It's Beach Time!

We wrapped up Virginia and, having checked off a good portion of our bucket lists, we decided to head straight to Florida and some major relaxation.  We powered through North Carolina...

Welcome to NC

??? 

This was in front of the North Carolina Welcome Center, but I have no idea what is represents!

Saw lots of tobacco fields along the way...

Tobacco fields

Much prettier in person than in a picture.

  The weather began getting hotter in South Carolina...

Welcome to South Carolina

And finally drove into Florida on the second day...

Welcome to Florida

We got to our RV park on Naval Station Mayport and hit the beach...

Believe it or not, this is the beach on an average attendance day!!

The beach is on Naval Station Mayport and, since you have to have a military ID to get access, it's generally never crowded.  About 2 or 3 miles long, it's like having my own private beach!  And I've been walking on it about 7 miles a day since we've been here.

Sid's caught some fish...

We've seen some storms roll in and out...

Watched a guy land a small shark...

Enjoyed the sights and sounds of the shore...

Wondered about the many, many ships that come in and out...

Spent time photographing shore birds...

And, just in general, did a lot of relaxing!

Beach in the morning, beach in the evening, beach all day long - it never gets boring! Along with a little sightseeing, which I'll post about later, and some driving around just looking, we've been here about two weeks and are ready to move on.  We're headed further south, to what's called Florida's Space Coast. and will have more adventures along the way.  Hope you'll join me!

Until next time...
