Today we drove over to Lake Seminole on the Florida-Georgia-Alabama border to check out the Corps of Engineers campground there. We drove around through the campground to get an idea of the campsites and their location to the lake and the view from the campsite.
The majority of the people staying there were on their way back north after spending the winter in Florida. After driving around for a while, we settled on site #1 in Loop A. It has a good view of the lake and a large grassy area around the site. We had thought about staying there in March, but it was still quite chilly and there was a pretty stiff wind coming off of Lake Seminole.
We looked at the showers and laundry. The showers are quite large and unisex. The laundry consists of 1 washer and 1 dryer at $1 each. Since we'll be coming here directly from Dothan, I'll just do our laundry before we leave there.

Snow in Dothan
The weatherman was right! We had snow in Dothan today. Dothan only gets snow about every 10-12 years, so it is a big deal here.
We probably have about 2 inches of snow on the ground. Of course, we still had to walk Tinker outside and at first he wasn’t too sure about the snow. But by this afternoon he realized that snow can be fun and he had a great time running and playing in the snow.

Change of Travel Plans
We had planned on going to Alaska this year, but we have decided to wait until next year. Our son, Fletcher, is going to join us on the trip to Alaska and he said that next year would be better for him to go. Last year we traveled 15,000 miles (a lot of gas) and it was expensive camping and traveling in Canada (no regrets), so we decided to travel less and stay longer in one place.
Also, our friends Al & Symphony from Collinsville, Alabama and Mike & Gayle from Ozark, Alabama were going to join us on the trip to Alaska with their RVs, but it turns out that they can’t make it either this year.
So Mike & I decided to travel around Florida this summer and visit the state parks there. Mike and I grew up in Florida, but there is a LOT of places there that we haven’t been to. Since we are Florida residents we can stay a the state parks for 1/2 price.
Some of our plans are to visit our son in the Keys, various cousins around the state, and my brother and family in Kissimmee. We plan on staying in the Everglades park for a bit (may only be a few days - it will be summer after all!). We've never been to Busch Gardens in Tampa, there is also the Salvidor Dali Museum, Stephen Foster Folk Center, Cape Canaveral just to name a few places on our list.
