After hanging out at the state parks for a few day and before heading to the rally site, we needed to layover at a place with full hookups. We chose Pecan Park just north of Jacksonville. It was convenient in two ways:  one, that its only 90 min from where the rally will be held and secondly, its only 30 min from an ice rink. So of course that meant that before we pulled in we went straight to Jacksonville Iceplex for their afternoon freestyle session :) Its been way too long since my last practice and even with my good intentions, my off-ice workouts only happen about twice a week. I’m so out of shape! Sometimes you need a little reminder.

It was an excellent decision to leave Collier-Seminole early.

Club Naples was a lovely RV park that had the most gorgeous bathrooms I’ve seen so far. At first it looks like granite counters and travertine tile with walnut doors on each stall. Upon closer inspection (yes, the interior designer in me had to take a closer look) the granite was actually a laminate with a textured finish that resembled granite’s sparkle. The doors were just builder’s grade louvered pine doors stained walnut. The travertine was just a builder’s grade stock tile. The combined effect was beautifully executed on a small budget. Well done.

The wistful longing on the eyes of the residents missing their grandkids was clear.

They had karioke at the pool for 3 hours which entertained Divagirl and she even got some invites to join them. I think ours are the only kids in the place.
