Looks like it going to be another beautiful day here in Silver Springs my outside thermometer is already at 21  Celsius (70 F).
I was a little late getting out of  bed this morning after a late night at the Ocala Speedway (Buba Raceway) were we watched some awesome Modified and Sprint car racing. Victor and I got there about an hour early (6:00 pm)  thinking  we would get some descent seats. Apparently a lot of other people were thinking the same way and the parking lots were already full leaving us to try find a spot on the side of the road.
Success we got parked and headed for the gates for what was expected to be some great racing with NASCAR favorites Tony Stewart, Steve Kinser and Donny Schatz headlining the Sprint car racing.

Have I mentioned awesome yet have a look


                                                                 Victor in the stands

I probably didn't mention yet that this is a dirt track now did I. Well let me tell you if you never been to a dirt track before here's a peace of advice for you do not wear a white coat and glasses are a must.
                                                                Me and Vic after the race

Boy did I need a shower when I got home but hey as I said earlier awesome. Well I better get going here.
Remember "keep our stick on the ice" and have a good one

I was a little quicker getting back here this time the good internet service sure makes a difference. Okay that enough plugs for Verizon. Anyway I was anxious to post the picture of my first sighting this year of a Robin this morning while out for my morning stroll.

Now getting back to were I left you on our travels. About a week after arriving at Wilderness Resort we were invited out for super and an excursion to Old Town which is located in Kissimmee just outside Orlando. It was a fine night with great friends and  good food and good times.

                                                        The restaurant we had dinner in
                                                  The guest of honor Steve the birthday boy
                                                          My favorite from the car parade
                                           And of coarse Victors favorite being he's a ford man

About a week later Nola and I ventured off on a ride to the beach " Daytona Beach that is" white sands, fast cars and gorgeous women.
                                                                       


Well I guess you get the picture, we had a really nice day walking the beach and ending with super at a restaurant on the peer.



Well I'am starting to get restless to go out side and enjoy the day so as my friends in Canada say " Keep your stick on the ice"

Wow I thought it would be easy to keep up a blog, mean while it been a month since I last posted here. There has also been a few internet issues that keep me from posting that I finally resolved by going with Verizon Wireless hot spot (great coverage and signal). Anyway I am back and we sure have a lot to post.
Well you probably figured out by now we have arrived in Florida.


The trip down was pretty uneventful with the drive through mountains being a little challenging with all the hills but there sure were a lot of gorgeous sites. We spent the first 2 nights in Walmart parking lots before we booked into a RV park just south of Savannah as this was a city that Nola had always wanted to see. The RV park (Harmony Lake) was a Good Sams Club park and was okay but the lots were a bit on the narrow side. Savannah on the other hand was beautiful and all that we expected and we enjoyed the day touring around and seeing the sites.



After checking out of Harmony Lake RV park we headed  for truck wash that the girl at park office had told us about where we could get Seemore (our motor home) washed as he was absolutely filthy from our travels. Well after the big bath we were on our way to Williston Crossing an RV park just outside of Ocala Florida were we got a great deal for being a first time visitor. $99.00 for one week "wow we'll take it".
We have since move to Wildness RV park just out side Silver Spring which is a lot closer to Nola's family in Ocala and is central to Daytona Beach, Orlando and Tampa all within an hour and 1/2 drive. We are really happy with our site and location and will probably stay here for a few months.
Well it getting warm outside so l think i will call it a day for the blog and enjoy the weather and will do more updating another day, hopefully it would take me a month to get back here lol.

The countdown

Well we are starting to get excited one more month and our adventure with Seemore (our Motor-home)  begins. We are just waiting to spend Christmas with our granddaughters in Ontario (can't wait to see them :)) and then we are heading south, to get away from this snow.

Our new home

And so the adventure begins Woo Hoo


After months of research and scouring the internet we finally found our new home for the road "Seemore" so named to take us on our travels that we had been dreaming about and planning for many years.
He is a beautiful 2004 Fleetwood Bounder 35e and we couldn't be happier.
