Moving North - No Swimming

When we got up this morning everything outside was soaked. It is so humid and warm here it looked like it had rained.

We started on our journey north today moving to Mims, Florida which is right by the Kennedy Space Centre. We stopped along the way and had the axels looked at by American Frame and Axle because the trailer was not tracking well. Some days are better than others and we had a not so good one the other day (no bad days). I was sick and we set up in the wrong campsite. We moved 3 spots over to our campsite but forgot to take out the wheel chocks. This pushed the axels apart and the trailer started pushing the back end of the truck around. The trailer now follows the truck and even in the wind it tracked well.

Today was our warmest day yet (another great day - sandals and shorts) and is just now starting to cool off. The air conditioning has been running steady during the day for the last couple of days. The place we are staying has a pool but it is closed, they also have a pond but swimming is not recommended because of the alligators.

Just after we set up we saw a rocket launch - here is the information from the Kennedy Space Centre:
