Go West, Happy Campers, Go West

Our entertainment for the evening - he sang and played well.
Reminded us of Cousin Mischa!
Jeff enjoying a glass of wine and the lovely surroundings.
It's with mixed feelings that we pack up today.  From now on we will be heading West toward home.  We have spent the last 5 days here at the beach and it has been fabulous.  North Beach at St. Augustine, Florida is definitely on our list of places to return one day.  Although, if we stayed here much longer, I might turn into one of those "leaf blower ladies".  Geesh.  The sand is everywhere and it's not even that super fine dusty stuff like down in Port Aransas.  I also don't think our poor faces could stand any more sun.  It's hard to keep sunscreen on the girls faces when they are in the ocean for hours.  We kept reapplying it but Mya is still looking a bit cooked.  She has much fairer skin than Jade.  Jade just keeps getting darker.  She is happy now that her feet are as dark as her legs since she has been in flip flops instead of socks and tennis shoes - lol!

Peach Cobbler -Yum!
 I went for a run/walk on the beach yesterday morning around 8 and there were maybe 5 people for as far as I could see in both directions.  But by about 1 the place was hopping although still not as crowded as you'd expect for a Saturday.  I guess when you live in that environment every day is a beach day - no big rush.  We've had a little rain every afternoon - just briefly - but today they are saying 80% chance and thunderstorms so we may be headed out just in time.  The humidity in this part of the world is amazing.  Jeff took his camera outside to take a picture of the roads in the RV park (the trees make beautiful arches over the sandy roads - really pretty) but the lens fogged up and he couldn't take it.  Same thing happens to your glasses when you step outside.  Now that's humidity.  Home will seem like a desert after this!

Some kind of decadent chocolate thingy - Yum!
Just stopped and got gas and are headed to Tallahassee.  We have the rest of our nights stays reserved except tomorrow and Tuesday night but since it's the middle of the week, we figure we can wing it.  Laundry day today I think.  Got to wash some of that sand away. Oh, and we didn't want to do laundry at North Beach.  I don't know if it's because the place is located on a barrier island or what their water source is but thank goodness for filters on our RV.  The shower at the pool (unfiltered water) smells like rotten eggs - and not just a little bit.  It's hard to even rinse the sand off using it because it makes you want to gag.  Even our filtered water tastes and smells like eggs but it's nothing like that shower.  The pool smells like eggs and chlorine - yuk. We don't want all our clothes to smell like rotten eggs.  Hopefully, our new place will have some fresher water. We could all use some.
