Florida Visits

Thursday we had great day.  After a couple of Rudy walks, we got cleaned up and headed down to Lazy Days RV Park.   Buddy and Theresa, friends we met at the IRV-2 Rally are there for a Fleetwood Rally, so we decided to meet and head out to lunch.  We got there and talked for about an hour, then headed over to Plant City to check out a Pizza shop that we found on the internet.  Not bad, and it was nice to get out for the day.  We were glad they were in no hurry for the table, since we were there about 1.5-2 hours.  It was a nice visit and sad to say good-bye as we headed home.

Friday we decided to hit a small RV show then head over to Brooksville to find the Withlacoochee State Park office. Well we got to the RV show with no problem, but when we left it was almost 4:00, so we decided it was time to head home and tend to Rudy.  I don't know how we do that, but a small RV lot should take us about half the time to go through, but not us, I think we spend too much time scrutinizing things.  We got home tended to Rudy then headed out to the Mexican restaurant for dinner.  There ended up being a line of about 30 people, so out we go and settle on Howie's.  Not bad, it is home cooking, but I am still hungry for Mexican.  Back home, watch Bones and off to be a little after 10:00, I want to get up tomorrow by 7:00 (ha ha).

 

Kumquat Festival

Well today I was awake by 7:00, but still didn't get out of bed until almost 8:00 (it is nice having that first cup of coffee in bed).  We got showered and headed out to the Kumquat Festival in Dade City, about 30 min. away.  Now I must admit, up until today I had no idea what a Kumquat was, but oh the memories it brought back.  When I was a kid, my mom had an orange tree that she had in the house and it grew mini oranges.  Today I find out it was really a Kumquat tree, not a mini orange tree, although that it what they looked like, they don't taste anything like a real orange.  I did brave trying a Kumquat (you even eat the rind), but ugh....I did like the ice cream, it reminded me of a creamsicle.  We spent a couple hours there, checking out all the crafts and junk stands and food stands.  It was a beautiful day for the festival.  Back for dinner from the crock pot and a lazy night at the CG.
