Inhale deeply…

We left Florence yesterday and headed south..

We didn't get far.. we stopped to revisit a favorite campground..

Winchester Bay RV park.

siteOur view is water, boats and birds..

But enough of this..

I want to tell you about our day today..

wb (1)

I wanted to inhale today in one huge breath and never let it out!

After being cold for a week or so…..it was nice to feel the warmth of the sun.

It was a beautiful day. A warm 60 degrees..

We drove past the sand dunes loaded with off road vehicle tracks..

This is a very popular area to come with an ATV.
