So we are almost ready to roll…..off like a herd of turtles

April 2

As we started our Adventure we were pleasantly reminded that spring can be rather unpredictable.

Great Falls, MT brrrrr

April 5

We have now done 5 states in 5 days and are in Amarillo, Texas – at this rate we’ll be home in 45 days J

April 7-9

The weather is 82+ and we are already finding it a little warm. We spent the day power-touring San Antonio, saw all the sights and survived the bus ride. San Antonio (it’s much prettier than our pictures show)

April 11

Just a quick stay in Louisiana, we visited an antebellum plantation “Nottoway”. This is a classic southern plantation that has been well preserved through the years. Louisiana

Florida

April 13-14

We have started our Florida visit in Panama City Beach. Spring break was winding down, so the beaches were not too crowded. Weather is great mid – low 80s.

April 15-18

Had a wonderful time visiting our CP Ships friends.

April 19-20

Spent a couple of days in the Florida Everglades, lucky all of the Alligators had been fed the previous day so none of them were interested in us visitors. The viewing areas were great and many types of animals(Alligators, Turtles, Snakes, and Birds) were easily visible.

April 21-25

4 days lazing away in “Margaritaville” AKA the Florida Keys. Like a couple of slugs, we enjoyed the hot weather, and just relaxing by the ocean.

April 26-29

We toured the Kennedy Space Center, Astronaut Hall of Fame and Daytona USA, as you can see by the pictures we had fun at these locations. I suited up for a stock car ride on the Daytona track at 160mph, what a rush. The weather continues to cooperate as it rained one morning(free car wash and boy it needed it) while we were in doors and it’s been sunny and warm the others. We continue to enjoy the wildlife in Florida with opportunities to see: Armadillo(s), Dolphins, Manatee and Owls.

April 30 – May 5

We arrived in St. Augustine on April 30, enjoyed a walk to a local ice cream parlour (2k), most of the fun came on the return when the skies opened up and rain came, and it came big time. We got a lot of value on this walk: exercise, free car & trailer wash, 2 free showers, the lightning for entertainment, free laundry(at least for the clothes we were wearing), still had to pay for the dryer. We have spent the remaining days touring St Augustine, and enjoying the beach.

Here are our Florida pictures. Florida
