A Treat For The Dogs

We left Starke on Monday morning and headed to Port Richey.  Because Doug does most of the driving, I told him I would drive this leg.  It was an easy 3 hour drive.  I even drove for about 3 miles on U.S. 19.  If you've ever been in this part of Florida, you understand what a feat that is for me.  3 lanes of  north bound traffic, 3 lanes of south bound traffic, extra left and right turn lanes and tons of traffic.

We are at the Suncoast RV Resort and this is our third time here.  The park is far more crowded than any other time that we've been here.  Nearly every spot is taken.  The first time we were here we had a spot on the first row across from dog walk area and the second time we were on a end of a row.  They were both great spots.  This time we're in the middle of the third row and the site is very narrow.  The people on one side of us are from the Lansing area and have been here since November 1.  Lucky ducks.

On Tuesday, we headed to Fred Howard Park in Tarpon Springs with the dogs.  You can park on the causeway that goes out to the beach.  We set up, had lunch and took the dogs for lots of walks.  The dogs love it out there.  A nice treat for them!



It's been a bit on the cool side here, not exactly beach weather.  Yesterday I did some laundry, made the famous Tuna Shell Salad and helped Doug wash the MH.  We had paid for a wash at a Blue Beacon Truck Wash in South Carolina on Friday but we were disappointed.  Looks good now that we did it by hand.

It's going to be sunny today with a high of 66 and tomorrow is going to be sunny with a high of 72.  I'm not sure we'll end up at the beach either day, but I'm grateful we're here and not in the northeast where they've gotten hit with another big winter storm.  Even Indy got 4-5 inches of snow from that storm.
