Thousand Trails/Orlando

1-8-2012 Today, we got a SLOOOOW start.  We went to eat with several friends at the Smokehouse for our MOD. ribs, fried greens (to die for) and cole slaw!! Helen and Richard Greene and us rode to Camping World and Sam's. By the time we got back to the rig, it was Tebow time in football!! The brocos had a good 1st half and then they let the Steelers come back and tie the score. Into OT they went. Denver got the ball and the first play was a pass from Tebow to a wide receiver for an 80 yard TD for the WIN!!

1-9-2012 We got up VERY early and got dressed for the day at Webster Flea Market.. I bought a new Buxton billfold that is smaller and i can get it into my smaller purse. I bought a purple hand crocheted necklace. I also bought two tubes of Avon moisture therapy hand cream. No Coach purse today. Sorry, Kelly.

We watched the football game for the national championship. Alabama vs LSU. Alabama came away with a BIG win. Roll tide.

Thousand Trails at Orlando/Clermont

1-1-2012- We planned ahead for a wonderful New Year's Day meal: fried crisp lean fat back, black eyed peas, collard greens, cornbread. neither of us knew about the peach pie. left over greens and cornbread from my mother's!! We awoke to see hot air balloons come over the campground. We watched Tebow get beat. that was sad.



looks like it is landing onto the camper!!!

December 30- i feel better this AM, thank God. We visited Jacksonville Beach and the Mayport Naval Air Station. We were impressed with the campground at Mayport. We had our MOD at the Olive Garden. We took Petie back to the dog park and he was alone this time. He still had a good time.

Jacksonville, Florida

December 29, 2011- Bruce had discovered that the seal of our commode was not working, so we stopped by Dick Gore's RV World in Jacksonville to have it fixed before going to the RV Park.The technician was very nice and had it fixed in 30 minutes. I'll bet we were off the road only 1 hour. Bruce was a HAPPY camper. We got on over to Flamingo Lake RV Resort and got set up after getting propane. We rested and then went to Cracker Barrel for our MOD. I checked on the excercise room and it had about 20 machines in it, so i tried a few. I found out quickly that i have been sitting too long. I am out of shape. Bruce and I took Petie to the dog park and Petie had so much fun with 2 shelties, a golden retriever and a beagle. My MOD had not settled too well so it was early to bed for me. 

Great experience at this place



nice pads here
