We all forgot that today was St. Patrick’s Day. I blame all of my friends on Facebook. No one had any green status updates in the morning! But in all fairness they were all still sleeping soundly while we were getting dressed for a mini travel day. Ummm, I did make a green blanket fort for Ava in the morning. That should could for something, right?
This morning we were greeted with these geese at our door step. I don’t really know what kind of geese they are but they sure were friendly.
I am seriously trying to keep our laundry down to a minimum. I was doing so well… until Mila started eating solids… and Ava insisted on feeding her. Hey Airstream, do you have a washer and dryer option?
Our first few days in Florida have been a slew of one night stays with short jaunts to the next spot in the afternoon. We have gotten use to spending the whole day and all night driving and logging in the neighborhood of 200 – 400 miles during travel days. We have slowed down significantly since we got to Florida to about 50-75 miles a day and for good reasons – so we can see clear skies and fluffy clouds like this one.
We have fabulous timing. Not only are we in Florida during the most popular time of the year (Spring Break!), but we are also in the most popular Spring Break destination in the state. Lucky us. Because the park was booked for the weekend, we had to pack up after only one night at St. Andrews State Park.
Our first night in Florida was spent in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Navarre, FL. We had to back track about 15 miles since the first one we went to in the middle of the night did not allow overnight parking. No big deal. We expected to spend a lot of time here in Florida and Navarre is as good of a place to start as any.
Today was a travel day. And not just any travel day. Today we are going to be in four different states. Louisiana –> Mississippi –> Alabama –> Florida.
