ATLANTIC BEACH, FL: Car Repairs and Family Time

Our weekend in St. Mary's,GA was a good stopover in our travels.  However, the car was still showing the effects from the apparent vandalism in Raleigh. Friday morning, the right front tire was showing a slow leak and some other things concerned us.  We visited a local Chevrolet dealer and discussed the problems and ordered two new wheel covers as well as a new passenger sun visor, and they put air in the tire.  No appointments were available until this week, however. Saturday morning, we returned to the dealership to pick up the ordered parts, got the tire aired up again and made an appointment for service on November 29.  Sunday night, there was a pot luck supper at the campground and we met some more nice people.

Monday morning, it was time to head further south to Atlantic Beach and Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park Campground in Atlantic Beach, only an hour's drive.  (  http://www.coj.net/departments/parks-and-recreation/recreation-and-community-programming/kathryn-abbey-hanna-park/camping-at-hanna-park.aspx)   This park will be filling up this week and we always reserve for the next year before we leave.  Hank called a Chevy dealer here and made arrangements for them to check out the car over the next couple of days as they had time.

 Our 2nd daughter, Karen, lives about 15 minutes away from Hanna Park, and we headed to her house for dinner that also included Karen's husband, Sean, granddaughter Samantha and grandson, Montgomery.  There was a nice surprise in store as our oldest daughter, Kathy, was also in town for a visit and will be here until tomorrow.

Today we took the HHR to the Chevy dealer, rented a car for the next couple of days and made a drug store run. Although this area took a hit from Hurricane Matthew, most damage has been cleared and the weather is now sunny and cool.

We'll probably be here until Wednesday, November 30.
