1000 trails-Eustis

Thur. This is when RVing is rough you think you can do something new and find out you do not have a clue what you are doing.  We called the driver instructor and it was so easy for him to make it all right.  We set out for 1000 Trails.  The drive was nice but it took awhile to get the front end of the rig leveled.  We finally got wood blocks under the front end and the auto level took over.  By the way HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY.

FRI.  We got our bikes filled with air and ready for a ride.  We met Steve and Cheryl near Winter Garden.  They have taken several miles of old train routes and made nice biking trails.  We biked a total of 14 miles.  While in Winter Garden’s we ate a picnic lunch then enjoyed a huge one scoop ice cream cone.  As we left town we went to the Plant Street Market where they were having a St. Patrick’s weekend festival.  We walked along the vender’s  outside then went inside to the vendors.  They have a Brewing company that has over 10 beers, a coffee bar that roast beans on site, bakery, butcher, and many more small shops. We finished our bike ride then on the way to the rig we stopped at Publix to get dinner.  After eating we played pegs and jokers which the girls quickly won four games.

Sat.  After our morning routine we walked the park they were having a yard sale.  We found some rope lights.  We then went an got our haircuts before lunch.  Steve and Cheryl are staying at Lake Louisa and had us over.  We went on a bike ride (5miles aprox.)and found they were doing a double iron man.  The folks are given 36 hours to complete it(any takers for next year??).  We talked to one of the helpers who won a triple iron man last year (7.2 mile swim—336 mile bike ride— and 80 mile run).We went to their rig and had leftovers and played pegs and jokers.  It was a struggle but the guys finally won three games to two.

Sun.  After church we went to Disney Springs caught the bus to Grand Floridian.  They were displaying their giant chocolate Easter Eggs.  The hollow chocolate eggs weigh 9 to 12 pounds and stand 16 to 20 inches tall.   When we got back we went to Dan, Trisha, and Brynn’s hotel.  Mike had driven them up from Fort Myers.  We had a nice visit with them then came back to the rig.  We had dinner then Linda beat me at two games of Farkle a dice game.  We had a bible study them shower and early bed.  

Mon.  We woke up to 50 out side whats going on??  We tried to take a bike ride this morning but  the wind blow right through us.  We did take one this afternoon.  We tried again with another Camping World to get service.  We are both getting feb up with them.  We did other paper work and played Farkel which Linda won two of the three games. 

Tues.  After a normal morning, we went on a bike ride. Then we made our phone calls getting campgrounds between here and the Winnebago factory in Iowa. We took a break and had our free Starbucks drink and went shopping.  After dinner I cleaned and Linda got some of her recipes for Easter Week.  We played Farkel tonight I won 2 out of 3.

Wed.  After a relaxing morning we started to get things ready for our trip back to CFBC.  The gps took us a much different route.  At times we thought the limbs on the trees were going to hit the top.  We got to camp and set up, talked to some of the sojourners that are still here.  We had lunch then got things ready to take to my Dad's.  After dinner we went to church then came home and played pegs and jokers which each of us won one.
