January 17th, 18th, 19th & 20 (Days 19-20-21-22)

Day  19 - Sunday  - January 17, 2016  Saint Andrews State Park, Panama City Beach, Florida

Today we left for Saint Andrews State Park around 9:30 am. Ron wanted to get there before the start of the play-off games at  Noon. The traffic was slow moving and we hit every light. We arrived at 11:45  am only to learn that our site was still occupied and would probably not be vacated until 1 pm - check-out time. 

TV reception was excellent so Ron settled in to watch the game while we waited in the parking lot for our site. As luck would have it we were able to move into our site  during half-time.

Site # 115  Tucked among the pines and palms

We would have liked a site on the lagoon overlooking the water but they were all booked. 

Between playoff games we were able to take Jewel for a nice walk. It has been a beautiful sunny day so it felt good to get outside for awhile.

Being a holiday weekend there were loads of kids enjoying themselves on the rocks. 

After a day of traveling, watching football and enjoying the good weather we settled in for the night. Not sure what tomorrow will bring but I can only hope more sunshine. 

Day 20 - January 18, 2016 Saint Andrews State Park, Panama City Beach, Florida

It was quite cold during the night and only 39 degrees when we got up this morning. It's not suppose to get above 55 degrees so jackets again today. The temps are running ten  degrees below normal for this area and this time of year. Had to wear winter coats and hats when walking Jewel this morning. 

Looks pretty but very cold when not in the sun. Didn't do too much today except our usual trip to Wal Mart. That seems to be the highlight of our days. Pretty sad, really. We've been here so many times that we've run out of things to see and do.  Just another day of long walks with Jewel and taking advantage of the weather despite being chilly, still better then back home.

Day 21 - January 19, 2016 Saint Andrews State Park, Panama City Beach, Florida

It's been three weeks since we left home and we have been kicking back and relaxing but now we are getting bored!!!!! Not so sure we could hang out in one spot for three months or more. Both Ron and I like to see and do but we've already done stuff around here! Sooo not sure what is next for us. We are here until Monday the  25th so we need to do something  besides take Jewel for walks or we will go stir crazy.

Day 22 - January 20, 2016  Saint Andrews State Park Panama City Beach, Florida

Ron and I discussed doing a few things today but couldn't get motivated. After a very long walk/hike with Jewel we stopped to talk to a couple from Maine. They are full-timing now and have been doing so for eight months. They haven't gone very far  and still seem to be getting their bearings on the full-timing life. We gave them some ideas of things to see when  they get to Tuscon. Hopefully they enjoy living on the road and embrace our beautiful country.

There are a Lot of Deer here

We had planned to go out to dinner at Carrabba's but somehow that got derailed so ate in instead.  Maybe tomorrow. Not much to report. Both the blog and we are boring and bored.
