May 6 - New Orleans to Pensacola Florida!

We got a much needed free truck and trailer wash leaving New Orleans....lovebugs are all off the trailer and truck now!!
We timed that pretty well by getting out of New Orleans just as the weather was turning.

Another thing we did see that was pretty cool was this storm-flood wall. The walls are 23 feet high and were built in the Harvey parish area that we were staying in as it's prone to flooding from storm surges from the frequent hurricanes. Pretty impressive.


George finally got his breakfast at Waffle House! Pretty darn good but the entertaining part was that the kitchen area is right in the main dining area so you get to see everything going on! The girls worked their butts off in there!

Feet finally hit some nice sand outside of Biloxi Mississippi, Lu was a little unsure of it!
It's quite interesting to re-see some of these areas that we saw in 2013 and 2018 and see the slow rebuilding after Katrina in 2005 and any subsequent storms.

 There are still so many vacant lots where homes were destroyed but now all the new places you see built are all like this.  
About 6 hours driving today with many stops along the way.
Finally crossed the border into Florida exactly 2 minutes short of  14 days since I clocked out at work! 4:16 pm....made it to our beloved Florida.

Staying at Fort Pickens National Park for 3 nights!


Cheers from Florida 💗

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....

Image
 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...
