Our second camping experience was an hour from Gainesville at Gold Head State Park. We stayed one night and had to bring our own firewood.
Gold Head State Park Camping
Timeline
Camping Morrow Mountain North Carolina
We camped for two nights at Morrow Mountain State Park in North Carolina and hiked the Fall Mountain Trail. We then picked up Mom and Grandma Sunday morning from Virginia (Mike’s Aunts house) to bring them home. We had to strap our camping gear in a roof bag on the top of the car to make room for everything!
Kat Changes Jobs
Kathleen decided she was ready to experience a wider variety of things at work. She started a new job at the same hospital in the central staffing office. She gets to work in all the ICU’s and Emergency Department. She is nervous but excited to see new things and to meet new people.
Hurricane Irma
We waited all week for hurricane Irma as it slowed before hitting landfall. It was bigger and stronger than Andrew, but it weakened over the west coast of Florida. Dad’s house was flooded because of all the rain and I had to help out at 4am to dig out the drainage ditch.
Total Eclipse of the Sun 2017
We drove to Mr. Wright’s house to visit and also to see the eclipse. He happened to live in the totality zone which was a amazing experience. We had the dark glasses and experienced about two minutes of darkness!
