Moving on…
People at Long Key State Park are so friendly. Our neighbor, Patrick, saw our dogs and gave us some great beta: Marathon Key had a dog beach! Cocoa Plum Beach. The dogs had been dealing well with being tied up all the time, but we wanted to give them (Bailey especially) a chance to run.…

I don’t want to leave.
This recap starts with Sunday, March 5th. I don’t think I’ve mentioned this yet, but ever since we left Fayetteville I’d been having some problems with my neck and shoulders. As in, I had this giant knot behind my right shoulder blade. I felt it the most then I moved my head up or down.…

More Time in the Keys
We only had one night at Bahia Honda State Park. Friday we were set for Long Key State Park, which is about a 40 minute drive north. That’s the view from Bahia Honda’s Sandspur Beach, where we spent the bulk of our day. The rule here at all the Florida State Parks is that you…

We made it to the Keys!
I can’t believe I haven’t posted since Monday! Wait. Of course I can. It’s been a whirlwind kind of week here in Florida! So let’s start the recap: After returning back to my Aunt Jean and Uncle Vaughn’s house for the weekend, Michael and I did take the opportunity to discover Castillo de San Marcos,…

SUNNY Florida
Maybe we should just call ourselves the rainmakers. No, it’s not all like that. We arrived in Jacksonville on a warm and sunny day. We went straight to Blackfly Outfitters. My aunt and uncle, Jean and Vaughn Cochran, own this awesome fly shop, as well as the Blackfly Cafe next door. We met most everybody,…

Warmer Florida
Yeah, I know. I don’t get to complain about cold weather in Florida. But Pensacola was chilly one day, warm the next. So we were pretty happy to see a steady warming trend as we headed east. Our second night at Basin Bayou, part of Eglin AFB, was a lot warmer than the first. We even got…

Getting to Florida
Onward towards Florida. After our adventure with the tick we packed up and headed in to Tuscaloosa, Alabama. This town is home to the University of Alabama, so Crimson Tide signs were everywhere. We stopped by a cool little coffee shop called Heritage Coffee (which made me love Tuscaloosa immediately) and stocked up at the…

The Deep South
We headed out of our Mississippi campground on Sunday, February 12th. We stopped in Tupelo long enough to go to Starbucks (it was the only coffee shop open, so don’t judge) so that I could work on the blog and Michael could chart our course towards Florida. The place: Blue Creek Park,outside of Windham Springs,…

Three states in one day?
The south makes some interesting things possible… Like crossing through three states in one day, and still having time to set up camp before dark. Here’s the recap for the weekend of February 10th: We arrived in Hot Springs, AR on Thursday night, and Aunt Theresa proceeded to thoroughly spoil both dogs. See, Uncle Richard’s…

Things I will miss about Fayetteville
We closed the door on the house on Township Road for the last time on Tuesday. The junk removal people came around 11 and cleared out what was left in the house. After they pulled away we spent a couple of hours packing up the the truck. You might have seen our post on Instagram…

Good times in Fayetteville
Thursday (the 19th) we got to do something we’ve been trying to do for months: go to a bluegrass jam. An old family friend, Reed Doke, has been trying to get us to come to the Bear’s Place jam since we arrived here in November. It’s on the third Thursday of every month. Things kept…

Happy New Year!
It sure has been a busy weekend here in Fayetteville. It all started earlier this week, when the furniture we ordered for Beth and Steve’s new apartment arrived. Michael and I had to be there for the delivery – and then we had to make sure everything worked, of course. But that meant we could…
