ℹ️ About this episode:
This week on LivinRVision, we leave Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores, Alabama and take you to Destin, Florida to camp and work by the beach! But first, we make a stop at a very unique place called the Flora-Bama. You might be thinking like we were and wondering, “is really worth a stop?” It is!
Next, we make a spontaneous stop at another unique place that we have driven by in the past. We were SO glad we stopped this time!

I’m 77 with a lot of time on my hands…watch a lot TH-cam. Only 2 sights I can recommend, yours and “A Few Acres Farm”. I caught up with you folks a yr ago. After binge watching old shows, I’m try to wean myself to a weekly video regimen…
🧡😊🤓
Love this place.
i think i'm going backwards on the videos lol you gus make me laugh on my so not good days stay safe and ty for sharing :)
🧡😊🤓
You have too much fun! The boat parade was like South Padre Island. You must love the view at the beach when working. Michelle should have showed her great arm at the dive.😎🤓🥸
Not sure where you are in your travels now but if you are a lover of quilts then April 24-27 in Paducah,KY is the international quilt show at Schroeder Expo Center. It’s a must see! Happy travels! 🤗❤️
Thanks for sharing 🧡
I never miss work and I tried to go to work today, but with the storm is coming at kicked up all this pollution so with my lung disease, I couldn’t go to work very long, so I’m home binge watching some more of your shows
We sure hope you start feeling better very soon 🧡
@@LivinRVision thanks
My theme is BAR NONE, or maybe bar just a few. Gotta try new things if the bars align. I loved the Florida ocean views. Thanks for the great video. Let's hear it for the FOODIES that love adventure!
Loved seeing Destin. Spent a lot of time there with my daughters growing up. Brings back many happy memories. Back then it was mostly beach and small, on beach, eateries. Thank you!
Nice to see Henderson Beach State Park again. It's been almost 20 years. I liked the natural beauty of the place. I love Fort Desoto too.
I live where you vacation! So glad you got to experience my home. I wouldn’t move away if someone tried to pay me. You should go a little further down to 30A next time❤
Fort Walton Beach is our favorite!! 🙌♥️
Hubby was stationed there in his Air Force days. So jealous you’re staying at Henderson! We so enjoy your videos and I love your sense of humor Brian!! Looking forward to next week…
Church in a BAR. Praise his name. Thanks for sharing
Love this video. Beautiful footage. You both have a great sense of humor. My goal is too walk away from regular life and take our six...four leggeds across the country.
You’re in my neck of the woods now. Pensacola. Hope you enjoyed our beaches
One of your very best videos! That HWVillage parade was really a great…and that white beach …wow! What freedom when you can walk there almost alone.
Love your “snow” and the crystal clear water! Just beautiful! Thank you for a great video!
State Parks in Florida are beautiful...
Brian..... ya can't make that Crap up!!!🤣🤣🤣 ..... Only in America can you get the good book and a shot!! Plus the view to die for!!
Those sunset shots were stunning!
That was a fun blog. Nice job , thanks for sharing...
I look forward to your videos every Saturday. Your videos are entertaining, and educational. Thank you for the great content.
Cut looks great 👍🏻 Loved the light parade they do that on Coronado all the time 🥰🥰 Safe Travels guys ❤🤍💙
I love that you all post on Saturday mornings. It seems like all of the other TH-camrs I watch post on Sunday nights (and that’s PBS night in our house - haha). That beach really helped relieve some of the misery of this bronchitis I’ve been battling for two weeks. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you start feeling better!
We loved staying at Henderson state park! The beach is beautiful! Hated to leave. Hope you are enjoying the Florida weather! See you at the Tampa show! Safe travels ❤️.
Hey you guys going to try Quartzsite Arizona you have the perfect rv for that, good video we had not been there yet. Thanks 👍🏝
Des Ty in is one of my most favorite beaches! ❤❤
Drink!!!!! Did Michelle say DRINK!!!!
Love the music!!
We loved Destin and Henderson State Park. Great area that we hope to return to.
Oh you guys 🤦🏼♀️! So glad you got to experience the legendary Flora-Bama Roadhouse. It is WORLD famous with lots of history. Also multiple run ins with hurricanes. Did you know it once was a campers haven?
NFL QB, Kenny Stabler (also ‘bama QB), dubbed it the best watering hole in the country.
Did not know that. Thanks for sharing!
Church in a bar makes sense. Gives a new meaning to the "Holy Spirit".
Always enjoy your videos. As always...safe travels. Enjoy.
Sweet memories of the gulf coast with my son & daughter ! Thanks for taking us along~ We just looped from the ATL (mom & grands ) down to Apopka/Ormond Beach, up to St Augustine and planning for the RV show. Hope to see y'all there !
So much good stuff in this video to comment onto much.I loved the dive bar and the state park and your jokes.Pismo Paul
Brian, you movie clip inserts where on point this week! lol I've missed them dearly ;) See ya' next week!
Thank you! 🧡
We love Henderson Beach State Park. There are some great local restaurants to try out. One of our favorites is, Harbor Docks, great seafood.-John
Thanks for the suggestion. 👍🏻 We’ll add that restaurant to our list and hopefully make it back there sometime to check it out!
Awesome video as always Brian & Michelle!!! 👍👍 ✌
Enjoyed this episode
And that’s a beauty of van raving. Safe travel
The first part of this video made me feel very dizzy. And I’m not even blonde. Got better after that. Appreciate you continuing dating your video travels.
My husband and I were down there a few days before you - we were at Okaloosa Island. We have camped at Henderson Beach state park as well. We love that place! I'm glad I found your channel, I enjoyed following along with you.
I live in Destin. Henderson Beach is nice but very competitive if you are trying to get an RV site. While beautiful and very close the beach, none of the sites of sewer. Go a bit further and stay at TopSail or Grayson Beach. I think they are beautiful beaches/State RV parks with full hookups for RVers and walking distance to the beach. From either it’s a nice bike ride on a path to restaurants and shopping. In fact, once a year we stay at TopSail with our teardrop to just relax. Safe travels
Thanks! We have heard a lot about those two places but oddly enough at that the time Henderson was all we could get.
Love watching your antics
I was at Henderson State Park yesterday, love the place.. I live just north of there, missed you guys. Hope you enjoyed your stay, love your channel!!!
Wow Interesting. I live in Panama City Beach Fl. @ 45 min from Destin. My Son is the GM of Margeritaville At the one you ate at. PBC BEACHES ARE DONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WHITE BEACHES IN FL ❤❤❤❤❤❤ BEEN HERE 20 years
Oh wow, that would of been great to have met your son! Maybe next time.
Beautiful area! 🧡😊🤓
Living down the road from Palm Springs one of your favorites we think wow nice beaches in Florida!🌊
Such an awesome trip you guys. We were just in Gulf Shores. With our fur baby so couldn’t stop at these fabulous places. Our next trip will be following in your foot steps. Love this video! WI here!
Oh my gosh. You two Crack me up!
While you are on the Gulf beaches, you must try the Royal Red Shrimp. Extra large shrimp that tastes like lobster.
Oysters served many ways you two! I ate 72 my first night at Perdido Key! Should be there for the fish toss from state to state!
Love all y’all’s videos. We have a 5th wheel but are seriously considering doing what y’all are doing. Great music as well. Safe travels.
Brian, I don’t know how you decide on what music to use to accompany your videos, but your choices definitely make your videos even more entertaining. Every week we watch your new video, we are more intrigued by the Grech Strada Ion, but I’m afraid the price point will force us to keep our class A diesel pusher. We do enjoy the conveniences of the extra living space, having a shower separated from the sink and toilet, a residential refrigerator with ice maker, washer and dryer, etc., that we have with our class A.
I have to disagree with the music during the boat parade. It was a bit much.
@harterbob Thanks. It’s tough though when you only have little time to complete the video and can’t always find something that I really am looking for and have to settle.
Nothing wrong with liking your Class A more, we all buy what works best for us all and not all of us are looking for the same creature comforts. Many are looking more for the ease of travel, especially those of us that still work remotely and want less worries. Thanks again.
@rodneybrown2697 I agree as well Rodney. I didn’t want to use the song but I was running out of time and wasting way too much time trying to find what I was looking for. If you have the number of clips and do as much editing as I do in a 4 to 5 day period, finding the proper music isn’t always as easy as you may think. But thanks for your feedback.
Adding Destin, FL to my list. Thanks for your video. Always fun!!!
Rt 98 across and down the Armpit is a spectacular drive!!! Pops n I just did that in late October.... and stayed in Ft. Desoto campgrounds also!! What a trip that was!!
Hi guys! My husband and I discovered your channel a few weeks ago; we love it! After watching this episode, I wanted to drop an idea in case it’s helpful. I watch a channel called Mari Life and she has a tent that is stored inside a contraption on the top side of her vehicle. I’ve seen tables and chairs on her channel and others, that are assembled, that are kept in their own zipped-up bag, for storage. Even a fold out, assembled, fire pit.
The tent becomes an extension of her vehicle, whether it be from the back or the side of the vehicle.
It seems like a great way to have a little extra space, whether it be just for hanging out, or for working, etc.
Anyway, y’all are fabulous and we love your content.
My husband and I are wanting to head out on the road in a couple of years, and y’all are paving the way for that. 🙂❤
Hi and welcome to our channel! 🧡 Thanks for the suggestion! Since we fulltime and have a lot of stuff with us, we don’t have much room to store anything else. 😂 We actually do have some camping chairs and a little table that fold up pretty small. We get them out occasionally. 😉
Bummer, we missed you at Fort DeSoto, we will be there the week of the Tampa show.
I seen that jelly fish. Or at least it looked like one. Yikes! Destin is such a beautiful place. The beach there is so much nicer than Cocoa Beach 's actual beach. Definitely differences in coast's. Great video. 👍
Yep that was a jelly fish! We were not sure if it was alive or not but did NOT want to find out! 😂 Yes, the beaches on the gulf side are prettier with white sand than the eastern Atlantic side.
Thank you for a GREAT video! I saved it to my favorites. Tess snd I are looking forward to meeting and hanging out with you. We’re coming to the RV show and we hope to merry you guys soon.
Nice! We also enjoyed our stay in the Destin area.
Great video. Thanks, we enjoy your content.
That was fun guys!
Looks like a great place. You had us at eat!!
Love Henderson! We spent Christmas 2021 there!
Love this. Can’t wait to see your Ft. DeSoto visit. We’ve visited and really liked it, though that was several years ago.
I have referred a couple of folks to your channel that are just starting this type of adventure, or are considering it.
Be well. Safe safe. See you next week.
Beautiful life
Great video guys 🎉
Thank you for sharing another great video! 🙏🙏🙌🙌
Wonderful video. New sub. Will be in Destin in March for a weekend. Can't wait.
Love you both, you brighten our weeks. We’re 70 and starting to camp 6 months of the year between our suburban and a tent ! Arrr! But life is short , let’s do something crazy. Can you tell us when/time etc you’ll be at the Tampa rv show please??? would love
to say hi. Must visit that state park on our travels.
We’ll be having our Meet & Greets at the GrechRV booth outside on the Midway on Thurs. Jan. 19th from 1-3p and on Sat. Jan. 21st from 1-3p.
Hope to see ya there!
Nice Vlog
Makes me miss LA!!!
Thanks for sharing! Loved the Harbor Walk Village! Definitely going to add that to our list of places to go. Happy New Year!!
About 12 years ago I was down there for a year. Also spent our 25th anniversary there. Across the street from Harbor Walk is a strip mall with an Irish bar/restaurant. On that corner is a gas station. If you go down that road a block behind the gas station and strip mall, there is a hidden away shack of a restaurant with a long pier an it has the best fish (catch of day) sandwiches and tacos. Look for it the next time you pass through and you won't be disappointed.
Know exactly where you are talking about. We drove through that strip mall and gas station to turn around. Thanks for the suggestion. 👍🏻😊🤓
💕 Love the do Michelle!
Thank you! 🤓
Enjoy.
Awe we missed seeing y’all. We spent Christmas in our Beach house this year. In Panama City Beach. Y’all got lucky because the forecast was 21 degrees 🥶
😱🥶
Wish we were in Florida right now as we were supposed to be.
We love the Flora Bama and Gulf Shores in general! Did ya'll try the Bushwacker? It's the best!!!!
Have a little too much caffeine Brian?? Got dizzy on some of the video 😵💫🥴😂 First time I’ve heard of Floribama!
😂 🤪
We’ll be in that area in April!
Florida beach sounds just right now.ahhhh
I had lived in St Augustine for a few years and was at the beach almost every day, and the fresh seafood shop once or twice a week.
Sounds wonderful!!
@@LivinRVision the salt in the air as you wake up am$ seafood fresh off the boats. Was great.
Great video. Love that area. Henderson SP sites looked much nicer than Gulf Shores SP. Check out the areas along 30A.
If you ever come through Apalachicola, Florida. My Dad and Brother own a beautiful rv park on the Bay called Coastline RV resort and Campground. Check it out Beautiful park and outstanding bathhouses.
🧡😊🤓
Going to church at a bar pretty much sums up the south! Go Dawgs!
Oh we can't wait to get our Strada and start exploring! Want to order the Disco-bed from your Amazon store and wondered if only the one color was available? Want ya'll to get a bit of commission. 🙂
Thanks! There are other color/design options for the Disco-bed. You should be able to see them once you click the link to it. 😊🤓
I’m coming to Tampa show Friday. Hope I see you out and about. Can’t make your “meet ups”. Thanks for the vids
Hopefully we’ll see you!!
I really like that you take your van to different places during the day to work. I work full time and we have been experimenting with short trips ( 2 to 3 weeks ) with me working from the RV. We normally park for a week and travel on the weekends. So far we have had some beautiful sites but i worry about going longer and feeling stuck inside the RV. Did you have transition problems when you went full time and still working full time.
We really didn’t. We still had a place to work and was excited for the weekends to come.
Nice editing during this segment… 12:12
Another great video! Which tools do you use to find things to do and see?
Google, Maps and word of mouth. 😊🤓
Sorry you two. Don’t let the end of the day ruin your whole weekend. Did you get to see any of the Fort area at Ft. DeSoto? If not maybe next trip down. Have a great week.
We had driven through Ft. Desoto campground and also the Fort last year and did a video about it.
Lovely video again. I’m not a fan of Florida weather which is why I don’t visit there as well as bugs. However, you showed some fun places. I’ve got a question regarding the van, do you carry a spare tire? I’m curious as my Pleasure Way does not.
I agree about the muggy weather in the summer and the bugs year round. It does not but there is a place for one underneath.
How far in advance did you have to reserve a spot at Henderson Beach State Park? Thank you for sharing!
We luckily made the reservation just a couple weeks in advance. It was very full and we “would” of had to change sites if we stayed, which is no big deal for us in a small rig that has hardly nothing to tear down. Always check, you never know. 👍🏻
Why I wouldn’t like a Class B is you’re using all the public bathrooms, not your own to conserve tank levels. Always a compromise on rigs igetit. but Deal breaker 4 me.Flora-Bama interesting place👍 Hendersen park beautiful.
Actually no, we don’t “always” use public/campground bathrooms. We only do on occasion. Michelle likes to occasionally use them ONLY when they are in decent condition and we are parked close, simply for more room. In fact, I used to use them on occasion with our Class A and our Airstream simply to get my shower finished while she was in the shower. Sounds like you may not have watched many of our videos from the past, although…we don’t show every single day of our lives on video.
Agree, Henderson State Park and Campground is very beautiful. 👍🏻😊🤓
You probably should have stopped at Joe Patti. You passed it at 7:33. Maybe next time.
Hi guys! Love the channel, been watching since the beginning. Since you have the A, it seems you all move to places more instead of staying in one place for a week or longer like you used to do. Is there a reason you all don’t stay longer in places anymore?
It’s been mainly because of the areas we were trying to get to faster. We kinda explained that traveling from Iowa to the West Coast. We had a lot of ground to cover and places we wanted to see before we got to the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque. Then we were making our way to Florida in time for our reservations. Now we are back to staying at our Thousand Trails membership parks longer in Florida.
Where is the sunshine?
😀 Thanks for the nice insights into Destin and the region. I was wondering if your method for choosing final destinations and stops in between that are worth your time, has changed over time. Do you pay for more sophisticated software or you just use free ones, etc
We just research the web, Google maps and sometimes viewer suggestions.
You’re a fun couple to watch
Wait… did you just call the Florabama a “dive bar”????
Well… it is…. Carry on!
😂🤣😅
What wrong with church in a bar!
👉🚐👍👋
