We’ve had some great weekends, and a a fantastic week long trip with just me and Jennifer in the Travato. Now It’s Spring Break, and time to test the limits of our mini-RV. 4 people, 9 days… 🙂
On Saturday, 3/19 We took off early, drove most of the day, and made it to Talladega National Park: Cheaha State Park Campground… Apparently, the tallest Mountains in Alabama..
I was sick most of the trip, and Jennifer did nearly all the driving. We got to Jacksonville late Sunday, and went to dinner with the crew at the “Cantina” down on Jacksonville Beach.
Tony had some odd looking company in the parking lot..
Chaz & Jericha seems to trade it out vehicles every time we visit.. This one looked like a comfy ride.
You’d never guess who was first in the water..
Mini Chaz..
Two odd birds.. and two Love Birds’

The kids slept in the house at Jerichas. Though the Travato does sleep 4, You have to climb over one of the sleepers if you want to get in or out the sliding door, it sure was nice to get our little “bedroom” back to ourselves for a couple nights.

3/21 Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens
Was great. Even though we heard several people say it was the most crowded they had ever seen it, it didn’t feel overcrowded. The animals seem to have adequate room, everything was clean, the trails were nice, and the entire place was a beautifully kept “wild” garden.
And look at all these pretty creatures I found wandering around..
These guys were not very entertaining. I think they needed a few more spoons of sugar in their cornflakes…
Early Mornin Feedin:
3/22 Hannah Park
Too cold for this Old Man, but of course all the kids swam..
With Eight people in and out of the Van at the beach we found good use for the rear shower. Had us sum foot washins’…
Hannah Park was fun; Beach, Park, Large Campgrounds, picnic areas, playgrounds, and all just a few minutes from Jacksonville.
Took the scenic route “home”, and Tony got his first boat ride.
There were Dolphins jumping in and out of the water in front of this ship. You can’t see them in this picture, so you’ll just have to use your imagination…. ooo ahhh … look at the beautiful dolphins…
Last Dinner at Kickbacks and Chaz started welding on a swing away trailer hitch for the bike rack for Tony..
