We are just outside Tampa near the intersection of I-4 and I-75 at a gigantic RV dealer and park. The park has everyyhing you could want in an RV park, including free breakfast and lunch. Because of an introductory offer for first time visitors, the stay was free, my favorite part. On Valenti

February 13, 2008
Yesterday we drove to Orange Lake and the Grand Lake Golf & RV Resort between Gainesville and Ocala. A very nice place with very large lots and all the amenities. Alesa used the exercise room this morning and came back full of joy. A little less joy might be good. We were expecting storms

We got to the Tallahassee RV park yesterday afternoon. It is a very nice park just off I-10 and is managed by a prison chaplain from New Zealand. Alesa finally got to a Publix so she just had to buy a key lime pie. Today we went downtown and visited the Florida History Museum, walked around th

This morning we walked around the park and visited with people. Most of them are here for a month or more and consider this a hidden jewel with all the goodies the south waterfront has to offer less the traffic and the crowds. After lunch we drove to Fairhope and down the east side of Mobile Ba

Today was another beautiful sunny day getting up to above 60. Roni and Denny came down and we drove south of Houma to Cocodrie where the road ends in the delta by the gulf. It was a nice drive through the fishing villages, sportsman camps and summer homes and back up through the wetlands. We s
