Day tripping

May 13 – We left today with Jean and Paul at 10:30 for Steinhatchee.  Bill  wanted to go to a restaurant there that he and I had eaten in years ago and get a new plastic glass.  Geez!  So we checked out the town and Bill rescued a turtle from the road.  Bill thought the restaurant was Roy’s and I didn’t think so. We went to look at a campground as Jean and Paul might want to come down for a weekend.  The first place was a private campground for seasonals.  They sent us a bit further down the road where there was a small place with a pool and 15 spaces.  It’s under new ownership and they are just starting to make some improvements. It would be fine as long as we/they parked in the first half of the spaces as it would be difficult to put our RVs in the spaces in the back. 

 

I googled a list of the restaurants and decided the one we were looking for was Fiddlers.  So we went there and Bill didn’t recognize it at all.  Jean, Paul and I enjoyed the fish ponds at the front entrance and we all enjoyed our lunch.  Bill was very happy when he saw the water glasses and it was the glass he was looking for!  The waitress, Bessy, gave us a small stack of them to take with us!

 

The guys decided we were only 40 minutes from Cedar Key and Bill wanted to see the RV park that we girls had stayed in and see if it was possible for our camping club.  The park is really nice but they don’t have rallies in the months we need so it was a no go.  We went into Cedar Key so Jean and I could get some of the famous Tony’s Clam Chowder.  We each got a quart to go.  Yum!!!

 

Tom was hanging with the ladies!

Bill was tired so I drove home.  We got back at 5 and we were to grill out with  I had to finish making my broccoli salad.  Everyone brought what they wanted to grill and side dishes.  Everything was very good: corn on the cob, potato salad, pasta salad, and Jean brought 3 kinds of dessert.  The food was great but the camaraderie, laughter and friendship was even better.  We disbanded at about 8:45 as everyone was anxious to watch the 2 episodes showing of Hawaii 5-0.

everyone starting at 5:30.
