On our Way to Encore's Royal Coachman Resort in Venice Area!

Ken and I were up at 7:30, showered, and got ready for our day.  Ken made us omelettes and a fresh fruit plate while I finished getting ready.  At 9 we went over to Chuck and Melissa's to eat breakfast together on their picnic table.  It was another absolutely beautiful, warm morning.  These days just couldn't be any better weather wise!

After cleaning up, we got together at Waldo so we could sit in the sunshine and chat.  At 11, we decided we should be on our way to our next location, Royal Coachman Resort, a long drive (about 23 miles away)!  We decided not to hitch the cars, so I took the lead, then Ken in the motorhome, followed by Melissa in their car, and then Chuck in their motorhome.  We looked like a mini caravan.  We were on our adjoining sites in Royal Coachman by 12:30 and took about the next 1 1/2 hours to get completely set-up.  This is one of Ken and my favorite areas and we are so anxious to share it with Chuck and Melissa. 

We were very hungry by the time we were all settled in and we each had a code for a free pulled pork sandwich at Sonny's which had to be used by tomorrow.  So, what are 4 hungry people to do but head out to the nearest Sonny's for lunch - another great Sonny's experience. 

We took them on a drive-by of Nokomis Beach and then the scenic tour of Casey Key Road.  The houses and setting in that area are amazing!  Melissa had gotten the address of one of the large homes and it is valued at 15.5 Million - Imagine!  Ken and I have been on that road many times by car and bike, and I still enjoy and get totally fascinated everytime we go there. Then on to Sport's Authority and another great moment for Chuck and Melissa - they purchased their 1st pickleball paddles!  Look out world - here they come!  Then a tour of Total Wine, an amazing liquor store that has more wines, liquors, and beers that you will probably ever see at one place! 

More groceries were needed so another trip to Wal-Mart was required!  Back to Waldo by 5:45. 

I deboned the chicken and made us small salads for dinner.  The 4 of us ate on the picnic table at Waldo.  Then we played Pinochle, Haus, and a game of Skip-Bo.  it was a winning night for the women!
Only called it a day at 11.  Tired.
