Yesterday, by 9:20 am, we were loaded up and pulling out of the storage lot in the motorhome with the Jeep tagging along behind. We traveled most of the way on I-75 which had lots of traffic that moved along well. At 1:46 pm we were at Indian Creek RV park, Fort Myers, Florida where we plan to stay for a week. After setting up and eating a late lunch we took a drive out along the Gulf coast where the opposite route of traffic was congested and slow moving that we continued on in an more inland route back to the campground.
Today, Thanksgiving Day, I got a turkey breast into the crock pot first thing in the morning and by noon on high the turkey was ready to eat. Dressing and twice baked sweet potatoes (potatoes baked and the insides scooped out, mashed with butter, salt and pepper, and little milk and then shells refilled with shredded cheese on top) were baked in the convection oven. Gravy and broccoli were cooked on stovetop. Cranberry sauce had been made at home. An apple pie, a gift from our real estate agent, will be eaten later this evening. A good meal cooked in the motorhome but we both ate too much.
It has been cloudy today and this afternoon the rain is here. Good day for just relaxing after a big meal and pausing to think of all the things we are thankful for. We did walk this morning before the rains. Who knows what we may get into tomorrow- an art festival? sand sculpture?- lots to see and do in this area.
