1st few days at Gulf State Park

 We have been taking it easy our first few days here. My tailbone is still causing me a good deal of discomfort (pain) so I have been resting a good deal of time. It rained most of the weekend anyway, so it has been a good time to catch up on TV shows and book reading. Jim bought me a cushion to sit on that helps some. I have also made sure to take walks, although moving slower than my normal pace, sometimes with Gus and sometimes without him. He has been keeping busy chasing an armadillo off our site. It seems to visit every day. 


Today was a cool but beautiful day! Lots of sunshine! Jim took Gus for a long walk and I went for a slower solo walk midday...probably too long a walk but it was too nice out to miss.


We sat outside in the sun also for a few hours reading while Gus lazed in the sun. 

We are watching the Daytona 500 race and eating Aldi"s pizza, with added peppers, onions, and cheese. The medium is the perfect size for the convection oven. Gus ate our crusts along with his regular dinner. 



Our reservations for next year are locked in. We managed to get the same site for 6 weeks beginning late January  to March 5. Jerry & Heidi are planning to join us for our last week, to enjoy Pensacola's Mardi Gras celebration next year. They were able to reserve a sight in the same section as us. We will still try for a week or two in Florida, but we don't have a lot of hope in that with the new system.
