Our Trip East

My husband retired from one nuclear power plant in Arizona and decided to contract at another one in Florida.  Leaving our home and family, we took off cross country in a truck pulling a 5th wheel bound for Juno Beach. 
However, we had no idea how grueling it would become.  Hubby and I were sick - I mean sick!  We finally had to layover an extra day in Houston, Texas to see a doctor and try and recover.  Maggie, the travelling dog, was the only one enjoying this trip!

After a good rest, and some wonderful antibiotics, we were on our way again.  I finally had the energy to take a few pictures - out the window of course. 
We were behind schedule!

The swamps of Louisiana were fascinating. 
I have never driven over so many bridges in one day!

We were so happy when we finally arrived in north Florida!


This is our home away from home for the remainder of the year. 
What adventures await us?

  2. Way to go! That looks like a very nice park. I'm certain you will meet some interesting new folks. How was the "backing in" to your new space? Please post pictures of your new digs with your awning out, lawn-chairs set up, pink flamingo planted near front door, etc.
