Back Home in KC

On Saturday, March 28, we left Lake Placid, Florida, to start heading back to Kansas City. The weather was wonderful there when we left and was hoping it would be nice by the time we got home......WRONG! Today we had snow showers and it is to be 26 in the morning.


We didn't drive that far the first day, just North of Tampa. We wanted to look around this area, as we didn't make it up there while we were in Lake Placid. We have always liked this area.


The next morning we left for Navarre Beach, Florida. We had been told by a number of people that this area was a nice place to visit. We hadn't been there before so we decided to spend a couple nights to look around. We stayed at the Navarre Beach Campground which was all right but we think next time we will try the Emerald Beach Campground down the street. We visited the Navarre Beach, Destin, and Fort Walton Beach areas. This is a very nice area and has beautiful beaches. Here are a few pictures:












Here are a few pictures of the Destin Beach area:












These beaches are beautiful and the sand is so white. The weather was pretty good while we were in this area. The forecast for the day we left was to have rain and storms coming in that night. We were very lucky to make it through the area without any severe storms.

The next day we traveled over to the Gulf Shores, Alabama area. We had been there about eight years ago and it has changed quite a bit since we had been there. We stayed at a nice RV park (Gulf Breezes) - thanks to Don and Linda for recommending it. We stayed only one night since the weather was rainy and cool the next morning, so we decided to go ahead and leave for the Memphis area.


In Memphis we stayed at the EZ Daze RV Park in Southhaven, MS., and it was a really nice park. It is only about two years old and the office manager/owner was so friendly and gave us all kinds of information for the area. We highly recommend this park.


Then Thursday we drove on in to Kansas City. Overall, we had a good trip home and we missed all the severe storms, thank the Lord for watching over us. It was great to get home. We have been busy catching up with family and friends since we got here. Emma, our granddaughter, stayed all night with us last night and today we went to visit with our two youngest grandsons. So we are back in the swing of life in KC!!
