Becoming a resident of Florida

The week was quiet, warm and nice. Friday we left for Jacksonville, FL to visit Kathy's sister Jackie and her brother Tim. It's a 7.5 hour drive to Jacksonville from Wilmington. I love my Dodge Diesel!!!! 25.1 mpg on the way down. I'm curious to see if it improves when driving to Pensacola on Monday morning.

Saturday we went to the grand opening of the Camping World Super Center in Jacksonville. What a disappointment! The Camping World in Belleville, MI (near where we used to live) is 5 times the size of this one and much more selection, although this one had many more RV's for sale than the one in MI. Some black tank cleaner and a new under the cabinet coffee maker later we left :). Saturday night we went to Golden Corral to eat dinner, Tim's favorite spot!. Today is a rest day. Chewie got a bath and Kathy and Jackie went to Tim's to do some house cleaning. The weather was a little chilly in Jacksonville at 60 degree's with overcast and a light mist in the air. Looking forward to the warmer weather in Pensacola and some great gulf seafood for dinner.

Tomorrow morning we leave on the 5.5 hour trek to Pensacola. We have to register the truck and 5th wheel first, we then have our driver license appointments at 2:30. By tomorrow evening we will be official Florida residents. We'll drive back to Jacksonville Monday night and leave for North Carolina sometime on Tuesday.
