On our last day in Florida, we decided to head up to the Northeast coast to St Augustine and make a visit to The Fountain of Youth. We thought after being on the road for 175 days, it wouldn’t hurt to take a drink from the famous spring water. And who knows, maybe it would […]

Ending Florida With An Amazing Stay At Sunkissed Village RV Resort – Day 174
Our two weeks of traveling through Florida is coming to an end, but we certainly went out in style with a wonderful stay at the new Sunkissed Village RV Resort in Summerfield, Florida.

Seaside, Florida – A Surreal Community Like No Other, Day 162
Today we found ourselves on the streets of Seaside, Florida. And I have to admit, we walked around this beautiful community in a state of perplexity. It truly was a surreal feeling as we pulled down street of scenic 30A. We had already made a trip to Destin. So we decided to head further east […]
Pensacola, Florida – America’s First Settlement, Day 160
Today we said goodbye to Alabama and then crossed over the state border into Pensacola, Florida. Although both of us have spent quite a bit of time in Florida over the years, this is one city that neither of us had been to before. So we decided to take a little time out of our […]
