Moving Day



This morning we packed up and moved about 4 miles down the street. It seemed like a waste but we already had these reservations booked but had arrived a week early in the area and needed a temporary place to stay. For a week, the RV park we were at was fine. But it had mostly seasonal residents with permanent trailers. Not the "newest" looking RV park, kind of run down, your typical "trailer park" appearance. People were great, though. Our new home-base is called RallyPark and is awesome! It is a 300 site park serving both breakfast and lunch at the clubhouse Cafe (included in our stay). A tram picks you up at the corner stop and takes you there and back. We arrived just in time for lunch, but decided to ride our bikes. Today they served meatloaf, mash potatoes, and green beans. All the pop, ice tea, lemonade, coffee you can drink. No dessert :( Every morning we get a complimentary newspaper, we have 99 stations of cable TV, screened heated pool with Jacuzzi and special rooms with Internet ports, tennis courts and shuffleboard courts. They only allow a maximum stay of 2 weeks to avoid the run down, seasonal, permanent-stay RVs. Therefore, the park has a RESORT atmosphere appearance. Most of the residents have money. The majority of RVs are huge motor homes. I think I counted 3 travel trailers in the park. Again, most of them are in their 70's. We are by far the youngest here.
After lunch we went shopping at Camping World, adjacent to the park, and we won a three-night, four-day stay at a private resort in Orlando! They scheduled us to stay starting Jan 31st. The resort looks great with many amenities and a $50.00 gift card to Camping World. There are many things we would like to buy there to make our "home" more livable.
The past two days Andy and I have been on a Christmas present hunt for a new 20" purple bike for our grand daughter. We have been EVERY WHERE. The girl bikes seem to be sold out! We saw so many of them in the Baltimore area but wanted to wait until we arrived here due to limited space in the truck.
Check out Andy's home-made, real live Christmas wreath. That is our only decoration and probably won't last until Christmas Day due to the high heat and humidity.
