Dinner at Biscottis

Cheri came to visit for a couple of days on her way home from the Embassy Meetup & Peace Love & Vans. We had a yummy dinner at Biscottis.

Door Mats

Can you tell I like these door mats from World Market?!?

Leaving Ocala a Day Early

Google & Bonnie at the beach with Val.

Mike & Val came by to hang out with Google before we left.

Embassy Meetup at Ocala National Forest Day 3

First time showering out back.

Harley & Leslie

 

Google loved the lake!

 Bonnie found a great stick ...

... & Val found a great bench!

Embassy Meetup at Ocala National Forest Day 2

Google loved hanging out in his Clam screen house ...

... while Bonnie relaxed by her Embassy Cape Cod.

Personal safety workshop. Bonnie (on the right) was paying attention even though it looks like she's sleeping.

Daisy & Harley loved being at the workshop too.

We had a beautiful sunset tonight.

Embassy Meetup at Ocala National Forest

We bumped into Sue & Bob doing their laundry at Love's Truck Stop on our way to the Embassy Meetup in the Mill Dam Campground at Ocala National Forest.

 

My favorite chocolate birthday cakes. My mantra has always been ... if it isn't chocolate, it isn't dessert!

Nice light came thru the trees while Mary shot my birthday portrait. I never had 50+ friends sing Happy Birthday to me before!

Sunset photo shoot with Mary & Google at Mill Dam Lake. Thanks for the pic, Val.

Peace Love & Vans Day 3

It's easy to find our Embassy since it's near the inflated panther.

I had to shoot a lot of frames to get the flags flying right.

Google & Bonnie loved hanging with Val.

Taking down the solar panels of Val & Mike's Cape Cod.

Mary working her magic.

 

Google liked hanging out with David & Daisy.

Peace Love & Vans Day 2

We walked around the grounds to check out some cool vans.

 

 

 

 

 

Guided tour of Withlacoochee Park with George McKenzie, a National Geographic wildlife photographer. 

 

 

 

Everybody gathered under the Talking Tree to hear Terry from Embassy speak about Vanlife relationships.

Mike, Val & Bonnie. I'm not sure they realized they're standing right under the panther's butt.

Glowing lights at the Leafy Lounge.

Peace Love & Vans Day 1

Google helped Mary set up the Kelty.

We had a great setup ... Clam, Kelty & Embassy.

 

After David brushed Google, he & Daisy were snuggling with him.

Early Arrival at Peace Love & Vans

We arrived at Peace Love & Vans at Withlacoochee River Park near Dade City, FL a day early to beat the crowds. They are expecting 600+ vans this year.

Bob was attacked by the inflatable panther!

The panther made it easy for us to find the Birds of a Feather area, where all of the Embassy's are parked.

Riley to Training

I decided it was best to have Riley do an intensive 5 week training program. This is gonna be so tough. I'm gonna miss her so much! I was looking forward to having her go to Peace Love and Vans & the Ocala Embassy Meetup.

Snugglebuddies

Riley had never been in the Embassy before, so we camped in Mary's driveway to see how she liked it. She did great!

Google & Riley are the best snugglebuddies.

Snacks & Dinner with Adam

I thought Adam would love dark chocolate hummus with pretzels. I was right!

We went to Lucille's for dinner.
