FLORIDA 2015 – Stephen Foster State Park - White Springs, FL and HOME SWEET HOME

Stephen Foster State Park
Monday found us headed north to White Springs, FL near the Georgia border for a stop at Stephen Foster State Park, located on the banks of the Suwannee River.  We had planned a week visit but after viewing the weather report decided to leave the next morning headed home to Kentucky before the next rain and cold spell arrived.  On Tuesday we drove as far as Chattanooga, TN and overnighted at the campground provided by Camping World which is just off I-75.  After leaving the campground at 6:00 AM we arrived home by noon on Wednesday.  We unloaded the RV and by 3 PM had it returned to storage and the mound of dirty clothes we brought home already in the washer.  As predicted the cold rain welcomed us home this morning (Thursday). 


This was our 6th straight year to winter in Florida and as always it is like awaking each morning in paradise.  January was cooler than usual with temperatures in the 60 – 70 range, which suits me exactly.  February and March were much warmer with record breaking temperatures in the mid to high 80s almost daily.  We adjusted by doing our biking and hiking in the early mornings and spending afternoons reading and relaxing. 


Additionally, we always enjoy meeting up with friends while visiting in Florida.  We are already making plans for next year.  See you “somewhere” up the road . . . . .
