We have been busy nomads and tonight we are settled at Parkwood RV Park and Cottages in Statesboro, Georgia. We were here New Year's Day, 2016. It was a long day of travel (left Lakeland at 8:15) but Flo did great and I even managed to drive 80 miles this afternoon and give Mark a break as he's been working that hand pretty good lately! Here's what's been happening the past few days...
Tuesday - today is the 2nd annual Cousins' Gathering in Lakeland. My Aunt Dee from Daytona Beach and her daughter Barb, visiting from Grand Junction, Colorado arrived at 10:30. They wanted to see Flo and we had a nice visit before we all left for Grillsmith at the mall where we met the rest of the kin.
It was a fun lunch (12) of us with Aunt Dee and cousin Barb, my brothers and wives, cousin Denny and Deb from Punta Gorda, cousin Dave and Karen from Odessa, Mark and I. Lunch was delicious and lots of yakking going on...
Mark, Pat, Barb, Ron, Vicki, Linda, Bob, Deb, Denny, Dave, Karen, Aunt Dee
After lunch we went to Ron and Vicki's home and continued the visiting...
Deb and Denny
The party broke up around 4....Mark and I stayed on and enjoyed eating (again) and more chatter.
Wednesday - Mark and I were up early to get Flo hooked up to truck. We met Bob outside their park entrance and I went to their home while Mark took Flo to Dover (Tampa RV Center) for a few little maintenance issues. Bob picked him up later. Today is Vicki's birthday. Vicki, Linda, friend and neighbor Sue came over for mimosas, apple fritters/cinnamon rolls.
Linda and I went shopping later and then met Mark and Bob back home and we all went to Parksdale for strawberry shortcake/ice cream/whip cream
....what a feast!!!
Linda and Bob with our delicious treats!
At night 12 of us went to Bonefish Grill for wonderful dinner and celebrated Vicki's birthday!
Marty, Sue, Pat, Mark, Bob, Dan, Ken, Denny, Ron, Vicki, Linda, Sue
Great evening topped off with Chocolate Lava Cake!
Said our good byes and on back to RV park....we'll see Bob and Linda in May but not sure
about Ron and Vicki!
Thursday - we drove a total of 360 miles (further than we had planned)....not a lot of RV parks
in the Georgia boonies. But that means less to travel tomorrow. The highlight of today was having lunch with Anne, Patrick, Liam and Connor at Cracker Barrel in Ormond Beach. So good to see them all and glad they are enjoying their spring break!
Liam, Anne, Patrick, Connor meeting Flo for first time!

Can't wait to see the NC kiddies! How lucky for us to see all 8 in 2 days time!
