It's too bad that our daughter already signed a contract for her outdoor wedding ceremony at the beautiful Schlitz Audubon Nature Center--we found the perfect place for her outdoor ceremony: South of the Border! It has everything for the perfect wedding!

An outdoor ceremony site:

Don't like that one, how about this one?

And there is even an indoor ceremony site in case of rain. Complete with indoor waterfall!

The ceremony site has everything! The photo opportunities are endless!

There's even a hotel for wedding guests on the property!

Jenny, why didn't we find this venue before you signed the contract?!

Seriously, South of the Border has a really nice campground, and the stores and statues (including a 6' tall sparkplug at the gas pumps) are really a hoot!

As we drive down I-95 we see many down trees and branches (even a few road signs) from yesterday's storms. We feel fortunate that all we had to deal with was heavy rain and wind. No hail damage or any other damage for us. Plus today is a beautiful sunny day, with highs in the 70s and low 80s.

We spend the day driving and stop near Ocala, Florida for the night at Wandering Oaks, a Passport America RV park. Full hook-ups for $12.50/night. Considering the price of diesel is hovering around $4/gallon, we appreciate the cheap RV park.
