Welcome to the Sunshine State, but please pardon the clouds...

We pulled out of Brunswick, Georgia this morning, leaving behind a beautiful sun-shiny day. It was a terrific day to travel down the I-95 corridor to Daytona. The only traffic we encountered was in Jacksonville, and that didn't last for too long of a time. The whole trip was a straight line...no hills, dips, valleys or cliffs, much different than our Virginia drive.


Blue skies and signs for Daytona!


The further south we got, from the time I snapped the above photo, the denser and darker the clouds became. For the next two days we will be camped at Daytona Speedway KOA, which is located just off of I-95 and 7 miles from an airport! The constant hum and whooshes of traffic sounds are never-ending, and the roar of jet planes will be a new experience for us. Eventually, we will get used to the sounds and not even notice them. I hope. 

Lucy has made it perfectly clear that she does not like it here. At the sound of the fIrst tractor trailer that rumbled by, her eyes opened wide and she ran under the covers. She did travel very well this trip, only coming out twice to express her displeasure of being on the move, but she quickly settled down and finally acquiesced.

The staff here are very friendly and courteous. The site we are in is very close to not only 95, but a major road. The site, itself, is quite nice. It has a gravel pad, small picnic table, fire pit, park-style bench and plants. If it were summer, we would be afforded the shade of a tree draped with Spanish moss. There is a huge Farmers' Market across the road, within walking distance, but we will unfortunately have to miss out since we are leaving before the weekend. I would have liked to have stocked up on some nice fresh fruits and vegetables.

Our little patio area...


I don't think I would stay here again due solely to the noise, but it shall suffice for this trip.


Deep thought for the day:  No matter where I am or what the environment is, once I enter Allie with "G" and Missy Miss, I'm home sweet home.
