We're in Florida

Well we made it to Florida. Stopped in Coldwater, Michigan for 5 days at Potowatome campgrounds. Friends and family came out nightly and visited. Really enjoyed our stay there. Then we went to Marion, Indiana for 3 days. Visited Denise's family. After we left Marion the next stop was in Tallahoma, Tennessee to visit with an old school friend Bill Stahlhood. We stayed at Barton Springs Campgrounds. It was just a few miles out of the way, but worth it to see an old friend. The next stop was Tuscumbia, Alabama to visit more of Denise's family. Stayed 3 days visiting and south we went. Took hwy 13 south to miss Birmingham and Montgomery. Took about 2 hours longer but well worth it to stay out of the traffic. (after all we're not in no race) Stayed just south of Montgomery for a night, then on south into Florida. We made our last overnight stop just south of Gainsville, Florida at Payne Prarie Preserve State Park. A very nice State Park and close to the freeway. That left us with about a 4 hour drive to get to our winter destination. Aruba RV park, Lakeport Florida. The trip was smooth except for in alabama we had to replace the tires on the 5th wheel with only about 4000 miles on them. (CHEEP CHINA TIRES !!!!!!!!) Replaced them with Goodyear truck tires. Should last a lot longer.
