Off We Go !

We got up very early so that we could leave at 5am to get up to the Camping World Tampa to get our coach tires rotated before the traffic hit. All was fine but...we got there early and then a big thunder, lightning and rain storm hit so I could not disconnect the trailer and car. At 8am I went in and found out that we needed two new front tires but, they did not have them ! So, I called Tallahassee Camping World and arranged to be there the next day to have them installed. The tires cost $728 each ! The total bill came to $1769. Are you sure you want to full-time RV?

Nice to see and hear the birds again...and Katie is doing a great job travelling with us. She's either on Kim's lap sleeping or in her bed sleeping.

Oh...we left on April 7th, my birthday. Kim got me some funny birthday cards and a Cypress Knee carving. Very thoughtful.

Sandhill Crane Families

The other day, we were doing some exploring in the car and came across these Sandhill Crane familes strolling down the grass median, across the road, and in someone's front yard.

Baby with Dad

No red crown yet on this baby.

...and off they go....

Then, we saw this family the next day...

Right in the middle of the street. Fortunately, there's not a lot of traffic here.

They came over to investigate

And...lastly, this family of three....

Dad is on the lookout while Mom and baby eat.

Cute little fellow

"Hey Mom...whatcha got there"?

Even though most of the locals zoom right by, we're still taken by them so we'll pull over, grab the binoculars and camera and sit for a while. Hope you enjoyed them.
