We might not be having a white Christmas this year, but the sun sets in Nokomis, Florida make up for that...enjoy the holidays.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
The one bad thing about this RV life we are living is that we are never with our family on the holidays, which is hard, but we are making the best of it.

A day full of nature at Myakka River State Park...
It was a perfect day to explore this state park east of Sarasota. It felt like we were in Africa with all the different types of birds and wild life we saw, plus we counted 17 deer in various fields of the park.

 

An over flow site at The Royal Coachman...
This over flow site with water, electric and cable TV is better then most of the regular and elite sites we have stayed in around the country.

The road won...
I have always been lucky traveling over the mountains of Pennsylvania, Virginia and the Carolinas all these years without getting a scratch on our motorhome, but not so this fall. Thanks to Mary Ann she talked me in to getting full glass coverage.

                                    
                                     
A picnic and long  walk on Coquina Beach, Florida

We are all set for the Christmas Holiday...so come on down.

The trials of the RV life...
Mary Ann spending time in the Royal Coachman's laundry room.

Stake on the Barbie on a warm Florida night is a good start for the holiday...Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Hanging around our favorite spot....The Jetty at Nokomis Beach, sunny with temps in the 80's all week.

We have just arrived at The Royal Coachman RV Resort in Nokomis, Florida for the winter on site 58. I am sure it is going to be another memorable stay.

The Adirondack's in October...
It doesn't get much better then viewing the fall colors and listening to the rushing waters of Buttermilk Falls in Long Lake or the Bog River in Tupper Lake.

Back to where it all started with our boys in the late 70's...
Being the rugged boondocking RVer's that we are, we went up to Long Lake for the night after the water was shut off for the season at Lake George Escape. We stayed at Sandy Point Motel which has not changed at all...bring back good memories.

Mary Ann & I spent our 50th Wedding Anniversary in Meredith, NH on Lake Winnipesaukee at Mill Falls At The Lake. The good news is...it was a perfect weekend, the bad news is we were not with our family, but the good times made up for it.

Out of the several hotels on Mill Falls At The Lake, we stayed in the Chase House which surpassed our expectations...Mary Ann wanted to ditch our motorhome and move right in.
