Tampa RV Show, Day #1

Woke up early ish to head to the RV show. Never leave as early as we wanted to. We left around 915. That's when we wanted to get there. Before we left I pre-cook a pack of turkey burger with taco seasoning for tacos and taco salad later, and chopped up two tomatoes, for tonight.   

 We are meeting our friends from Rochester , Sue and Tony that we met at Lazydays Tampa 2 years ago. Once we got close the traffic was really heavy. The CG is about 72 miles away, took a good hour, really just straight up the highway. When we arrived it took us a long time to find Sue and Tony, they had their small dog Tyson with them too. We walked around for a long time at the end of the day Sue said her step counter was over 10,000 steps, I'm sure we did the same. Jim was starving, we found a very light lunch. Sue and Tony bought a whole bunch of stuff and took it out to their car. We didn't buy that much just something I was looking at every year we go, there grip sticks.  There's a picture of them and in use once I got home.

The show is huge Jim and I feel it is larger than Hershey RV show. On the way out to leave we said hi to Mike and Mandy, ran into them walking back to the truck. We left around 5:30, wanted to be home before dark, that didn't happen either. Stays daylight till just after 6 here.

So we got close to home we were pretty hungry,  so we went over to The Villages. We went into Cody's Original Roadhouse

restaurant Always wanted to try it. Even though I had pre-made food for dinner ready at home, that's no fun. They had a DJ, he was taking requests, He actually played a Post Malone song which I thought was pretty hip for The Villages, who knew. Jim didn't like it. He played alot of country too. After dinner we went over to the live music for a little bit it was pretty full people were dancing very festive.

Took  a few pictures. Then we went home showered and relaxed.

After breakfast and lunch we watch TV and relaxed at home, we went to get fuel. Then we went to the Brownwood sales office and did a trolley tour of Brownwood. Afterwards we set an appointment for next Wednesday to view a few homes and ride a golf cart tour and get lessons on the usage of the tunnels. We got a lot of ideas on places to go and how to get there.

There's wonderful  shopping all around the center Square, I found a birthday gift  for my youngest granddaughter and a pair of earrings I liked . Then we went to eat at TooJay's deli. Had a wonderful early dinner actually took a picture, but not of dessert, we shared a piece of coconut cake. 

When we came out the sun was just setting and what beautiful pictures we took.

After that we walked over to the nightly music entertainment. They were playing Latino music, Jim wasn't a fan, we went back to the truck and went home for the rest of the evening beautiful day the weather this week has been about 86 everyday beautiful sunny skies.

Friday January 17, 2020 RV Show day  #2

This morning we got up early for RV Show day number two. In Tampa they give you a second pair of tickets for another day. Wish they would do that at the Hershey Pennsylvania RV show. So we decided to go, it's hard to see everything in one day. Jim got up at 6:30 I got up a quarter of 7 we showered had a good breakfast I packed a lunch to eat in the truck later. We left just after 8. 

The traffic was a lot better, as we drove I worked on the blog,  and before I knew it we were there. We walked right in and didn't have to wait at the gate, no line today. I found a lipstick I wanted, sounds funny for an RV show. Jim found some seasoning to grill with, called Mike's seasoning. We looked at other RV we didn't get a chance to the day before, we only shared an ice cream cone went to the truck and had our lunch before 1, we left at 3 in the afternoon, traffic was pretty heavy on the way home. Still daylight though this time, we got home put everything away took some things out of the freezer. Then I heated  it up my ingredients I prepped for tacos,  watch TV and relax the rest of the evening.
