Our Rolling Ritz!

We arrived late yesterday (Sunday) in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It is muggy, worse than South Florida. We slept in and then went to a nearby Camping World to get a silly spare part. They didn't have the part so we went to another RV dealer who will order and drop ship it for us. All I have to do is give him a ship address, once I figure that out.

Here is our route from Navarre Beach, FL to Baton Rouge.

The Visitors Center in Louisiana has beautiful sculptures made from wood salvaged from the Katrina devastation. There is a tremendous amount of art that has been born from this tragedy.

Our first night out after five days of cooking in the RV was worth the wait.

Our Rolling Ritz!

We started our trip from home last Thursday and drove about 4 1/2 hours to Ocala and stayed in a very basic KOA campground overnight. We were really exhausted!  Driving the RV takes a lot of physical
effort.

The next morning we drove another 4 1/2 hours to Navarre Beach on the Gulf Coast.  I think it's hotter in the Panhandle than in South Florida.  We were stuck in construction delays west of Tallahassee and the outside temperature on the highway reached 107.9 degrees!!  That was hot!!

Here's the route we drove:

Driving this RV is a little intimidating but easy once I got the hang of it. 

Santa Rosa RV Resort Navarre Beach, FL

We were lucky to get into this RV park as there were a lot of festivals and competitions going on this

weekend.  Everything was booked.  This was a spot with a beautiful view of the Gulf Sound with

fabulous breezes which we needed in the 97 degree heat!

Getting set up for our stay.

Lilly spent most of her time under the RV (the coolest places around)!  If we could have we would have crawled under there with her!

Relaxing

We're finally settled in and Peter is thinking of Vodka and Pellegrino!
