Good Bye Florida, Hello Georgia

After 8 1/2 wonderful weeks in Florida visiting family and friends, today was moving day. We are now on the shores of Lake Oconee in Greensboro, GA. We set up and Mom got into the Christmas spirit so she and Dad hung icicle lights on our trailer. Its funny that we had to leave Florida and come to Georgia to get warmer temperatures. It was at freezing when we left Florida this morning. While we are here, we plan to visit with cousin Heather and her family, husband Ken and their children, my buddies, Emma and David. Mom also has us scheduled to do some sightseeing in Atlanta. Dad wants to go to Eatonton and see the Uncle Remus cabin. Stay tuned for updates on our Georgia activities......

Suwannee Christmas Lights

These are some pictures of the Christmas lights at the Spirit of the Suwannee RV Park. They advertise 5 million lights but we think that is a conservative estimate. It is a fantastic Christmas light display and I am glad we were able to see it.

Long Day Getting Back To The Suwannee

This morning we left Wauchula, FL, bright and early, headed back to the Suwannee River. BUT...We had to make a stop at Camping World in Tampa to replace a tire on the trailer. As luck would have it, Camping World didn't have the correct tire in stock so they had to get their distributor to deliver one. The tire was delivered as all of the techs were going to lunch. After spending 5 hours there we were finally on the road to Suwannee. We had to laugh as we were heading North on I-75. We were the only RV going North. All of the other RVs on the road were heading South. The snowbirds are arriving in Florida.

We sure enjoyed our time at the Peace River Resort in Wauchula. I enjoyed my time with my buddies Snickers and Taffy. Mom and Dad enjoyed their time with friends, John & Marcia and to finally meet Judy and Bob in person.

While here at Suwannee, we will be getting to see Christmas lights. The park has a drive-thru Christmas light display with over 5 million Christmas lights. If you all are good, maybe I can get Dad to post some pictures of the lights on the blog.

Take care.....

Happy Thanksgiving

I want to to wish all my friends and family a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful holiday with plenty of turkey. I am practicing eating turkey. Hopefully I will get a big juicy drumstick. Thursday we are going to Seminole, FL to spend Thanksgiving with Aunt Laura (Dad's sister) and Uncle Dave and their poodle, Rusty. I hope Rusty wants to play.

We are really enjoying our time here at Peace River. We have seen Stumpy the alligator, a majestic hawk, some deer and a wild pig. Early this morning, one of the wild pigs broke one of the park's water lines so we were without water for awhile. I am a little sad today as my friends Taffy and Snickers left today. It has been fun playing with them over the past six weeks at the various parks we have been to. Mom and Dad finally got to meet Judy and Bob, who they have corresponded with over the past year. Mom and Judy grew up in Emporium, PA so they have a lot of old times to talk about.

We will be at Peace River for one more week before we head back to the Suwannee River.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAPPY VETERANS' DAY

Mom, Dad and I want to wish a happy Veterans' Day to all our veteran friends and family. We are so very proud of your service to our country.

We are now leaving the hustle and bustle of Orlando and the Disney World area to settle on the quiet banks of the Peace River in Wauchula, Florida. We will be here until December 1st enjoying the peace and quiet. My friends, Taffy and Snickers, are here also so I have them to play with. They are so much fun. Several other new friends we met in Orlando are also here.

Since we sold the trike, Dad has taken over the back room (garage area) of the trailer. Mom calls it,"the man room". Friends tell Dad he needs to get a small refrigerator for "the man room" so he can keep his beverage of choice cold. They even carpeted the room. I guess I want Dad to be comfortable so he will continue to help me with the blog.

This is all for now, so again "Happy Veterans' Day".

Three, Two, One...BLAST OFF!! Mickey Too

Sunday we had a road trip to do some sightseeing. Our first stop was the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral. What a place! I got to see a space shuttle, all the rockets NASA has used in the past and the Astronaut Memorial, honoring all of the astronauts who died doing NASA work. We also visited the Canaveral National Seashore in Titusville, FL. On our ride, I also got to see a four point buck, a wild pig and two alligators. This was a wonderful and exciting day for me. We still have one more week in the Orlando area, so stay tuned.

Today Mom and Dad went to Disney World. I didn't get to go but they did get me a Mickey Mouse chew toy to play with.

Florida Has Gators

I didn't know what an alligator was until Mom and Dad took me to the Alligator Farm in St Augustine, FL. Mom insisted we get a picture with a real live gator. Mom is holding a live 2 1/2 yr old rare white gator. Thank goodness his mouth was taped shut because I didn't want to be his lunch. It is reportedly good luck to touch a white gator.

We are now in the Orlando area for the next three weeks. My friends Taffy and Snickers are also here so I have some friends to play with. Mom and Dad's friends John & Marcia and Matt & Connie are here also. Mom and Dad plan to visit friends who live in the area. We also plan to do some sightseeing but I won't be allowed to visit with Mickey Mouse at Disney World. We will be going to the Kennedy Space Center. That should be a "real blast".

Take care everyone and be safe!
