Livin’ in LaBelle

It was a busy week for us here in LaBelle, Florida. On Tuesday we got our new tire covers and installed them on our motorhome. Then later we went to an afternoon social at Glenn and Angie’s RV site.

On Wednesday we made a quick trip up I-75 to the Tampa RV SuperShow. We especially liked looking at the new Winnebego Horizon motorhome. The sleek interior is very different from any other motorhome we’ve ever seen. The new Horizon model was named “RV of the Year” for 2018.   

We enjoyed lunch with old friends Jeff and Carol from Mission, Texas who were in Florida for a family reunion and vacation.  We also enjoyed looking inside the $2 million Newell motor coach. Every Newell is custom, hand-made and they only manufacture 35-40 new coaches a year.

Julie and I went to a Lovin’ Spoonful concert on Friday night in Bonita Springs. The band was immensely popular from 1965 to 1970, but they have continued performing for over 50 years.

Happy New Year 2018

We left Key West on Saturday, December 23^rd, and “moved” to Oak Grove RV Resort in LaBelle, Florida. Oak Grove is a new RV resort, located in the heart of LaBelle, about 30 miles east of Fort Myers.

We initially stayed in a nice site on the lake, but after the Christmas holiday decided to move to a different site with some shade.

We’ve enjoyed our time so far back in the Fort Myers area with a several trips to the Sun Harvest Citrus market to pick up some freshly-picked oranges, strawberries, and fresh squeezed orange-cranberry juice.

We attended the New Year’s Eve party and dinner at our resort clubhouse. The New Year’s ball dropped at 10PM here in this 55+ resort.

It got cold here in early-January with snow in northern Florida and temperatures near freezing here in south-central Florida. The cold snap lasted almost a week and we had to turn on our heat at night.

Happy New Year!
