May 18 - St Petersburg Florida


Lazy morning, we are not moving too quickly. Humidity seems pretty high today.

Saw a gator in the stream at the campsite. We had stayed here before and have kayaked down the stream before so knew they were there...just didn't think they were that close.

Went to the St Petersburg Pier today. Had been to the area before but the Pier was only completed in 2020 so this was new to us.

Had a short spell of rain which didn't last long...but still 33 degrees....so the humidity seemed even higher.



I am obsessed with this thing!!! It's an artists aerial sculpture in the sky. It moves in the wind ....it's called the "Bending Arc"...1,662,528 knots....and 180 miles of twine...




How cool is this...sunscreen!!! They also have water fountains and water bottle refill stations everywhere... 



Left the waterfront for a quick stroll downtown.. There were dog drinking bowls in front of almost every single store..Lu was pretty impressed!


In 2013 we had enjoyed the largest beer ever in this bar area during a very strong but short rain shower! It's an entire block of little bars.



Enjoyed a late lunch on the waterfront at another dog friendly place😄

Cheers!

Left South Dakota this morning, through a part of Wyoming and into Montana. The scenery in this area is really gorgeous.  But before long the weather changed...storms up ahead and apparently through the night in Bozeman. Free night at the Walmart with about another 30  or so RV/camper vans......hoping for a quiet night...cold here tonight....used the furnace for the first time in a very long time on this trip...brrrr

Long time coming....

 It's been a very very long 2 years waiting...patiently waiting.....for things to return to normal... We were set to embark on this same holiday in March 2020 when Covid changed everything for everyone. Now 2 years later, our travel furbaby has changed. We lost our beloved Gracie before we could enjoy another big trip with her.  She was an amazing traveller and we were so fortunate to have been able to make many memories with her over the 14 years of RV adventures! We loved every minute of it and miss her dearly. And then along came Lucy Lu. Oh the adventures she will have!

June 10 - Lazy day

Image
Today was a lazy day. As no cell service and wifi at the campground, I needed some down time to book some stuff. Found a great dog park and Lu made a new little friend... Like little....8 week old little pitti.... They had a great time and then back into town. Just like most towns outside of a National Park...there's a bear thing going on. We didn't stay long....little walking...late lunch and back to the trailer. George hitting the enormous candy store....$22.00 later.....omg Second night of firefly watching was even better than the first. We saw some Blue Ghost fireflies....the males stay lit for up to a minute and glow a soft blue colour...there are not many in this area as they are mostly in the Asheville forests so I was super excited to see them. On our way back I had a firefly on my hand for the longest time....he just kept walking and blinking and walking....💗 I never like to say that I won't see them again here in th...
