Official Floridian Roadbums!
Talk about a whirlwind roadtrip?!!! We knew things were going to happen fast ~ but WOW... Once we crossed that Florida state line there was no turning back. In consequence, this RoadBlog is going to reflect the same pace, as we are presently in the "thick of it" dotting all the "I's" and crossing all the "T's."
After one night in Jacksonville to rest our weary bums, we hit the road running for St. Augustine. If you're in the vicinity of this gem and don't stop by for a visit ~ I'd consider that a sin. It is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the United States and it is something to behold. Since this was not on our list of "contenders" we spent the afternoon walking about, taking pictures and discussing our intended return for a future Pleasure Trip!
We then proceeded to cruise backroads STRAIGHT to Lake County. Located in northern/central Florida, smack dab in the middle of Orlando and Ocala, this was our main area of focus. And focus, we did! After just 3 weeks, we found our home. Nestled in the middle of, I have NO idea (yet) how many lakes, I cannot fathom how we could ever get bored here? The opportunities are endless... From activities, to sightseeing, natural springs, employment and of course ~ Roadtrips! The fact that we are a little over an hour from either the Atlantic Ocean and/or the Gulf of Mexico is remarkable!
So, with that being said, stay tuned... because I have no doubt that RoadBlog has some serious material to work with moving forward...
I'll end with some Roadbum wisdom: If everyone traveled in the same direction, it'd be a pretty boring world, right? So, remember our motto: “Get in, put her in drive, plan some spontaneity and let the magic begin!”
