Month: April 2015

The weather was nice, not hot nor humid, so we decided to adventure out.  First thing of interest was taking Sadie to a dog park where we played with a frisbee for the first time. She was actually able to catch it a few times. Some of the problem had to do with the delivery – I had a tendency to throw it at an angle and toward the ground! 

The next stop was a walk across the parking lot to another area that had a dog park fenced in on 3 sides. The 4th side was water! Since Sadie had been introduced to playing in water previously, we were pretty sure she would enjoy all of this. We were not disappointed. I think Sadie was quite pleased too!

I have many more pictures but I don’t want to overwhelm anyone, being the “Proud Parent” showing all those endless photos of their babies!!!

Our next stop was a drive out to Fort Pickens

Rob enjoying history liked this part of our day. Although he would have enjoyed getting out and walking the grounds, he knew that would tire him out too much so he took as much enjoyment as able driving through it all. Here are a few highlights

We also made a stop at a bicycle shop to look at bikes for Rob and a bike rack of sorts to use in the trailer and on the car. Well after looking at the types of racks and how they work, he had a light bulb above his head!  He figured out how to use one rack on both – he is so very talented, and cute! Well to me at least! Unfortunately he is getting his father’s lack of ass – boo hiss!

We have been sitting here and watching the rain for the past week. Now, not all day, but off and on everyday. Some storms have been severe. I am attaching a blip from a video I took, off course the sound of the thunder is soooo much less than actual. Also the sky looked purple at one point. In order to get the video on here, I had to shorten it and turn it, even though I took it upright. So to see it, it says to download it. I know that on android it doesn’t actually stay on your device from what another told me when they did it. So good luck.

 

We did get Sadie out to play. 

 

 

 

 

 

One day we even went out for a ride. Blackriver State Park is in the area. One stop was at the Bear Lake camping area. I had other photos from this day, but I can’t find them now, bummer.

 

 

 

 

 

We did have some interesting rigs pull in here.

 

Oh, one of the last things was something we saw in Indiana.

Now most of you know I love purple, but even I thought this was a little too much.

We are settling in here in FL. Spent the first week at a great KOA in Milton.  So far we have our new mail forwarding address, our DL’s, and took our CWL class.

While at the range, our instructor was telling us about some of the FL laws and regulations. One odd thing has to do with protecting your property if you have chickens. Well, not only did he have chickens, but he was all egged out and offered us some. He gave us an 18 pack and said we were welcome to have more.  I have to say that they were very good!

 

One of the quirks in FL is that you have to have any vehicle you bring to the state for registration get a VIN verification.  In the course of one day, we had our fingerprints done at the city police department, but had to have the county sheriff come out to do our vehicle VIN’s since that was easier than us taking them all to the officers. And, it’s always helpful to be up front with the officers. Once he found the VIN’s and wrote them down, along with the license plates, he went to his car and had them run to verify our information. Being that CA is so efficient, as soon as we changed the insurance to a FL provider and address, they sent out a notice and suspended the registrations for being uninsured! I just love the government offices and their choices of being efficient and timely.

While parked over at the KOA some of you saw pics of one of our overnight neighbor already, but I am going to share it here. He came in late, left early – barely got pictures to prove his existence.

 

 

Then while doing some grocery shopping, we came across an interesting shaped gallon of milk at Costco. What do you think????

 

Everyday is just a little piddling around here and there. Pretty boring right now. We have a massage on saturday down in Destin, plan on driving around a little, maybe hit a dog beach with sadie too!

Oh, and Happy Easter – don’t eat too  much candy! LOL

WOO HOO
