On the road again!

We left Stone Mountain on Saturday after enjoying breakfast with the Robinsons.  It felt good to be on the road again.  It felt so good that we drove all the way to Alliance Coach in Wildwood, Florida, where we were scheduled for annual maintenance on our motorhome on Monday.  We enjoyed relaxing on Sunday and even watched the Daytona 500.

We went over with our service advisor at Alliance Coach everything we wanted to be serviced on Monday morning and by Monday evening, all the service work on the engine, transmission, chassis and generator had been completed.  The only thing left to be done was fixing the floor on the rear driver's side slide-out.  Thankfully, they will be able to fix this floor by just installing a metal strip and extra caulking and not have to completely replace the floor like they had to do on the front slide-out last fall.

On Monday evening, we decided to go to Olive Garden for their salad and to split a spaghetti dinner before going to Wal-mart to get some groceries.  When we left Olive Garden, we noticed this cute little Volkswagen Beetle decorated to look like a mouse...ears, tail and all.


On Tuesday, the service tech installed the metal strips under the rear D/S slide-out and applied new caulking but we had to wait until Wednesday to leave to allow enough time for the caulking to cure out.  On Wednesday morning, we settled up with Alliance and then decided to get the motorhome washed by a RV wash & wax company on site.  It really needed it after sitting under a tree (and bird poop) in San Antonio for over a month plus all the weather.  By 11 am, we had the car hooked up and were ready to go.

We talked about where to go and decided to go back to Themeworld RV Resort where we have gone the past three years in Davenport, Florida.  That gets us a little closer to Pine Island where we are scheduled to be on Sunday plus we might just take a trip to Parkesdale Farmers Market for some strawberry shortcake.  :)  We got site #191 which is probably one of the best sites we have ever gotten here because it is level and has a little more room between the sites.


After we got all set up, we decided to go to Sonny's for lupper.  We had not had Sonny's since we were in Pensacola and it tasted pretty good.  We even tried their redneck eggrolls which were o.k. but I think we will stick with the pulled pork sandwiches.

I have been fighting a cold ever since we left Atlanta.  I don't really feel all that bad.  I just have to blow my nose a lot (which makes me look like Rudolph) and a little bit of a cough at night.  Mainly, it's just annoying.  The weather was so nice that I just had to get out and enjoy it despite my cold. Chuck and I walked around the campground a couple of times...


...and enjoyed a nice sunset.


The weather was so nice that we sat outside for a little while after we got back to the camper to watch the remaining colors of the sunset...


and look up at...


...the moon and the emerging night sky.


I'm always amazed by how the camera can bring up the craters on the moon.


I think Themeworld will be a nice place to call home for a few days and at Passport America rates, that makes it even nicer.  :)
