Punta Gorda, FL - Dec. 30

We left home Dec. 28th. Our first day we drove 420 miles to Richmond, VA and stayed at La Quinta Motel, very dog friendly. Actually it seemed like half the people had dogs! The second day we drove to Kingsland, GA, 580 miles and a very long day, but the roads past Richmond are very easy driving. This La Quinta was much more updated and very comfortable. Again, everyone we met had a dog and the motel was full for the night. The third day we only had 320 miles to go. We took Route 301 to I 75 and drove straight down to Punta Gorda. There is much more traffic now than in November. We are all settled in and ready for our New Year's party here at the park. Monday I will go to Home Depot and buy some flower pots, flowers, and herbs to decorate our patio. Lily is busy watching for dogs, bunnies, and people! It feels good to have some warm sunny weather!

                                                                                       At Home for Christmas

The first thing we did was to set up our Christmas tree and decorate with white candles in all the windows. We made sure we put Lily's Santa on the couch for her to cuddle. We hope to leave for Florida after Christmas!

Home - Dec. 4

We arrived back home today after leaving Punta Gorda, Dec. 2. We made stops at Walterboro at a pet friendly Sleep Inn the first night. The second day we drove 580 miles to Edgewood, MD just north of Baltimore and stayed at a La Quinta Inn & Suites, very pet friendly. Our last day was the shortest, just 350 miles. We drove on I 75 to SR 301, then picked up I 95 north of Jacksonville and remained on that road to home. We plan to leave Dec. 27 - back to Florida!
