Friday was awful. Not only was it cold and rainy but the RV's battery died and it was so dead that we had to call a tow truck to come jump start it. That caused a two hour departure delay and Disney folks were not happy but tuff! We drove 7 miles to the next park which was on the seedy side but they had one site left -- sort of. It was on a hill and we could not get real level. But the manager took pity on us having to set up in the rain and only charged us $10 for the night. Poor John got drenched!
The bright spot of the day was dinner with my mom and step-dad. They and two other couples from St. Charles rent a house in Kissimmee every winter for a month. We had a delightful evening with them, even playing a card game called 3-13. We neither one won but we did share in the pot of dimes and quarters. They invited us to join them Saturday morning for breakfast at the Eagle Lodge. Problems arose when all the street were closed off for a 5K race and we couldn't find the building until we cut thru a parking lot and found ourselves there. Mom and Bernie weren't so lucky and John had to guide them in. Breakfast was worth it though. We had bacon, eggs, fries, grits, toast, biscuits & gravy and coffee for only $10 for both of us.
We moved again to the Lazy Daze Rally Park near Tampa (only an hour drive). It's a very nice park run by the largest RV Dealer in Florida. We spent the afternoon looking at RV's and pointing out all the things we don't like about them.
We had dinner Sat. night with John's VP of Sales, wife, and son. After stopping at two restaurants and finding them full, we ended up at a nice sushi place. We thought they wouldn't like sushi and they thought me might not like sushi or this would have been the first stop!
Today I did laundry and John caught up on computer work. We then rode our bikes about 12 miles looking for a nearby state park and finding only RV and trailer parks. But it was good to get some exercise.
The weather has been very chilly. The weather report noted that temperatures in Florida have been about 20° below normal this month. But it's still better than 23° and snow! Hopefully by the end of the week it will be back in the 60's. At least the sun is shinning!
