Bill and Nancy

We have been back at the South Carolina Beaches since Labor Day. It is the perfect time to be at the beaches of South Carolina. However, it begins to cool down come November, so it is time for a little Florida Vacation;o))

We managed to snag a site for a week at Anastasia SP near St. Augustine. Then we follow that with 3 weeks at Fort Clinch State Park in Fernandina Beach, Florida. After that we head back to Buck Hall for Thanksgiving and Huntington Beach for our “Snowbird” month during Christmas!!

We left Buck Hall on Monday, October 27th and drove to Walkabout RV Park in Woodbine, Georgia. It is our usual one-night stop on our way to Florida. Walkabout is a PPA campground owned by a delightful Australian couple and their young family. Easy on, easy off I-95, laundry facilities and the nice owners make it the perfect stop.

On Tuesday, October 28th, we left Walkabout RV Park around 9am and drove 2 hours south to Anastasia State Park. We did not follow Google’s directions as they wanted to route us through downtown St Augustine and across the Bridge of Lions :o((

Instead, we followed the State Park website suggestion to take

I-95 to Rt. 207 to Rt. 312 and then north on Rt. A1A to the state park entrance.

It was a very easy drive with minimal traffic :o))

We did have to wait to get on our site. Checkout time at Florida State Parks is 1pm and the people on our site stayed to the last minute. However, that gave us time to get lunch and chill a bit. We finally got to our site #118 on the Coquina Loop and got set up. The sites are a bit tight, but they are private and very natural :o) We are on a 36 foot site and Baby is 35 feet long. We cannot park the Tahoe in front of Baby.

Shortly after we got settled, our friends Bill and Cris from Murrells Inlet called to say they had arrived at the World Golf Village. We have plans to meet them today for dinner. Then tomorrow, the guys are going to the World Golf Hall of Fame followed by a round of golf on the Slammer and Squire Course. The girls are taking off to do a walking tour of St. Augustine.

So off we headed, 19 miles, to have dinner with Bill and Cris!!
