Last Leg of our Journey Begins

We spent a splendid weekend with dear friends in North Carolina.  After enjoying amazing southern hospitality, soccer games, basketball practice, and lots of good eating, we left Monday morning for Florida.

Our first night's stay on this last leg of our trip was in Hunting Island State Park in South Carolina.  Although it was Monday and the skies opened up in heavy rains, the park was absolutely packed.  We felt lucky to set camp at one of the last two available campsites.  Unfortunately, except for a short stroll the following morning, the rains kept us from enjoying the lovely beach.

The next morning, we were back on the road.  We drove to Anastasia State Park in St. Augustine.  The park was a delight, filled with lots of shorebirds (including some with pink feet and others with yellow feet!).  We even happened upon a turtle grazing an evening salad and a small pod of dolphins fishing one of the inlets.





We spent the next two nights catching up with our nephew and his boys.  Although I didn't get a photo, we were blessed to see a manatee off their dock.

Now we're headed to Orlando to visit grandchildren!  Wow!  It will be a great time!
