It was indeed chilly last night. And it’s equally chilly this morning with 12mph winds and clouds blocking any sunlight..
It’s set to warm up later, but Jana and I rug up to take the dogs for their morning rituals. It has snowed a lot up north and even though the 50-degree weather here feels cold, we know that it’s a lot colder north of us.
As the day progresses, it warms to the mid 60’s. Still relatively cold for the Gulf Coast. We have quickly acclimated to the warmer weather so sweaters are out and beanies are on.
Jack and Ellie are still working to get their assignments completed and just before dusk, we all break to go over to Cullum’s Trail. Jack and Ellie take photos in the fading light and Jana runs while I mountain bike.
Several laps later, we all regroup and head back to the RV Park where there’s a pizza food truck serving pizzas and we decide to do pizza and salad for dinner.
The pizzas turn out to be a bit sad, but combined with a zesty salad we’re all pretty content to kick back and watch some shows.
We have quickly acclimated to the warmer weather so sweaters are out and beanies are on.
