Our First Month on the Road-Part II


Live Oak, FL- Suwannee River State Park

We loved staying here!! This along with Biloxi and Savannah have been our favorite stops so far. We were so excited to be able to spend a couple days at a state park.  It was very inexpensive and it had full hook ups which we were told is rare for state parks. There was no wifi though and my phone signal wasn't the greatest. Chris has a AT&T hotspot and that still worked great.

 I loved that we could just pack up some lunch and go hike some of trails. We never wanted to leave to go anywhere. At night we enjoyed looking at the stars and we saw a couple lightning bugs which I have not seen in years.  We also just enjoyed sitting outside in our lawn chairs and having some drinks. It's times like these that we would love to have some of our friends with us.

The only bad thing was we both got bit by ticks. We were idiots and didn't use any bug spray but lesson learned for next time.

Our spot was so large for only $20 a night

Be prepared for lots of pictures. I just couldn't help myself.


So pretty
Nice try buddy we can still see you
hearts 
Possibly yucca flowers?
Some pictures from the Suwannee River Trail

mushrooms
We saw a couple deer on one of our hikes
I believe this was from the Sandpiper trail? It wasn't as pretty. It looked like there had previously been a fire so some of the green was just coming back.



Small cemetery that is all that is left of a small town

That face. haha World's biggest pine cone?

Savannah, GA- Savannah Oaks RV Park

Savannah is beautiful.  There are so many things to do and see there. A week wasn't long enough to experience it all but we tried to fit in as many things as we could in the short time we had. Our RV park wasn't bad either. 

Our RV spot at Savannah Oaks
Savannah is now the #1 most haunted city in America. So of course we had to do a ghost tour. We decided to do a Half-Haunted/Half- History Pub Crawl from Full Moon Tours. I had a groupon so it was only $30. I planned on taking all these awesome pictures of all the places we stopped. Instead a crazy storm came through. I thought it would be cancelled but it wasn't. I'm still not very happy about that. We stood outside sharing an umbrella in the pouring rain while trying to hear what our tour guide was saying. There weren't many people there and 4 of them left because of the rain. We were supposed to go to more bars but only made it to 3. We still managed to have an ok time though.

The only picture from our ghost tour- at the Bier Haus

One thing we enjoyed was our trolley tour. Which picked us up and dropped us off at different locations through out the day. That was pretty cool. Most of the fun was just walking around to some of the different places and of course checking out some of the restaurants. 


In front of the Cotton Exchange downtown
Beautiful Cathedral of St. John the Baptist
Fountain at Forsyth Park
The oldest oak tree in Savannah- 320 years old

The Olde Pink House restaurant- Chris loved his food too expensive for me


Amazing ice cream- there is always a long line be prepared
Had some great food and beers. Supposedly haunted as well.
My flight of beers at Moon River
Chris is obsessed with fish and chips. He said Churchill's Pub had the best he has had so far.

Dillon, SC- Bass Lake RV Campground

This stop was really for no other reason than to kind of stay somewhere inexpensive, secluded and just relax. We did a lot of rushing around in Savannah and spending money.

After we leave Dillon we will be heading to Centreville Virginia and will be exploring the DC area. Then we are going to try and do some two week stops or even longer. The problem is we are trying to get to the New Mexico area around October for the Albaquerque Balloon Fiesta so we can't slow it down too much. We might just need to have some long driving days. We are trying to not plan things too far in advance. It's hard to do that but planning doesn't seem to work so well with this lifestyle. We learned that after everything with our rv repairs. We are just trying to live in the moment.

Thank you so much for following along with us on our journey. We are just two big kids having a good time. We are so glad we decided to do this. We are enjoying living a more minimalistic lifestyle and exploring our beautiful country.
