Heading West !!!

It's time to "kick the tires and light the fires".
For the next few days we will be "enjoying the journey" getting reaquainted with The Muffin and life on the road.
Our first day out was a nice cruise up Hwy 19 in Florida from St. Pete's to Tallahasse and then we were heading west.
Of course our first night was spent at Casa de Walmart in Crestview.
After filling with gas(2.99 a gal...OUCH) we were on the road again.
I know I should be taking pictures but I don't know if my pictures could capture the site, smell and feeling as we sailed down I-10 just as the sun was coming up behind us. Everything was so cool and green.....and the fragrence of all the flowers and fresh mown grass was so amazing. Maybe its just that we so love being on the road.
We made one stop in Vickburg Ms to visit the Vicksburg National Military Park.Mom and Dad had stopped there several years ago and enjoyed it so we thought we would to... and we did. It was really warm tho so we couldn't leave the Airhead in the Muffin for long.
We decided it might be a good night for an Rv Park so I plugged the laptop in to may phone and found several in the area. Criteria: Dog friendly, wifi, preferably no train tracks nearby.
Rivertown Campground fit the bill.
So now we are rested ,sparkly clean and ready to hit the road.

A Day at the Tampa Bay Aquarium

The pre-construction phase on a large Target remodel is sometimes pretty sporadic for us, leaving plenty of time to see the sights of the areas we are working in... in fact thats one of the best things about our life on the road.
Here's John enjoying a shark from a very nice vantage point, Outside the glass.


The Tampa Bay Aquarium was just another example of when in Florida if it's not in or on the water it just isn't!!!!
It was such a great way to spend a day.
