On To Harbor Lakes CG near Port Charlotte!

Ken and I were up by 7:15 and did alittle more preparation for leaving Peace River.  We took a short walk through the CG and then headed to the Pickleball Court at 9.  We had 7 players today, so we had to take turns sitting out.  We have really enjoyed playing with this group of people at this CG - great players and so supportive of each other. 

We said our good-byes and were back to Waldo by 10:30 to shower, retract the jacks, pull in the slides and be on our way by 11.  It was about a 1 1/4 hour drive southwest to Harbor Lakes CG.   We have visited friends at this CG last year, but have never stayed here.  It is an impressive Encore Park with many great amenities and everything is in tip top condition!  The 6 shuffleboard courts and equipment is the best we have seen in any CG and 1 of the 2 pickleball courts was just put in last year.  They also have a tennis court, large swimming pool with hot tub, and the widest roads we have seen in a CG.  We are really looking forward to our stay here.

Here we are!

Nice sites with a cement patio for our picnic table!

These shuffleboard courts are so fast and the
equipment is top notch!

Not sure why the roads in the CG are so wide, but
it makes pulling in and out so easy!

Beautiful large pool area with hot tub!


After getting set-up, we took a walk around the CG ending up at the shuffleboard courts for 2 exciting games!  (Exciting for me for I won both of them!!!)  We decided it was a good night to go out to dinner, since we hadn't eaten out at all while at Peace River.  The lady in the office suggested we try Portafinos, a restaurant near Port Charlotte where you can sit outside on the second floor and enjoy a great view of the Peace River.  We were fortunate to get their about 10 minutes before sunset and what a gorgeous one it was!  We enjoyed eating  there and had some nice conversations with some of the locals, who found our lifestyle exciting.  The bonus was the great Caribbean type view!

Sunset on the Peace River!


Love the shadows on the water and
the fishing pier!


The sky color was incredible and the silloutte of
the sailboat wasn't "shabby" either!


From the upper deck of Portafinos!



Looks like you are in the islands!



We were back to Waldo by 7:30 and had a relaxing evening watching TV, reading, and working on our computers.

Life is good and we continue to celebrate it!!!!
