We arrived at Williston Crossings RV Resort yesterday, Saturday, approximately 1:00 p.m. What a neat little town with the RR running thru it. The resort is very beautiful. Haven't taken pictures yet. We got settled in. Met one of our neighbors that came from Ontario, 2 Hrs north. They have an aged Golden named Jessie which Jenny made friends with.
Coming down to FL we stayed over in Macon, GA, at a lovely Wal-Mart! Woke up with 3 RVers. We had a tremendous slow down as we got on the south side of Atlanta. It took us 1 hour 20 minutes to travel approximately 30 miles. Talk about tiring!! No problem...just traffic.
Going to check out the resort and activities today and travel to the Gulf.
Until then.....

Merry Christmas!
Pray all my readers have had a blessed and Merry Christmas today!
It was certainly that here in the Smith household today. The family (Chris, Paul, Katelyn and Shannon, Gordon, Chad, Cara and Cindy) arrived Noon. Our meal was simple but delicious....appetizers, chicken stir-fry, and oh, those finger food desserts. Yum, Yum! After eating, the grandchildren opened their gifts. We had our stockings packed full and fun to open one item at a time. While we were preparing for Dirty Santa, the grandkids went outside to shoot Chad's B-B gun. Then back to Dirty Santa which was played somewhat as an auction....nobody kept their gift but was able to get it back if they had money to buy it. FUN, Fun, fun!!!
It was sad to see everyone go, but blessed to have everyone in!
Our tree and decor is put away, RV is packed, supper over, and soon will close the computer and pack for trip to Florida. Jenny is excited. She always seems to know when that RV is going to hit the road!
Checked the weather in Williston, FL where we are heading. Can you believe it is showing 80's!! Sure is going to be tough weathering those temperatures. LOL
To all our friends and other family, we love you and hope you will come see us "down there"!

Trip to IN
Here we are in Clarksville, IN, at the KOA. Making a quick trip to visit with Mike's mother which we spent with her today.
Had lunch at a very famous restaruant "The Overlook" in Leavenworth, IN. Such perfect timing as we set in the restaurant high on a bluff overlooking the Ohio River. Christmas decor was lovely and the player piano was filling the rooms with Christmas music. Cardinals were numerous feeding on the open feeders. Snow flurries made the setting perfect. Not only was the home-cooked food delicious along with the homemade pies, but the view was breathtaking. Sitting by the window we saw barges making their was down the Ohio River at another well known spot called "Horseshoe Bend" of the Ohio. The river actually makes a horseshoe bend that you can see from where we set. So here we are sitting atop the bluff in IN looking over into KY and then beyond there back into IN.
It was a very relaxing time spent with his mother, sister, Ellen and her husband, Stu.
Last night, we arrived at the KOA and then drove to one of our favorite restaruants, Kingfish. It sits on the Ohio River (IN side) between 2 main bridges that take one into Louisville, KY. Excellent food and the night view of Lousiville is awesome!
We are leaving tomorrow, Saturday. Got to make it back so we can get to our friend, Joan Shoup's book signing in Hendersonville, TN.
