Headed toward Florida 10-15-10 to 10-17-10






We left Mission, TX 10/15 and headed East. Unfortunately, we have not sold our Chrysler, so I had to follow Kirk all the way to FL. The car is not towable and we have our jeep that is towable. So, fortunately, we have 2 cars while we are here. Our first stop was Vinton, LA. We found a nice little RV park just off I-10 and stayed the night. While there, we had excellent cajon food at a local restaurant (sorry, but I don't remember the name). We left the next morning and stayed that night in Gulf Shores, AL. Now that's a place that is very difficult to spend just one day. We stayed at the State Park which is great and drove downtown to the Shrimp Basket. Some of the best shrimp I've ever had. While at the restaurant a lady at the table near ours asked if we wanted tickets to the Brad Paisley concert for the next night......UGH!!.....I had to say no because we were leaving the next morning. For a brief moment I thought about staying one more night just to go to the concert, but it really would have thrown us off our schedule. She was giving them away as she was also leaving that night. She did manage to give them to one of the waitresses. The beaches are awesome at Gulf Shores. We will definitely go back when we can spend more time. After reluctantly leaving Gulf Shores, we headed toward our destination. We arrived at Flagler Beach, FL near where I would be working, and spent the night at Beverly Beach RV Resort on the beach. We were staying there only one night as the next day we would look for a park/resort where we could stay for the 3 months that I would be working here. Flagler Beach is awesome. We ate at one of the restaurants on the beach (The Golden Lion) with outside seating (most have outside seating that overlook the ocean). The people we've met so far are so nice and informative. We drove around and searched for an RV Resort the next day and found the Encore RV Resort in Ormond Beach. It's a nice sized park with everything we need and only 15 minutes from my work.
