Monday 11 January We traveled from Mayport to Bushnell today. Our normal travel day we left around 10:30 the weather was great. Clear blue sky and full sun shine(almost 70) the nicest day yet and we are leaving. The ride across Florida nice and uneventful except near Bushnell 21 miles of I 75 are under construction. But we still arrived at 3:30 arranged the camp site and had burgers on the grill. We walked around talked to a few of our friend from last year and off to bed.
Tuesday 12 January Woke up. Rudy had to go out so with no coffee and when I opened the door and stepped outside, whoa I was froze. The temperature was down to 35 with a light breeze. Back inside in a hurry put on more clothes and then walked Rudy. The coffee finally finished cooking and the temperature rose quickly into the 50's. The first order of business was getting propane and hooking up the portable tank. That done we had breakfast made a few lists of thing we wanted do. And just like always we headed out at 11:30 drove 20 miles and stopped for lunch. Today was a little bar called O'Shuck's and believe it or not it is a oyster and seafood place. I had grilled shrimp which were very good and Diane had wings with a dry rub(medium hot) and they were good also. Now I normally don't care for dry rub wings but these were really good. Then off to a Ford dealer where after 4 plus hours we left buying a new truck that we didn't even get to see. It was in the paint shop getting fixed after some vandalizing. It is a 2015 F150 truck with the small 6 cylinder. We should pick it up the end of this week. We didn't get home until 6:30 Rudy happy to see us and just left overs and wine for diner.
Wednesday 13 January. This morning was much nicer with temps around 45 or so. We worked on calling people insurance company, someone to install tow stuff on the truck and where to get the old one removed. I removed the breaking system and when I was done the drivers seat fell backward. So I guess I'll be going to the hardware store for some bolts tomorrow. Around 2pm our friends Buddy and Teresa arrived we talked for awhile over a glass of wine then headed to Coyote Rojo for dinner.
Thursday 14 January Another nice morning around 45 and the temperature is to hit almost 70
today. All four of us headed off to the Tampa RV show. I guess it was the nice weather but the place was just packed. We had some lunch there at the show the normal show food sausages with onion and peppers and fries not bad. We walked into one of the vendor building and there were so many people you just couldn't get to see anything. So we were forced to walk around outside looking at new motorhomes and after hours of going in and out of motorhomes we decided to head home, then we found it. Just exactly what we were looking for, new, shinny, not terribly expensive, and the just right color. We called the sale lady over worked out a good deal and walked away with a brand new..... set of fry pans. , had you with that one, Eh By the time we got home it was 6pm and time to walk Rudy and make some phone calls. The truck should be ready tomorrow. Again we had left overs for diner
and off to bed.

Friday 15 January Woke up to rain and wind about 5:00, Brad put the chairs away and then up with the awning....needless to say, I went back to bed. I was up by 7:30, but with the weather, we weren't moving very fast. Just yogurt and oatmeal for breakfast, a couple of showers and we're ready to leave, and then the phone rings....it's Shari. Brad and her talked for about 45 min. so we aren't going to make our 1:00 appointment to pick up the new vehicle. We called David to let him know we wouldn't be there until about 2:00, stopped for lunch then off to the dealer. We spent about an hour there, going over all the gadgets on the truck then headed off to buy a new TV.....oh yea, that died this morning. It had stopped working once about a week ago, but a turn off and back on, it started to work, so we forgot about it.....but no luck this morning. It ended up being about 5:30 until we got home, rescued Rudy and strolled down to say 'Hi' to Buddy and Teresa. They had been out to the wineries today, so they weren't up to going out to dinner, so we just had sausages on the grill and called it a night. Not what I would call a stressful day, but exciting with mixed emotions about everything.

This is a great venue. I was here for a party and there was so much food and it was all done so well! The decor and food both were amazing. Personally, I think the event space is laid out really well and the size of the venue keeps pulling great parties.
