Back in Florida

Crossed the Florida state line!
We are heading back to the Tampa area for several reasons: to spend spring break with our grand daughter, Kailey; I have last minute "stuff" to do for my daughters wedding at the end of the month; and also, we want to look at houses in the Venice area.
Never knew how long the Florida panhandle was driving east on I-10 from the Alabama state line. It will take us 3 days to get to Tampa! We only drive about 150 miles a day now. Just about four hours at a time. Not rushing or pushing ourselves. Interesting, most of the traffic going west on I-10 and north on I-75 are RV/motor homes. Must be those snowbirds heading home. The temperature is quite warm here....85 degrees!
Passed over the famous Historic Suwanee River, but there is no river access from the interstate and no mention of "tourist" activities on the Internet or in the AAA travel book. I thought it would make a great photo-op! So today, we have no photos.
Andy is getting tired of driving around the U.S. I think he needs a break. It is "work" planning our route, finding a place to camp, activities for us to do, etc. We both know we don't want to be "full-time-travelers in an R.V". I am too much a home body. We both also love to work around the house, decorating and renovating. We kinda miss that, but we will have our work cut out for us back in Michigan fixing up our cottage in Mio this summer!! Planning to keep the camper and take side trips, a few weeks at a time, here and there. But we are not done yet! We will be in Florida until May 2nd, then will head to Atlanta and southern Georgia, then over to the Outer Banks and make our way up to the D.C. area for Andy's daughter, Jennifer, graduation from grad school. Unfortunately, Andy still has another six weeks on the road!
