On Sunday Jan 28, we drive from New Hampshire to Bar Harbor RV Park, a little outside of Baltimore. It’s unseasonably warm, and rainy. Our house in New Hampshire has gone on the market and there is an open house going on today. We get 18 people at the open house! Will we get an offer soon? I hope so.
This is a quiet park on a river that adjoins Chesapeake Bay. I love having the RV in the evening after a long drive, so quiet and peaceful.
On Monday Jan 29 we have a long drive from Baltimore to Hilton Head; it rains off and on all day. Late in the afternoon Cosmo starts panting. We finally pull over on the highway and stop and let him out thinking he might need to poop. Instead he pees for a really really long time. This is the second time this has happened to him. It also happened a few night ago. Lee had to get up with him in the middle of the night because he was pacing and panting on the bed. And apparently it happened when the dogs were at Diane’s and Dennis was at work. She could see them on the security camera and he was panting so she had her daughter come and let him out. Poor baby! He’s not that old so I don’t know what, if anything, could be wrong.
Later on while driving we get a call from our realtor. We have an offer on our house and it’s a good one, $10,000 over the asking price! We think about it for the evening and the next morning we accept. Now if only the boat would sell.
Lee sets up the RV in the dark, while I walk the dogs. We have gyros for dinner. It’s a late night, almost 11 when I finally go to bed.
Tuesday Jan 30 is our day to hang out in Hilton Head. This is such a nice RV park, but it’s chilly today, 40’s, with a high of only 50. It’s going down in the 30’s tonight.
I go for a longish run today, about 8.5 miles with intervals. I have Lee drive me to a bike path. It’s a nice run, very flat, and windy. I only get a little lost, trying to find a trail that doesn’t seem to exist but other than that it’s great.
Later we take the dogs to a nice dog park. They run around, stretching their legs, sniffing and playing with the other dogs that are all well behaved and friendly. Heather and Harper chase balls, Cosmo puts his mark on every tree.
That evening we go to the Sunrise Grille for dinner. That’s one of the amazing things about this park, it actually has a great restaurant too! We both get cocktails. We split a champagne basil salad. I get the mahi-mahi special, Lee gets the scallops. It’s all delish!
On Weds Jan 31 it’s onward through Georgia and into Florida. This is a much shorter day, only about 5 hours. We are routed a new way, through a wildlife refuge with signs warning of bears, not that we see any, but still!
We are staying at the Grand Oaks RV Resort and equestrian center again. We stayed here last year too. It’s in the 60’s, we can actually sit outside for awhile before going to meet Mimi and Sel for dinner.

In the morning I run 6 miles all over this huge facility with hardly any backtracking. I see horses, farm workers, barns. A young dog that is excited to see me comes out from behind a building and comes along on my run, until it’s owner calls it back.

We drive to the storage facility for the RV, stuff everything in the truck and drive the rest of the way to Safety Harbor. Yay! The house looks the same. There have been some changes in the town however, lots of new houses, rehabs; things look nice. We unpack, go to Whistle Stop for dinner and fall into bed.
