Seffner, Florida

We arrived at Lazydays RV Resort near Tampa on Thurs, Feb 4^th. Lazydays has the country’s biggest RV dealership with over 1,700 RVs available for purchase. The dealership is huge and we enjoyed looking inside the various new and pre-owned RVs one day. Their RV resort is adjacent to the dealership and has 300 campsites.

 

Friday we drove out to MacDill Air Force Base and checked out the base Family Campground, with about 380 sites, but it was nearly full with snow birds. We stopped by the commissary and picked up a few groceries before leaving MacDill.

Wearing my Peyton Manning #18 shirt, we got ready for Super Bowl 50 this past Sunday. It was an exciting game and the Denver defense overwhelmed the Carolina Panthers, 24-10. It had been 17 years since the Broncos won a Super Bowl, since the back-to-back wins in Super Bowl XXXII and XXXIII.

On Monday, Julie and I enjoyed dinner at the Columbia Restaurant again. The white wine sangria, the 1905 salad, and entrees were wonderful.

 

Tuesday we met one of Julie’s high school girlfriends she hadn’t seen in over 40 years. Carol and husband Mike live in Tampa and we thoroughly enjoyed visiting and having dinner with them. We went to Datz for dinner, a Cajun restaurant in their neighborhood. Julie and Carol both had shrimp and grits and Mike and I had the meatloaf, which was stuffed with macaroni and cheese. Everything was very good. 

 

We drove to Palm Harbor on Wednesday to visit my sister Cathy and her son Ben. We helped Cathy and Ben move new living room furniture into the house. Cathy fixed shrimp scampi for dinner and we had an enjoyable evening.

Today we drove from Seffner down to Margate, FL, near Fort Lauderdale. We’re staying at Aztec RV Resort for 5 nights. We plan to drive to Miami today to go to the Miami Boat Show (on our bucket list).
