Nice Visit and Scrubbed Launch

Our morning was filled with some local errands by me - getting new rear brakes on the Jeep and going to the store - and Josie organizing the fifth wheel for the visit with her sister and brother-in-law. The day started cloudy and wet, but at around 11AM the sun broke through and it became a clear and warm day.

They arrived at 11:30 and we had a great visit with them:

Pauline is into beading and Josie has a collection of beads that she travels with in hopes of someday finding time to make some jewelry. They spent a lot of time going through Josie's collection, and she gave some of her collection to Pauline. We had lunch and then went for a walk around the campground. The pool is a very nice area that we didn't get a chance to utilize while we were here, but I took these shots anyway:

Carlos wanted to get back home before the scheduled Space Launch so he could watch it from his backyard, which is only about 20 miles from the Kennedy Space Center - so they left at around 1:30. It appeared that the launch would be cancelled in the AM with the lousy weather until it cleared. Our decision on where to see the launch was made for us though, when we discovered that the launch had been scrubbed anyway as a result of an engineering problem (?) and wouldn't take place for at least 48 hours. We feel sorry for the people that spent a lot of money and time to go the launch site that may not not be in the area when the launch does finally occur. That would have been us had we decided to purchase tickets and travel the 80 miles to go to the Space Center. We will be in Georgia when the new launch is now scheduled.

Today we travel to Savannah GA, where we will spend 2 days in the Skidaway Island State Park. We purchased a Friends of Georgia State Parks pass last year while traveling through Georgia on our way to Florida. That allows for a discount on stays in the parks which always helps. There are some nice things to see in Savannah, but with only 2 days we will only be able to see a couple of them. It should still be an interesting and fun visit. The trip is around 240 miles and is on I-95 almost the whole way until we get to Savannah, and then the campground is about 15 miles off the freeway. We're ready to go...
