This morning we got up had a quick breakfast, I prepped yesterday. We tried to get out as early as possible. We made it about 9: 15 a.m. not bad..
Can't believe we're leaving the Keys. Goodbye tropical water views.
We are ready to get off this island, lol.
I said LOL, maybe I should explain why I said that. Not really sure but, well the CG was fabulous, everything was expensive and far away. Jim never wants a long drive just " to go have fun" :/
Can't believe we drove 4 hours without stopping once. The drive was going quickly, was alot to look at, and was a very pleasant drive, with very minimal stress. We made a quick stop at Love's.
Didn't have my usual lunch stuff to pack, so I just had some healthy snacks for our lunch. When you're not moving around, it was plenty and hit the spot.
The total drive was about 5 hours or so. With about 263 mile drive. Give or take.
We arrived at Peace River Thousand Trails in Wauchula Florida. Unfortunately today they were having their Thanksgiving potluck at 11:30. So we knew we missed it, oh well.
We checked in, and she told us some sites are totally blocked out. And if it has a tag with a name and a date on it that is reserved. As long as you're leaving before that date, you can use the site. She didn't tell us that 2 weeks ago when we were here, interesting.
So then we proceeded to look for our site. It was a lot fuller than last time we were here, which surprised us. Not a whole lot available, a lot are totally closed as they are still working on the electric. We found a site that was hard to back up into, a lot of sand. Our batteries were at 53%. So we decided to back in.
I hate being in the back and watching the weird angles he puts the RV and truck into. Sometimes that's stressful to see. But we got backed in and plugged in the RV.
Jim and I walked around looking for a better spot. On the way I said I just want a flat spot, with grass, not so much sand, no trees above us, shade on our living side, not too close to the road, fire ring with a picnic table and full hookups. Not to much to ask....And that's exactly what we found in site G8.
Perfect we went and got the fifth wheel and moved it over here. Great to be settled in for 3 weeks.
Jim got the golf cart out and he setup the outdoor space so nice.
Later we took a golf cart ride around before I prepped dinner.

This morning after breakfast. Which is basically about 9 am. A bit later we went to Walmart in Wauchula.
Jim needed his pills refilled. He went to fill them while I started grocery shopping.
This year we switched to Walmart for pill refills instead of CVS. They were such a pain, every year because they change your location, every time you refilled them. You'd move on, and need a refill, they would fill them where you just left. And you couldn't stop it from happening, no matter how you tried. They even acknowledged it once, it was a problem for snowbirds in their system. Technology think they could figure it out.
Jim said they texted him, it was $1,900 before he showed them our insurance card. Amen for that.
After we finish shopping, I just wanted to buy a few things I wouldn't find at Aldi's.
Then we filled up with diesel.
On the way we saw this really stupid looking F-150 they had lifted in the front. We couldn't stop laughing.
We came back to the RV, Jim put his beer away and a few groceries I bought. We chilled for a while and then we left to go to Aldi's which is in Sebring. It's about half an hour away. We also pass the Escapee campground on the way. Really close to that we passed an HDT along the road for sale. We'll have to stop later.
We wanted to get to Aldi's and back before dark, as it was getting late. I spend about an hour in Aldi's and we were going to go to the other Walmart too. Jusy to find a few things that the other smaller one didn't have. I want to buy a zipper to put in my coat pocket.
We will save that Walmart fun for another day. Don't want to overwhelm ourselves with too much walmart. Lol
Then we returned home and put everything away and had dinner and settled in for the night. We didn't make it before dark. So weird that it gets dark so early now.
