Day Thirteen - Orlando, FL to Southwind, FL

Today was a short drive, mostly on back hill roads, and we spent as much time staring at the map and the directions as we did admiring the scenery. It was about an hour and a half from our friend’s house in Orlando to Southwind, outside of Ocala.



Once we got there, we spent the afternoon:
meeting the staff
having lunch
exploring my new house
unpacking the boxes I shipped
napping
figuring out how much cleaning and organizing there was to do

Finally about 4:00, we drove into Ocala to do a bit more exploring, have dinner at the Cracker Barrel (GREAT restaurant for those of you who’ve never been there – think southern country kitchen cookin’. Yummy.), and start working on finding the best deal on new car insurance. But enough about Ocala – camp is much more entertaining!

Here’s a few views from around camp:












Now it’s time to settle in, explore for a few days, and take Dad to the airport on Weds.

WE DID IT! We covered 3600 Miles in 12 days (counting from 2pm PDT), 9 states, lots of laughs, and many fond memories. Thanks to all who helped make this trip possible by hosting us overnight, and thanks for all the memories!
