ava’s lucky day! And you know what else? It was all you can eat and DRINK. Our lucky day!!

Day 74: Round 2 at the Magic Kingdom.

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

Our trip to Disney World includes two days at any one of the parks and of course, we chose Disneyland The Magic Kingdom. Trying to get through any one park at Disney World in one day is a lot of work. You have to be really dedicated and not to mention in top physical fitness conditions. So for us trailer trash with no gym memberships, we made it a two-day visit.

Day 73: The Magic Kingdom.

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

If you can’t tell by the smile on Ava’s face, today was THE day. The day we go to the Magic Kingdom! We woke and bright and early and headed to the dock. Not only does our Disney campground offer free buses all around Disney World, it also has boats too. In case you didn’t know, Florida is full of water. Don’t tell anyone, but I think Florida is slowly sinking into the ocean. Shhhh. And everyone thinks California will eventually end up under water! Sorry Arizona.

Day 72: Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground.

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

We woke up this morning at the Orlando Walmart parking lot ready to spend the week at Disney World. For almost the last two weeks, we have been telling Ava that we are going to Disney World. Something I do not recommend. Ever since we told her about it, she has been asking for it every day. “Can we go to Disneyland?” “I want to go to Disneyland now.” “When are we going to Disneyland?”

“Today. We will go today. And by the way, this is Disney World.”
