FlorIda! 2/8/14

Woke to a chilly 34 degrees and a rainy day...


but Pippin was prepared for the rain!


By the time we were ready to leave this Quality Inn the sun was trying to break through the clouds.  This Q did have a handicap accessible room but not as nice as the last one--no step in shower and no bath seat but I managed with the help of my trusty care partner!  Got another swim in!  (Gram, we are one exit north of Hilton Head, and it's cold!)

Onward!

Stopped for lunch and to hit another Food Lion.  Back in CT Steve found 2.5 oz. pouches of Chicken of the Sea wild caught salmon and they are perfect to throw on top of some organic romaine for an easy lunch.  At the last Food Lion Steve found Bragg's salad dressing with Organic apple cider vinegar and organic extra virgin olive oil!  For anyone on the Paleo diet, you'll appreciate this.  I'll tell you, Steve has really gotten good at spotting the food I eat now wherever he shops.  Mind you, he doesn't eat like I do, but he's eliminated all trans fats and he buys organic cookies for himself plus he drinks almond milk now, eats uncured natural hotdogs, and we eat as much grass-fed or organic meat as we can afford so he's definitely made some improvements to his diet!

Yeah, we made it to Florida!  We stopped in Jacksonville and are staying at a PA campground for $24.00 (cha ching we saved another $24.00).  It's 54 degrees here but it's going to be 70 tomorrow and there is a big flea market next door to the campground that will be open tomorrow!!!

This is the first campground we've found with cement pads so no leveling tonight.

We've been listening to the soundtrack of Yentl thanks to ML so maybe we'll watch the movie tonight.  

Can't wait to feel 70 degrees tomorrow!

70 degrees? Maybe you should stop and savor for a few days! Was in the teens this AM when we got up and more snow later today. Maybe some warming at the end of the week.

I'm jealous!

Hi...we did stay another night! See tonight's blog. But it's only going to get warmer as we proceed south. We would have stayed here for a few more days but they would only give us the Pa rate for one night! 😡. I'm sorry your weather has remained so crummy!
