We arrived in Tallahassee, Florida midday on Monday; shortly after setting up and settling down to relax, those gray threatening clouds that followed us down Route 10 from Pensacola, finally opened up - releasing a very angry thunderstorm. We were so glad we weren’t driving through it!
We stayed two nights at Tallahassee RV Park. This is a smaller park nestled among very tall pines and lovely landscaping. Though the sites were very close together (we were lucky to be at an end) that would have to be the only fault I found with the immaculately kept facility. Even the cozy clubhouse was pristine. This is a great place to stop and it’s no surprise the “ no vacancy” sign was up every night. You could actually walk to a Publix supermarket just a couple of blocks down the street.
On our full day in Tallahassee, we visited the Tallahassee Auto Museum. This is a must see if you are ever in the area and is also part of Harvest Hosts for RV overnighting. Not only are there almost 200 antique and one of a kind automobiles, but an amazing variety of collections- golf clubs, Steinway pianos, telephones, knives, fans, toys, model cars, motorcycles… all arranged in beautiful vignettes. It was a great walk down memory lane!
We decided to take a break from my cooking and found a great farm-to-table restaurant literally across from the museum. It was a lot like our favorite restaurant back home “The Farmer’s Daughter” - in both decor and unique menu. It was delicious!
This Wednesday morning, we were on the road by 10:15 a.m. Minnie assumed her position.
This leg, 177 miles to Brunswick, GA, were traveled on secondary roads - more direct, however slower. But the scenery was beautiful, zero traffic and even though longer in the truck, felt more relaxing.
We are overnighting it Southern Retreat RV Park. A good place to stop but too big a park for my liking. ( too many people) However- one unique feature- it has a restaurant open all day.
Tomorrow we have a shorter jaunt (130+ miles) to our stopover in Walterboro, SC and then will finally reach Myrtle Beach - one of our bigger stops - on Friday. We will be there three days until Monday - but unfortunately, the weather looks like rain the whole time we’re there! Hoping we’ll get a break!
