Back in Florida

We left Edwardsville, IL on the 11th and started our trek south.  We drove to Clarksville, TN and stayed one night and then on to Forsythe, GA.  We stayed here one night and headed on to Grand Lakes RV & Golf Resort in Citra, FL.  We have been here several times before, and stayed in the same site we have stayed in for the past 8 years, 311 across from the rally club house.  We spent a week there so we could recooperate from the long drive down.  When we left Citra, we had a LONG drive to Thousand Trails Orlando in Clermont, FL.  Although this is an older TT park, it is still nice for about 3 weeks.  We will be here until the 9th of November, when we head to Blueberry Hill in Bushnell, FL for the Chapter 57 Escapee Rally.
Our kids came and visited on Wed night.  Thursday we got up and headed to Animal Kingdom at Disney.  We really enjoyed the day, and of course, I has been nice having the kids here with us.

It was interesting to see the "Tree of Life" with all it's intrigrate cavings.  We got to enjoy the Lion King show and the Finding Nemo, the musical  All in all, it was an enjoyable day.
Yesterday we went to Kennedy Space Center.  This was another enjoyable place and we went to all of the IMAX movies available and rode the shuttle simulator.  To say the least, I'm worn out. 

Overall, this was a nice experience and I would recommend it to anyone.  Although Animal Kingdom was, what I would consider expensive, we really did have a nice time.  The Space Center was about one half the cost of Disney, and I think a better value for your money, but that's just me. 
The kids will deepart for home tomorrow.  We will have a couple of more weeks at TT Orlando.  Monday we go to meet some friends for lunch, but other than that, no other plans, but to relax! 

Y'all travel safe, and I'll type more later!

A lot has transpired since last update

Well, a lot has transpired since I last updated the blog.  We left Cleveland, GA and went to the North Carolina Good Sam Samboree.  We had a really good time.  It as at Tom Johnson's in Marion, NC.  We had never been there before, so it was a new experience for us.  We really enjoyed ourselves, even though it rained most of the time we were there.  When we left Marion, NC, we headed to Charlotte Motor Speedway RV Park.  This is a nice park, with level sites.  While we were there, we visited Hendrick Motorsports museum and the shops.  If you are in the area, and a NASCAR fan, this is a must see.

From here we drove to Myrtle Beach, SC for the South Carolina Good Sam Samboree.  This appeared to be an exciting event, however, we got a call from my mom's nursing home asking us to let the family know if they wanted to see her, they should come now.  We packed up and started our drive to Belleville, Illinois area at 1:15PM in the afternoon.  We went a way that would allow us to be on interstate most of the way so we could utilize the rest areas.  We drove to Agusta, GA the first night, which is when I got the call that Mom had passed away.  The next day we drove to Clarksville, TN and the following day to Red Barn RV Park in Edwardsville, IL.  We have been here since last Saturday.  We had mom's graveside service yesterday, and we will be headed south on Saturday.
We were also informed that this park we close for good on 1 November.  This is quite a shame as, although it is a small park, it is really quite nice.  I'm not sure where we'll stay should we get back to this area. 

Well, that's about it.  You are all up to date.  Y'all travel safe, and I'll type more later.
