Jupiter, Florida was a great location to spend a week and visit my brother Jeff. Three years ago, when we bought our motorhome, we stayed at the Lion Country Safari in West Palm Beach. This time, we wanted something a little less crowded, even though it would have been nice to hear the roar of lions again from the motorhome.
Flagler Beach was only a 30 minute drive south from St Augustine, Florida. We were looking forward to this destination because our coach would face directly at the Atlantic Ocean with that huge window providing day long tranquil views, but with the dramatic sounds of waves breaking day and night.
St Augustine was the start of our Florida winter snowbird destination. Its been a few years since we last visited Florida. After last years cold and wet winter in California, we were looking forward to beaches, sunshine and warmth.
Jekyll Island was only a couple hour drive south from Hilton Head, South Carolina. We were looking forward to it’s less pretentious and more rustic island community.
South Carolina is a scenic state, especially along the coast. Even though we are on our way to Florida, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to explore the area. We loved the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and seeing peak fall foliage for the last month, but were ready to see a beach again and eat fresh seafood.
The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited National Park in the United States. It seems as if all the visitors were there for the fall foliage spectacle.
