Winter Fun in Florida

We are back in Destin, Florida anxiously awaiting spring. It's been a bit chilly and rainy at times here in Destin for the last couple of weeks so we are feeling a little bit of cabin fever at the moment. However, in January, we spent a few weeks in the Tampa/St Pete and Orlando areas and enjoyed mostly 70 to 80-degree weather. We visited friends in both places and once again met up with Jeanne & Chris (sister & brother-in-law) while in Orlando.

Debbie and sister Jeanne just south of Cocoa Beach at one of the
 few "dog beaches" in the area.  Harley loves beach-combing!

After we returned to Destin we met a really nice couple, Tom & Eileen from Toledo, OH who were parked next to us. We enjoyed spending some time with them & they've invited us to stop by when we pass through their state later this year.

Our friends Robert & Margaret from Tulsa, OK came to Destin for a visit so Steve & Robert played a round of golf at Burnt Pine Country Club (pictured here) on Valentine's Day morning.  Then the four of us had a lovely dinner at Tommy Bahama's.

We have big plans for March. After a quick stop in Alabama to have a computer desk & additional custom cabinets installed in our motorhome, we plan to head east through Tennessee and North Carolina.  We'll go through places like Chattanooga, Rarity Bay and the Great Smokey Mtn's in Tennessee, and then on to Asheville, Charlotte, Fayetteville & New Bern in North Carolina. We plan to see the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte and will attend a Matt Redman concert (Steve's favorite Christian singer/songwriter) in Fayetteville on Easter Sunday.  New Bern is on the Atlantic coast and is the setting of most of the Nicholas Sparks novels that I (Debbie) love to read.  Should be fun!

Until next time, cheerio!
