Days #60-61 of Our Epic Trip

12-31-2023
Thousand Trails Three Flags, Wildwood, Florida

We spent the day packing up because we are leaving tomorrow. We hung out with Mike and Diane and said goodbye. The boys love hanging out with them and didn’t want to leave. Peter hung his head, tucked his tail, and slowly walked out of their house after much coaxing.

Walmart Parking Lot, Perry, Florida

We got up at 3:30am to go to Ponce Inlet Dog Beach in New Smyrna Beach, FL to watch the sunrise. It was a beautiful, clear morning. The sand was silky smooth. It was quiet and peaceful. It was the best way to start 2024 with some meditation and reflection. Daniel enjoyed driving the Tesla on the beach. The boys enjoyed it too. Marcel was really interested in chasing the birds and Peter enjoyed smelling new scents.

We left Wildwood, FL and drove to the Florida panhandle. We stayed the night in a Walmart parking lot in Perry, FL. We are still getting used to “boondocking” but, as long as we can shower and make coffee, it’s a doable option to get us to our next destination. We decided to use our propane stove to heat up our water for coffee which required a new pot. Good thing we stayed at Walmart!
