Pensacola & Snowball Derby 2013

Although it had rained while we were at Sherling Lake Park in Greenville, we had a pleasant two hour drive with no rain to Pensacola RV Park on Wednesday. 

We were meeting Chuck's uncle and aunt, Donald & Anna, at the Pensacola RV Park so the guys could go to the 2013 Snowball Derby in Pensacola.  We had been assigned sites #52 and #53 which were new sites that had just been completed a few weeks previously.  They were great sites:  long, level and plenty of room between the sites.


Our neighboring camper on the other side was this handsome rooster.

 
 
Soon after Donald and Anna arrived, we went to Sonny's Barbecue for lunch, one of our favorite places to eat when we are in Florida.  It was delicious as usual!
 
Although the weather forecast was predicting a chance of rain just about every day, it didn't rain more than just a sprinkle every day of the Snowball Derby.  We got a few games of corn hole in...
 



...and Chuck "wet a line" around the nearby pond. 



Unfortunately, the fish weren't biting.  I "caught" a picture of this crane...


...and a few remaining little flowers around the pond.


There were some huge trees in the park that reminded us of the big trees with the big, long branches we had seen at the Alamo in San Antonio.



Chuck and Donald enjoyed talking with other racing fans that were down for the Derby.



It was a great (but fast) week.  The guys enjoyed some good racing and we all enjoyed just being together and playing cards and corn hole and eating out at Sonny's and The Shrimp Basket.


We're looking forward now to race week at Daytona in February!
