We left St. George Island at either 10/11 am depending on which timezone our phones decided we were in. We cleaned the trailer a little more than usual before heading to the dump station. Our drive was rather long, but we had to stop for gas twice. There was a very horrible semi accident before…
Day 27 Again: St. George Island State Park and Sugar Hill Campground
After our morning rituals, we headed to the beach. There was a 12 pm storm scheduled so we wanted to get a couple hours in before that. We realized it was difficult to tell time on this island because time kept switching between EST and CDT–the island was right on the boarder of the time…
Day 26 Again: Leaving Ozark, AL Heading to St. George Island State Park, FL – Final Vacation Destination
Today we headed to our final vacation destination–St. George Island State Park. The morning was hot and sticky and full of sugar ants. We packed up as quickly as we could amid several discussions with other RV’ers and made our way to a Walmart for a pick up before we headed to the island. When…
Day 25 Again: Leaving Starkville, MS & Heading to Ozark/Fort Rucker KOA, AL
Our slumber ended when Anna crawled into our bed–scared of the rumbling thunder that was beginning to rock our camper. I went to sleep in Anna’s bed and the rest of the night I spent checking GPS as the thunder woke me. I finally was kind of up by 5:30 am–pools of water were visible…
Day 24 Again: Leaving Little Rock, AR & Heading to Starkville KOA, MS
Getting ready to go this morning the girls went up to paint the bridges from the top of the camper before we headed out. I can’t stress enough that this is a great city campground–clean, efficient, spacious for the city and our site was right on the water. Very cool. Anna slept in her bed…
Day 23 Again: Leaving Crater of Diamonds and arriving in Little Rock, AR plus Friends!
Today we had a rough time packing up to leave Crater of Diamonds. After my morning workout, Oma and Opa called to get help with the convoluted process of getting into look at a house we asked them view for us. After giving away our unborn child to allow them to see the house, they…
Day 22 Again: Digging for Diamonds & Diamond Springs, AR
Today we tried to get everyone up a little earlier so we could get our diamond hunting in before noon. After Noon the temperatures were supposed to rise past 100 so we didn’t want to be digging in the sun. When we headed out to the mine, Goat Dog stayed in the comfort of the…
Day 21 Again: Leaving Chickasaw Nation and arriving at Crater of Diamonds State Park, AR
Packing up was pretty quick and easy. I really liked The Point Campground and all the sites nestled in the trees. We had a brief hiccup after pulling out of the site as I left my coffee in the microwave. Luckily it didn’t spill too much. We made a quick dump station visit since we…
Day 20 Again: Little Niagara on the Travertine River & Junior Rangers
We got a late start today and hung about the camper for a while as the girls played with a kid from the camper next door. I caught up on the blog and Keith looked up unsuccessful ways to fix my computer unfortunately. I have been using Notepad on his PC to do the writing…
Day 19 Again: What’s the Point in Chickasaw Nation (stolen lands of the Chickasaw)
Luckily we didn’t have the thunderstorms of the previous night, but I could see a big system from across the lake which was pretty pretty amazing to watch during my early morning work-out. The girls were sleeping in again. We finally decided we needed to get ready to head out fast when the radar and…
