Pier, Gulf and Beaches






Venice is a beautiful place to visit. Carl and I really like this area. Easy to get around, no travel congestion.

March 5 Venice Pier







We went out and about in our Tracker and found the Venice Fishing Pier fun place.

I watched a guy catch a small shark on his fishing pole. I watched a guy whittle as he fished.

It was a beautiful day on the beach, too! We did not stay on the beach because Carl would be burned to a crisp in this hot sun!

We enjoyed the pool and hot tub this afternoon and met a couple gals and we clicked! We hope to meet at the pool again soon, but it seems everyone is busy!

March 4 Towing to Venice, Florida




We headed out today for Venice, Florida to an Encore RVPark, called Rambler's Rest.

First time towing a car! Funny thing the car followed us to Venice without a problem! This is a hugh park with many Park Model trailers with many people stay here for 6 months. A very nice park. However, here I am again with "tengo internet service". Slow, slow that's all I can say.

March 3 visit with Tony and Alberta















Carl and Tony



We met these wonderful people at Boyd's RV Park in Key West. Then we met them again at Everglades National Park. But, the biggest surprise was last Friday they showed up at Rally Park and they parked them right behind us! They stayed 2 nights and then went to Hillsborough State Park 10 miles from us. So we went and visited with them today. We wanted to check out he park in case we want to go there sometime. It is a very nice park, but their pool isn't ready, not until April 1. I like my heated pool and hot tub here at Rally Park!

Breakfast at Lazy Days"Cafe"


This is a typical breakfast we are served Monday through Saturday! Then we get lunch too!
This a very nice RV Park. I would recommend this place to anyone!

Frost on March 3







Really there is ice on the cars and grass this morning! So, we are cold but not as cold as Michigan!

Where have we been?


Just an update to let everyone know we are still going strong here in Florida.


Weather update: It is cold here!
Hot tub update: Haven't been there for two days!
We went out on our own in our own car today and we made it back to our motor home~! We went to Walmart and Sam's Club. We did take the GPS!
We usually go to the hot tub about now (i.e. 8:00 pm) but not to night, it is a little bit chilly! We have the little heater going and it is still chilly in here!
Rick honored us on his blog on the 27th! We were married 38 years on the 27th! The blog is really cute. The picture above is what he did. We actually are not in a barn. Rick uses photo shop, looks like he is pretty darn good at it!
Just read the Traverse City Record Eagle online that the bay has froze over! The last time it froze over was in 2003! Boy, to think I was there in 2003! This morning I heard it as -5 in the Elk Rapids area. That is pretty darn cold. So, I guess I shouldn't complain when it is 40 degrees here in Florida.
Have a good night.
