Peppy's Dream Moving Adventure Blog

We slept in a little today (9:00am), took showers, did a load of laundry, and then picked up Brandon for lunch. 

We were so happy that we could see him one more time before we left, and I even remembered my camera this time!  He took us to a great place called Lenoces Neighborhood Restaurant.  I had the best grilled cheese in the WORLD!  It was a grilled four-cheese sandwich on rye with onions, tomatoes and mustard.  WOW!  That’s all I can say.  I LOVE grilled cheese and this was SO good!  Eric had a little more discipline and had a salad with grilled chicken, and Brandon had their Eggs Florentine, which looked really good.

After lunch we went to the STARBUCKS, which is right downstairs from Brandon’s apartment (such a lucky guy!) and then we hit the road.  It was sad to say goodbye, but we know Brandon will come to visit in San Diego, so it won't be long before we see him again!

We pretty much drove straight to Tallahassee (Eric did most of the driving, while I had the most delicious nap in the back, and then I drove for an hour while Eric “relaxed” (as much as Eric can relax)).

We arrived at the BIG OAK RV PARK at 7:30pm.  There really IS a big oak – it’s gigantic!  While hooking up the electric and water, Eric quickly made a friend (Ken) who recently bought the biggest, nicest RV I’ve seen so far.  We’d love to ask for a tour, but we’re too shy!!

Eric also saw two guys on mountain bikes riding around, and he stopped them to ask about mountain biking in the area.  They told him there’s a race tomorrow at 9:30am at Tom Brown Park at the Magnolia Mountain Bike Trail.  Eric doesn’t feel fit enough to race (I think he could), but we’ll definitely watch and then he can get in a good ride with plenty of other riders around, which is always more fun!  I’m so excited and happy for him, because he hasn’t had a good ride since Fort Duffield in Kentucky on September 5th.  That’s a LONG time between rides – especially for Eric, who used to ride 7 days a week.

We will be eating a dinner of leftovers tonight (since the fridge has been working fine for 2 days now) and will get an early start tomorrow for the mountain bike race.  Then, we’re off to Alabama where we’re staying at the most interesting campground.  So, be prepared for tales of our next big adventure!
