The Tin Zen Den

Yesterday, Ranman and I picked up our new Airstream International Signature in Gulfport, Mississippi. We have admired these icons of American travel for quite some time.
  This is our first experience with an RV.  We tent camped and backpacked in college, and really loved getting out of the city and away from it all.
  There was a 15 minute crash course in backing up the trailer before we pulled it off the lot, and I have to admit,  I was a little scared. We then drove 30 minutes down the highway and are currently in Ocean Springs at Davis Bayou.
   All systems are in working order and Ranman is doing a great job driving around our new home, the Tin Zen Den (TZD). There was a brief moment of nail biting and it's no great surprise that it was when we were backing up into our campsite. I am happy to report that no trees or vehicles were harmed in our maiden voyage!

Camping at the Santa Rosa RV Resort in Navarre, FL

  This place is beautiful! It really makes our portion of the Gulf Islands National Seashore look like a barren wasteland. Don't get me wrong. The national park is great at Ft Pickens, but it pales in comparison to the lushness of the forest and estuary here.  There are resident alligators living in harmony with park visitors that enjoy paddle boarding and cycling. Unfortunately, we did not bring our paddle boards or bikes, but we will next time! The campground is highly  recommended, and the park is worthy of multiple visits.
