We Have Arrived!!!

We have arrived safe and sound at Adelaide Shores RV Resort in Avon Park Florida around 3pm today. It is a gorgeous Rv park. 

Jim and Dee from Tumbleweed are also here. They had us over for a lovely supper. Then they came to our rig for coffee. What a wonderful supper, thanks guys we truly appreciate it. 
It is so nice to arrive and not have to worry about getting supper, after getting setup (especially when you don't have all the groceries on board). Its so nice to be sitting parked with all the slides out and finally totally setup for at least the next month.

We took off for Walmart to pick up a few things upon arrival~plus we needed to find an ATM machine, as the park does not accept credit cards. Just cash or cheque. After shopping I noticed walmart had a cash machine~so I decided to use it versus trying to find a bank. Well suffice to say that was my first mistake. The machine jammed before giving me all the requested cash..and we had to wait beside the machine for over 30 minutes waiting for someone to come and open the machine and unjam it so we could finish our transaction. Thankfully once we found the 'right' person we got the rest of our cash and were on our way. We were only 5 minutes late for supper-but I hate being late for anything..especially supper!! :)

Supper was delicious - salad, home made spaghetti, garlic bread-and cake for desert. Wow did that all hit home with us considering we were travelling most of the day and pretty near starved to death.

Tomorrow will definitely be a rest day for us..and we will take a couple of strolls around the park and check the place out. After we clean the rig inside and out plus the car. We are on a nice end lot with no neighbours on the 'door' side of us...which is great for Lilly and Tucker boy.

Ok am off to check on our 'real' kids then hit the sack..knowing I don't have to get up in the morning and travel-which means I will sleep well tonight!!

Take care all...be safe out there...

Home is where you park it

"May your day be filled with blessings like the sun that lights the sky~and may you always have the courage to spread your wings and fly"

“Life is like a party. You invite a lot of people, some leave early, some stay, some laugh with you, some at you, some didn't come. But in the end, after the fun, there would be a few who would stay and help clean up the mess with you. And most of the time, those were the ones who didn't even make the mess: ) How true this is!!! “

  10. Awesome.

    However.

    How is cleaning the rig inside and out, plus the car, anything remotely close to "a rest day for us"?
    Apparently I don't understand New Brunswick humour.

    What about that whole "retirement thing"? Y'know, when "Every day is Saturday"?

    Just sayin'.
