Back in the Keys!
Well last post we were heading to Alabama and off we went. To the cold and snow! We spent time at the KOA Owners Association meeting, hopefully solving some issues, probably creating some :). We camped at the hotel for a few nights and then went to the old KOA for a few nights.
When it snows in Alabama things go crazy. Even with the talk of upcoming snow, schools closed, flights canceled, offices close early, all before any white shows. During our time there we went to a great concert and saw the Black Eyed Peas! Wow what a show...2 warm up bands, Ludacris was one. Not really my type of music but he was interesting. Something like 15 Prevost buses for the bands. From AL we went back to Florida to get some RV work done. We spent almost a week there but took advantage of the time to get some work done and tour a little more of Orlando and area. From there we went to St Petes KOA for a night and caught up to some old friends who we met at our KOA years ago. http://www.stpetersburgkoa.com/
My hats of to Damon at the KOA with all the changes they have made and the ones underway, the hottub is going to be great. After that we headed off to Sun-n -Fun campground just outside of Sarasota FL for a few days. http://www.sunnfunfl.com/
This is a huge park and it was full. They had a Godzilla water slide that the kids loved and a Spa that Sue loved. Sam and Cooper enjoyed the massive dog park, and I enjoyed the bar with live entertainment.
From there we went to a small town called Everglades City Florida and stayed at one of the nicest parks we have ever seen. The builder wanted to create a unique Resort that would sell the lots. Obviously with the economy the have not sold great and being $650,000 probably does not help either I am sure. This resort had a building to kill for with a spa, theater with the coolest chairs, billard room, even a lighthouse. http://www.evergladesisle.com
All the roads were interlocking brick and with the greatest landscaping. It was on the water and each site had a dock. I will post some pics soon.
We stayed there 5 nights and then off to the keys again. We will hopefully get some work done and rest at the same time. On the deck is our diving test to finish and also entertain a few of Sues relatives for a few days. The weather here is cool for the keys- around 17c. Not hot but no snow.
Talk to you all soon.
