Wednesday, January 22nd


Life is Good!  Today was a great simple day.  We left Clearwater, Florida, and decided we really needed souvenirs-you know, magnets!!  Because this place was one of Garrett’s favorite due to the fishing outing.  Well after the 4th stop we were successful.......YES, we went to 4 different places looking for a MAGNET!  At least, 2 of them were in the same parking lot!  Lol.  Just for the record, for the 4th and final stop, we even backtracked a few miles.  All with the 5th wheel remember!  So finally we started driving for real and it seems in Florida, that you can drive for hours and go 10 miles!  There are so many stoplights.  It’s continuous town after town after town.  At one point, I asked Jeff if we’d ever gotten up to 50 mph yet?!!  He said no!

We stopped for lunch at Taco Bell, quick and cheap--------boy do I miss Los Amigos at home!!!  Guess I should have put that in the blog yesterday.  We walked to a fruit stand and got some Florida oranges and grapefruit.  They had samples, YUM!  At this point we finally had decided where our destination of the night would try to be.  St. George Island State Park in the panhandle.  We arrived with 30 minutes to spare before their office closed.  It was a nice campground with beaches all around with super white sand.  Too bad it was 50 some degrees!  We finished the night with Garrett playing the guitar around the campfire.  It was a perfect day on our big trip!       **Sara
