Smallwood's tore info

We had breakfast in then got ready and headed out, first to the Everglades City Museum, which used to be a professional Laundry then out for lunch at the 'City Seafood Restaurant'.  We then headed down towards Chokoloskee Island to another museum 'Ted Smallwood's Store'.  The store was built in 1917 and Ted did a lot of trading with the Seminole Indians as well as the local residents.  Inside the store 90 percent of the things were in the store from when it was still working and today it is still owned by his family descendants and they have it opened for visitors.  We got back home about 3:30, a walk for Rudy then the normal people watching, dinner on the grill and a discussion about starting to pack.....that waited until Friday.

Friday 15  February 2019

We both were up early and had a quick breakfast.  Since nothing was packed last night there was a lot to pack and some how we managed to get it all done and be on the road by 10:00 am, we can't do that when we plan and start early.  It was an uneventful ride back to Frostproof, to the Whidden Mobile Home/RV Park and we were all settled in by 1:30.  The Folks invited us over for dinner so we headed over there about 5:00 for burgers, salad and a dessert that ended up coming home with us.  Jen had made Strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries, but we were all to full to have any that night. It was a nice visit but Brad and I were tired so we headed home about 8:30.

Another early day for us strawberry short cake for breakfast yum!  Then packed up and on the road to Stewart's RV repair shop.  They ordered parts last week and we stopped in to get the steps and awning fixed.  Not having steps was driving us crazy that is a big stretch with out them and we had to lift Rudy in and out.  It took them quite a while to fix the steps but we were still out of there by 2pm.  What a long boring day just waiting for the Moho to be done.  We came back, parked and set up by 3pm.  It was hot and Rudy was tired from being in the truck all day so we had chicken on the grill and called it a day.

Sunday 17 February 2019

Hot and humid when we woke up.  Took Rudy for walk came back turned on the a/c before breakfast.  Eggs and little smokes on the grill for breakfast, showers and off for groceries by 10:30.

Brad's 'Grouper Special'

  And after a little site seeing adventure we notice it was 11:30.  Not wanting to do the grocery shopping hungry Diane found this little restaurant 'Harry's Old Place'.  What a find, it didn't open until 12 and when we arrived at 5 of 12 there were already 10 people waiting.  It was a seafood place and they only carried fresh seafood.  I had the grouper special(grouper with crab meat on top with scallops on top of that and then shrimp topping the whole thing).  It was hard but I ate the whole thing.  Diane mean while had plain old scallops that were delicious.  After that was shopping but who cared we were full.  Back to the Moho, walk Rudy and off to the Folk's for Home made chili and biscuits. Yum!  We talked for a while and left around 9pm.
