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!
