At the market

On Saturday we visited the Fruitville Grove Market, very close to the RV park. The fruits and vegetables were fresh, and Amish baked goods, pasta, cheeses, jams, and pretzels were featured. Jill even made some new friends!

Thanksgiving 2008

University Park, Florida

Our coach visits Devonshire

This morning we drove the coach to Devonshire to pickup Glenn's mother. Now off to Sarasota for a family Thanksgiving at Glenn's Uncle Ed's and Aunt Sharon's house.

Devonshire, Palm Beach Gardens

On Friday, we drove the short distance from Port St. Lucie to Palm Beach Gardens. We parked the coach, and then spent the next 24-hours getting it “Mom-ready.”

We then drove to Devonshire to get Glenn’s mother to bring her back to see the coach for the first time.

We were serendipitously intercepted by Devonshire’s photographer-extraordinaire, Chester Mann, who took this picture. 

Port St. Lucie, Florida

On Tuesday, we left White Springs and drove the 300 miles or so to the St. Lucie West Motorcoach Resort. It is one of the nicest RV resorts in the country — first class in every respect. Class A motorhomes only, no campers or trailers here. We are overlooking one of several small lakes and the10th hole of the golf course. 

Glenn got to ride his BikeE AT XL at sunset.

White Springs, Florida

We left Dothan and headed to White Springs, Florida. We've spent six days here, continuing to organize and arrange things in the coach as we have gotten more experience with actually travelling in it. We are staying at a beautiful little RV park here. The owners have put a lot of work into landscaping and the grounds are very nice.

Dothan, Alabama

We had a great time visiting with Glenn's brother Bob and his wife Kendall and their son Jeff in Dothan. (David was off at the University of Alabama.) We were in town during the National Peanut Festival. "Approximately half of the peanuts grown in the United States are grown within a 100-mile radius of Dothan, Alabama." Here are Bob and Jill on the Midway.

Glenn has already had his life accelerated by the Navy.

On Monday, we dropped in at the Wiregrass Museum of Art in Dothan. It is a marvelous facility and Kendall gave us a deluxe tour.

Leaving Twin Lakes

We finally left Twin Lakes to head south. First stop was Mike's Trailer Hitches south of Atlanta to pick up the Honda. It had hitch and brake equipment installed.

Glenn and the crew at Mike's with the new tow bar attaching the Honda to the back of the coach. Not seen, because it is installed under the hood of the Honda, is the M&G Car Braking System. When the coach brakes are applied, the Honda brakes are applied at the same time. It is a really neat (and safe) system.

Now off to Dothan, Alabama to visit with Glenn's brother Bob and his familly.
