OWe spent an enjoyable weekend relaxing at Jack & Jan's & left Sun. Morning to continue on with the second half of our vacation. Our next stop was to be at St George Island. It was too far to make it all in one day, so we spent one night at the Oak & Pines Campground in Lake City, FL. We stayed there last year. It is a very well maintained family owned campground. We got an early start on our way to St George Island. The weather was very gloomy & overcast. When we got there the park ranger who checked us in said that severe thunderstorms were on the way with possible tornados. Oh great! I felt like we were back in Illinois! Well he wasn't lying, there was a lot of thunder & lightning and it poured all night long. In the morning there were huge puddles all over the park. We had to walk through a large one even to get to our car which was just in front of our RV. But we were fortunate we didn't have not one leak in the RV. We saw that others were not that lucky. A brand new trailer in the site just next to us had leaks and had to leave. There also were several people camping in tents which got drenched. It still was overcast, but stopped raining so we went to check out the beach which is less than 10 min from the park, which is one of the reasons we like it here. This is our 3rd year coming to St George island. We were only at the beach for a short time because it was super windy and very chilly ... We decided not a "beach day". So we went to do some sight-seeing. We happened to see a public golf course, so since we had our clubs in the car, we decided to golf 9 holes. I had on sandles so I didn't golf, I was Richard's caddy & drove the cart. He did pretty good, but there were several puddles on the course.Since we can't pick up any TV channels in the park and do not have Wi-FI we saw a Red-Box on the way back & got a movie to watch. Then played a game of rummy (which Richard won).
Wed we woke to a sunny day with temps forecast to be in the high 70's. After a delicious breakfast of bacon & eggs, which Richard made outside on the griddle, we went to spend the day at the beach. We finally got a day at one of our favorite beaches .....sunny & not windy. Richard had a good find with his detector ... A quarter, a dime and a penny! He even practiced his putting on the sand, and got in a nap. Tomorrow we leave here for our next stop.
