Flagler Beach

Bulow Plantation RV Park is lovely. The kind of place I could stay a long time. However, at over $900 per month in season, it isn't a place I will stay for very long.

This is a beautiful area. Our site is large and shady. There is a big field with trees for Traveling Dog to run and play.

We went over to Clermont one day to have lunch and visit with my sister and b-i-l. It was a really good day for us.

Another day we went to the Farmer's Market in Flagler Beach. What fun! All kinds of good veggies and fruit. I could have spent more money, but it would mean more cooking (boo, hiss). What we did buy tasted wonderful. We had TD with us and could barely walk 5 steps without someone stopping us to pet him. He was a good pup and endured it all with good grace.

Another day we went right next door to the Bulow Plantation Ruins. It was a large and prosperous plantation until the Second Seminole War. In 1836, most of it then was burned to the ground. The only actual ruins are at the Sugar Mill, which was a really big operation. The walk thru the woods to the sugar mill, spring house and well was beautiful. Even there we had people stopping us to pet TD. There is a dock at Bulow Creek and canoes can be rented there. Since TD is not a water dog, we didn't rent (good an excuse as any, right?).

One morning there was free coffee and donuts at the activity building, so we went. We met a number of nice people who could tell us lots about the area and also interesting things about where they were from originally.

All in all, it was a great week - Except that Sheila, Michael and Mary didn't get a chance to come visit us.

God Bless
