Celebrating the 2012 Holidays in Florida

We proceeded on to our next big set of linkages with friends and family is in south Florida... specifically Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Hobe Sound.  From there, we have lots of folks we want to see who are conveniently located either a short drive north or south of us.  We had two more hops to make to get there -- Tallahassee and Bushnell, FL.

Wet and windy weather seems to be chasing us across the country this whole trip, so we cut our Tallahassee RV Park stay to just one night (turns out we thankfully missed a huge storm the night before we got there) and added a night to Bushnell at the Sumter Oaks RV Park. This is another "Escapee" park, so we enjoyed meeting a number of other full-timers.  It is always fun to share stories of "life on the road" and we especially like getting new "RV" tips.  You'd think we wouldn't have too many stories of our own yet, but we find that is not the case.  Especially nice was participating in the weekly "dine in" -- dinner of pulled pork, beans, slaw, and dessert for only $6 each.  What a deal!

Finally made the last drive segment to Hobe Sound on Dec 21, arriving just in time for an overnight cold snap of 40ish degrees. Enjoyed meeting some RVers next to us who are planning to go full-time in another year or two. They had also traveled quite a bit world-wide and Maren went to see the movie, Lincoln, with them one evening (Jeffrey not interested, though I suspect he just enjoyed having some time alone!)

Our two weeks in Hobe Sound were super full of lunches and dinners almost every day we were here... such a treat to have enough time to see everyone for a change!  Rang in 2013 with the usual resolutions to exercise more, eat less, yada yada  :-)
