South Carolina

-

Our only site seeing trip was driving backwards one hour to Georgia as to see Savannah. I’m glad we did, it was a quaint place with lots of history. If we didn’t have the dogs we’d have explored even more. They needed outside time and were so well behaved, very friendly to everyone. Of course m, they love the attention. We all definitely got a lot of exercise and some great pictures. —See my Savannah blog :)

We didn’t do much in South Carolina, but repair our trailer and grocery shop. I tried to connect with my niece, Jodee, who lives there, but unfortunately, we were to far from her and leaving too soon. My other plan was to visit Charleston and the Magnolia Plantation. Unfortunately, because we decided to back track to Savannah, we were just too exhausted to have a next day excursion. These activities can be really exhausting! 

We had to leave for North, Carolina the following morning. If the original campground hadn’t messed up, we would have had two more days to explore. I’m was so disappointed, not sure if or when we’ll make it back. 

Our only pictures are of our cute dogs and broken trailer. The trailer was damaged underneath when we were driving on the freeway. A semi truck in front of us ran over a tire which kicked back to us. Shane couldn’t do anything but run over it. The damage was to the drain covers that are to the holding tanks.

Port Orange, Florida —Ponce Inlet and Daytona International Speedway

We arrived in Port Orange, Florida Thursday February 23rd. I immediately didn’t like the RV park, and I still don’t. It’s old and run down with a train track that runs right behind the park, trains run all hours… they’re insanely loud! On a good note, I found a place to get a massage and decided to try a hymilan salt stone massage. It was wonderful, so relaxing!!! I highly recommend trying one. Once I was finished, Shane and I got lunch from Panera, yum! And then we found a great dog park for the dogs to play-in, and socialize. Afterwards, we decided to explore the beach front areas close to Port Orange, where we’re staying.  We stumbled upon Ponce Inlet while looking for a dog friendly beach.We thought we’d get to drive onto the beach in Daytona. Since we weren’t seeing anything, we headed for a lighthouse that was supposed to be close by. That’s when we discovered a park with a river area for dogs. FYY, There are no beach’s that allow dogs in Daytona. The pet friendly Inlet was r...

Galveston, Texas

We loved this little island. It’s on the Gulf Coast and has so much character and charm. The history has been enlightening, and unfortunately, so much of it tragic. It’s definitely been an experience.  This is were Juneteenth originated. It was here on June 19th 1865  that the Union Army, General Gordon Granger and 2,000 federal troops arrived to formally inform the enslaved  Black and African American people (about a quarter million) that the Emancipation Proclamation has freed them.  January 1, 1863 was the day Lincoln proclaimed the end of slavery. It took over 2 years to get that information to Texas and finally to Galveston, Texas. This was primarily due to travel time since Texas was so big. Mail and verbal communication during the time period had to be delivered by horseback, wagon or on foot.  The island of Galveston Texas belonged to Mexico, then Spain, then Mexico after they defeated Spain. Now it’s part of the United States. Many slaves were brought h...

We both enjoyed exploring the Houston Space Center, also known as NASA. We got to view the area where they prepare for space flight. We were able to go inside the space shuttle, Endeavor. Got to view the Atlas Rocket up close and so much more. We spent hours here. Highly recommend visiting, if in the area.  Guided Tour of the Training Facilities                   Rocket Warehouse, over 300 feet long.                             Showering in Space!
