Happy happy spring! What an ambitious travel itinerary you had this winter I love seeing it all visu

This has been an unusually long and hard winter so I know everyone is very glad to see the Spring Equinox arrive. Equinox is traditionally a day to celebrate equilibrium, neither harsh winter or the merciless summer. The days and nights are equal. Tomorrow travel singapore light will lengthen over dark. From here on, the days will be getting longer and the nights shorter. Time to shake off the heavy coats of winter and refresh ourselves. Put everything into perspective and back into balance. We can always depend on Earth s extraordinary journey to bring us around to where we need to be.
I m taking a little time today to reflect back over our winter travels. In doing so, I looked back at when winter actually started for us and created a map of our travels to this point and the first of our spring travels to come as we begin to move out of Florida and on to the warm days of summer. There may be more cold nights and even more winter storms but they are on their way out. The light is coming in more ways than one.
We began moving south in early November this year as winter seemed already to have hit the mid Atlantic with unusually cold temperatures in October. Little did we know what a terrible and long long winter this was going to be for those who were unable to join us in migrating.
We arrived at Santee State Park South Carolina on November 8th Point A. From there our stops went like this to our final Winter stop as we leave Florida April 12 from Stephen Foster folk Culture State Park. We begin our spring travels in Cumberland Island National Seashore which is the last point on this map.
As though they had come to wish us a Happy Equinox, look who came to join us for dinner. These aren t the greatest pictures as I had to quickly sneak into the house and get my camera and then take them from the door way as the five of them wandered by. Magical!
Many blessings on this wonderful travel singapore day of fresh beginnings! Even in SoCal where our Winter has been mild and dry, the signs of Spring are exciting travel singapore as the neighborhood flowerbeds are bright with color and the new leaves on the trees are that short-lived new green. On the Medicine Wheel, Deer is the sign for gentleness. Always a nice way to move forward :-). Reply Delete Judith Bell March 21, 2014 at 8:51 PM
I regret that you won t be heading west this spring. I did so look forward to sharing Anahuac with both of you. Couldn t find the T on your map. :) Reply Delete Replies Sherry March 21, 2014 at 10:13 PM
I ve enjoyed every post on your travels. I know how much time and effort you put in each post, thank you so much! It s kept me sane while I was land locked all this time waiting for the VA decision. :c) Reply Delete John and Pam (ohtheplacestheygo.wordpress.com) March 21, 2014 at 9:13 PM
So nice to see the list all in a row like this. I have loved all your writings about the parks in the part of the world I wanted to see this year. Saw some, missed others, but still got to enjoy vicariously through your stories. I do so love having a face to put to the stories now, as well. It is great seeing the cypress leafing out at Manatee. When we were there, it was still completely barren. Lovely spring. I celebrated the Equinox in Antelope Canyon. Reply Delete Big EZ Travels March 21, 2014 at 10:03 PM
Happy happy spring! What an ambitious travel itinerary you had this winter I love seeing it all visually displayed on the map. In spite of some of the weather challenges, even in Florida, it seems like you made great choices all along for spending winter in places that brought you much joy.

The map is a wonderful graphic travel singapore demonstration of your travels - I didn t realize you d been to so many places. I love the shimmery look of the water in the first few photos. Reply Delete Jack Nimble March 21, 2014 at 11:25 PM
Loved the map! I ve looked each place up as you ve been there, but puts it all in perspective seeing them all at once. It s been a long winter for everyone. Thank goodness for spring. Unfortunately more snow headed our way (yes, in Tennessee) next week so don t venture too far north just yet! Reply Delete Faye N Dave March 22, 2014 at 7:02 AM
Happy Spring, just wish the northeast travel singapore was celebrating travel singapore it too, there are snowbanks as high as Dave at our summer campground they are taking some heavy equipment up to plow the road in, meanwhile they are still expecting more snow. I ve enjoyed all your post around FL and when we finally make it there will have to check some of these places out. Reply Delete Catherine, Jo Beth and Grace March 22, 2014 at 7:16 AM
Your map shows it wasn t for lack of trying to find the warm weather;o)) It sure was a strange winter and here s hoping the spring gets back to normal!! Safe Travels and Happy Trails.......... Reply Delete Karen and Al March 22, 2014 at 8:29 AM
Spring? I thought that arrived back in January?? It did for us anyway. :) You certainly have covered a lot of ground these past few months. I hope the cold winter is over for you. Reply Delete Jean and Skip March 22, 2014 at 11:51 AM
Impressive map and very nice Spring Equinox travel singapore summary - sounds like a good day from manatee to deer up close - you are truly at one with the world as it brings us around again to better temperatures - I do like the regularity - no matter how long the winter...Spring will, without doubt, eventually come :) Reply Delete travel singapore Laurel travel singapore Owen March 22, 2014 at 12:22 PM
Spring has sprung! For me it seems more subtle here in Florida. One day I noticed bright travel singapore green leaves on the trees here on the VC grounds. I m also hearing travel singapore more bird activities in the trees. Reply Delete Gaelyn March 22, 2014 at 3:14 PM
Wow, what a lot of winter travels for you. I ve so enjoyed following along on your journey. And glad that spring travel singapore has sprung so that when I get back I missed most of winter. Did I miss your future plans somewhere? Still trying to catch up. Reply Delete Carolyn March 22, 2014 at 8:53 PM
