Bugs, Beaches and Friends

Image
 Today I was determined to get at least 10,000 steps in.  After two very long days in the car and barely 7000 steps between both days, I needed to be moving. So, after breakfast (good thing they serve until 10am since we slept until almost 9am!) we walked around the hotel parking lot and the small surrounding neighborhood.  Lots of little furry creatures underfoot.  Spring has definitely sprung here. Then onward south.  First stop - Varn Park in Flagler Beach.   Minimal clouds, bright sun, temperatures edging towards 80 degrees and almost 1030 am on a Saturday of a long weekend.  Where are all the people?  Made for a great 2+ mile walk.                                         We found people! In downtown Flagler everyone was eating and                       ...

To Trust or Not to Trust?

Image
  Yup, we wound up stopping at South of the Border for gas and a quick walk to stretch our legs.  More people than our last stop but still eerily quiet.  And just as strange. We had intermittent rain, pouring rain, misty rain, sun, fog and wind.  The weather was all over the place.  So were the drivers - 9 accidents causing numerous delays between Emporia, Virginia and Palm Coast, Florida.  Nine!  Thankfully none looked serious. And Siri.  Our settings were good.  Our address in Palm Coast was good.  And yet... she took us down some side roads to help avoid the accident traffic but it's debatable whether we actually saved any time.  Then this: I had to wonder if Siri actually knew we were just north of Florida.  In April.  With temperatures in the low 80s.  What was not plowed?  Ugh.  To trust or not to trust? We made it to Palm Coast just after 7 pm.  Another long day but the next few days are much, mu...

Double Folly

Image
  Our 4 am departure from Lincoln was wet.  Pouring rain and fog accompanied us for many miles.  We made it through New York and over the Washington bridge with some traffic but not horrible.  Then Siri sent us through New Jersey via Route 78.  Okay.   When entering the destination with one eye open at 4am, I chose Savannah.  We just needed general directions through New York, Washington and then probably Virginia.  Savannah seemed a logical choice.   Similar to the roads we traveled home on just weeks ago, we figured the Washington DC traffic must be horrific and we were being rerouted to save time.  We didn't think anything of it.  And it was really pretty, even with the rain and fog.                                                  Very narrow, twisty roads.     ...

Shenanigans

Image
 April 1st and of course the word of the is very appropriate - shenanigans - behavior that is mischievious or high-spirited.  Plenty of shenanigans through the years with high energy and high spirits!                                                                                Paul in Daytona                                                                                Megan                                    ...
