May 2021 Heading from Florida to NY

 I had mixed feelings about composing this post, but since we stayed at the most fabulous campground thus far, it warranted a documentation.

We encountered nice weather the whole journey, but would have loved to have had sunshine and warmer temps for our first stop, Beverly Beach, located in Flagler County and right on the Atlantic Ocean. Although sites were VERY close together, the view obliterated any complaint on that fact. We were booked for two days, but I sure wish it could have been longer. For me, it was the most relaxing place I've ever stayed and it brought back happy memories of my days spent in Seaside Heights with my mother and brother.

The remainder of the trip was pretty much down hill, uneventful and mostly tiring. I was well prepared with meals for the entire trip, making our stops less stressful for me to get a decent meal on the table after hours sitting in the passenger seat. I need to remember to do that all the time.

Stella made tremendous strides in her traveling routine on this trip. It took patience and my past experience with Lucy to create just the right "safe" spot for her to comfortably hide while traveling. I place two folded, fluffy blankets under a dining room chair and place another blanket over the chair, creating a "cave." One little slit is provided for her to peek out or me to peek in. Unlike Lucy, she never ventures out to see us or use her litter box. Perhaps in time, that too will come to pass. 

So, the uneventful trip (except for Beverly Beach) has been formally placed in the blog for posterity. I'll end it with some photos of the journey and our stay here thus far. Nothing is in order, due to the poor blog program I am utilizing. I need to upgrade to a better platform eventually.

Packing up to leave. See how close the site next to us is?
 No one was there during our stay.

See if you can locate the sand crane -  look closely.

One of the best things about staying at Croton Point Park:
the multitude of birds, flora and fauna.

The second best thing about staying at Croton Point Park: 
puppy-sitting our favorite snow-bird camping dog, Georgia!

Quote of the day: They say "It's not so much the destination as the journey," but, we sure did enjoy Beverly Beach a whole lot more than the rest of the trip.  This journey taught us that it is now George's job to plan the campgrounds since I picked epic fails. ~vc
