Moving Day

I had a ruff night last night with my back.  The dreary weather had me down in my back.  I was awake early as i really didn’t sleep much.  I got up took some pain pills and went back to bed.  Hubby wasn’t sure we were moving and we knew that until my pain medication kicked i wouldn’t be doing anything.

Hubby helped me get most of the inside done last night so i didn’t really have much inside to do.
 
While i was laying down he got all the outside done and got us hooked up.  Once he got that all done it was time for me to get up, get dressed so the slides could come in.  Just as we were getting ready to pull out it started to rain.  I got on my computer and it looked like we would be driving out of it and since we had the slides in, were in the truck we bit the bullet and went ahead and headed out.
 
It wasn’t long and we were in Alabama.  The rain had stop but it was dreary looking. 
 
We stopped at the rest area in Alabama for me to stretch my legs.  We are taking it really slow with my back.

Wasn’t long and we were in Mobile


the rain caught back up with us as we were getting ready to go through the tunnel

my pictures didn’t take very good
   
  
We arrived in Florida and stopped at the rest area for me to get out and stretch my legs.   
We’ve been to this rest area before but it’s still pretty and i love the blue angels plane.

Here we are parked in the rest area .. Yes it’s rained here too
 
Look at all the water

We got through Pensacola okay but our address for the campground we are going to was wrong.  It took us to a visitor center for Gulf Islands in Pensacola.  Were going to Gulf Breeze.  Our turn wasn’t too far back the way we came and we found it okay.

We didn’t see any signs and the directions we were received said to turn right, go across the toll bridge and follow.  Well we did that and ended up in Navarre which was about 10 miles out of our way. 


Although it was a beautiful drive and along the beach.  Finally we found a place to pull over and asked directions.  A nice man told us where we could find a parking lot big enough to turn around in and how to get back to where we were going.  He gave great directions and after our drive back we finally found the Seashore.
 
The white sand dunes and the Gulf is just beyond ..

Look how close the road is to the water .. oh that beautiful emerald water

We found the campground registration office and checked in and then we drove around to select the spots highlighted that would hold our rig. 

We got setup just in time as it was starting to sprinkle.  The rain had found us again.  After setting up we went back and to let them know what site we selected.  It was a bit of a snug maneuvering but hubby put us right in.  I watched to make sure the front of our truck didn’t collide with the tree.

The campground is along the beach even though you can not see the beach from the sites it’s not far away and even though it was raining i just had to stop and walk to the water and take in the breath taking view.  As you can see by my hair the wind was blowing and it was misting rain.  We didn’t stick around to long as we were both hungry and it’s been a long day.

We had hamburgers with grilled onions for dinner and then we took the dogs on a short walk in between the rain.  Once we got home the rain really hit. 

We are enjoying a relaxing evening in our new surroundings.  Life is great, hubby had our satellite setup in minutes.  In fact he leveled it and came inside and it worked.  The best part is my internet seems to work here :) 

We paid for a week, i will get more pictures this week as we do some exploring.  I’m sure i will have lots of beach pictures to share as i plan to spend lots of time enjoying the beach.
