A Little History

May of 2002 at Hillsborough River State Park

We purchased our 2001 Coleman Sedona Pop-Up new.  Over the years we talked about perhaps changing to a different camper.  However, we have grown very fond of our home away from home.  The subject has not come up in quite a while.

Mostly we visit state parks in Florida.  Our two favorites are Myakka River State Park & Oscar Scherer State Park. For the last two years we have added another weekend trip to Fort Desoto as well.

Also, each summer for 10 straight years we have taken a summer journey to the north Georgia mountains.  We stay at Unicoi State Park and enjoy the amenities there as well as nearby Helen, Georgia.  Our most favorite activity in Helen is tubing down the Chattahoochee River.  At the time of this blog writing, a picture of Jen and the kids and our little camping poodle Baxter is featured on the Cool River Tubing Website.  The picture is in the banner along the top and also a larger version comes up during the slideshow on the main page.  That picture was taken in 2006, the first year that Cool River started taking pictures of the tubers.  Here is the shot:

Claire and Eric have grown up with a love of camping and the outdoors.  We have so many wonderful memories of our times spent together.  We are sure looking forward to this summer trip together.
