Our First Week in Sunny Southern Florida

We are finally wintering in a park where the weather is very warm.  After 10 years, I think we deserve it.  We left home at 3:08am on Sunday morning and made it to Port Charlotte by 11:30am on Monday.  

After spending a couple hundred dollars between WalMart and Publix, we had food in the RV.

Before we could even get everything put away, we found ourselves playing pickleball.  We were rusty, but at least we remembered how to play. We are meeting lots of new people.

There was a happy hour gathering on Tuesday and we met ever more great people.

Mark made us some wooden steps for the RV.  Everyone here makes these, and leaves them in storage until they return the next winter.

The old steps

The new, much sturdier steps.

Yesterday was the Wine and Cheese party.  Everyone brought a snack and the park provided wine, water, and soda.  

We ended up playing Left, Right, Center (a dice game) later.  Mark won the first game ($12).  Nice of him to win quarters so I could do the laundry today.
