4th July Trip

Leaving tomorrow for our 4th of July camping trip:

-3 nights F.D. Roosevelt State Park Pine Mountain, Ga.
-5 nights Fort Benning Uchee Creek Campground, Columbus, Ga.
-7 nights Fort Benning Recreation Area Destin, Fl.

Our Daughter and her family are joining us in their camper in Destin. We have a pontoon boat reserved from the marina for 8-12 on the 4th of July. Should be a fun time with the grandkids.

We are now 2 years into retirement and are taking longer trips and enjoying different places. We are also going to Fernandina Beach, Fl. in August and back to Destin for Labor day at Henderson State Park and North Georgia in October. Already working on next years reservations!

  • Sounds like a good trip. We leave for our big trip next Friday 5 nights at manatee springs the 4 nights at Fla caverns. Always great to be out of the house and camping at different places
  • Sounds like a great time!

    I'm leaving on my Independence trip next Wednesday to Colorado! I cant wait to get some fresh mountain air!
  • Have a great time. I'm looking forward to retiring the end of Oct. DW says she plans on working a few more years but that may change after she sees me not having to punch a clock anymore. I'd get so frustrated on Sundays after we'd pack up from a weekend trip, knowing we would have to punch a clock on Monday. It will be nice when we can take longer trips in the future. Enjoy!!
  • Have fun and may God give you many safe trips. Keep us posted on the fun so we can enjoy it too.
