We were hoping to get a another week here at Jonathan Dickinson State Park but were only able to add two more days so our stay here totaled nine days. The down side is we won’t be here for Thanksgiving… However we have a list of places we will call this morning and a fall back position at a Martin County Park in nearby Stuart Florida called Phipps Park. It is not the best site in the world but it available and the sites are large and far apart. They are also within walking distance to a federal park called the Lucie Locks.
We knew when we partook in this lifestyle that these holidays would be “different” so we plan to simply chalk this up as a new life experience but it sure beats working… and I am sure we will figure out how to make the best of it.
So our last few days in Hobe Sound Florida have seen us in a bit of a routine… We wake up and enjoy some freshly brewed coffee, lounge a bit and then we have breakfast. We lounge a bit
Well time to sign off as it is nearing 8:00 am and time to call some parks to get a site for the holidays… we have to check out by 1:00 so we will know soon where we will be staying for Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving where ever you end up! With our families out of the country, we're used to holidays without them - that will be one less thing we'll have to get used to when we're fulltiming.
ReplyDeleteTook me a while to figure out that picture with the shells. I'm sure you'll enjoy your bird no matter where you end up. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll find something as long as you don't plan on a state park. We're heading to Fort Myers Sunday...we may run into each other eventually. Happy Thanksgiving. I liked what you said about being siteless..not homeless.
ReplyDeleteI just thought....if you are an Escapee member, you can always get a site in one of their parks and you will probably feel more like "family" there. It might make your first holiday without family easier. The one time we were at an Escapee park, we found the people very nice and friendly and we felt like we belonged. I could easily do a holiday with them.
ReplyDeleteI am currently at an Escapee's Park and the park cooks the turkey and all of the Rver's provide the side dishes, this is my first holiday away from family,also. But, I am with my new family, now.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the holiday. We have spent a number of them away from family and friends, but still enjoyed them. Two years ago we actually forgot about Thanksgiving and had to scramble to find a place to stay at the last minute and ended up in Hilton Head, where we had not planned to go, but now we have seen it. We also were able to have Thanksgiving dinner with others in the park, so it worked out great in the end.
ReplyDeleteSo maybe you will find just the right place to celebrate:)
good luck for the Thanksgiving holiday, and as we have found over the years that family and friends are only as far away as the internet, enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThat routine sounds heavenly, can't wait to get back to a similar schedule. Hope you lans somewhere fun for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteTough life! Envy you every day. But now we have two homes, the one on wheels is just up the hill.
ReplyDeleteIs it possible for you two to make a Skype connection with family tomorrow? That helps us get through many days separated from family. We wish you two a very Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWe have had a few holidays with no family around for various reasons and I have to say they are some of our favorite memories. Sometimes it is just good to enjoy each other. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have a really nice routine worked out for yourselves. Now you are going to create some new traditions for holidays when you can't go to family or they come to you.
