I’m not the only one who looks forward to the “snowbirds”, or whatever they like to be called, leaving the state.
It is now June, and they are gone. I suspect many leave in April, but surely by June they have gone back to their other homes. I can’t even imagine have two great homes to live in. Anyway…
This means that the traffic should be a lot better. Florida is still a very overcrowded place, but when all the northerners show up it’s horrible. And they keep coming. Everyone wants to move here, for some reason.
Camping spots may also be easier to grab – the nice ones that are never available. My niece just got this beautiful spot on the beachside area at Gamble Rogers. It was a cancellation and she snapped it up for the weekend! Unheard of!
We’ve stayed at Gamble Rogers campground a few times, but never on the beachside. With only 2 or 3 sites that have an actual ocean view, it’s tough to grab a spot like this one.
Now that summer is here, we do not have any camping trips planned. I’m hoping to get out on the boat and do some lounging in the water. We won’t camp again until September when we will visit Wekiwa Springs for a couple of days. It will be hot, and I hope to swim in the spring.
So there is less traffic, and camping spots are easier to book, but who wants to go out and about in 90 degree heat with 90% humidity? Camping in heat is manageable, but it’s the packing and unpacking that gets me.
In August I will get a short trip back to New Hampshire for my youngest son’s wedding. I won’t have time to sit back and relax much, but just being in that environment will renew my soul.
Thanks for reading. Here are some other stories for you.
