Independence Day and Home, July 4 & 5, 2018

Wednesday, July 4th, Independence Day, for the four of us started with breakfast and then swimming at the campground pool. The campground had a complimentary lunch of barbecue pork chops, mac and cheese, Cole slaw, baked beans, and fruit from 12 noon until 2 pm.  We got there about 1 pm to find out there was only 2 pork chops left and 2 hamburgers so that is what we had along with the sides.  Gabi and I had the pork chops while Parker and Tom ate hamburgers.  Returning to the motorhome, it was no too long until there was quite a thunder and lightning storm, a few strikes sounded very close to us.  We had talked about going to Tarpon Springs to see fireworks at the Fred Howard Park but decided to just settle for some Culver's ice cream.  After the ice cream and returning to the campground we took a walk around the grounds and then went to a deck that was on the bayou where we were able to see distant fireworks at several locations- much better than being in traffic.

Thursday (5th) we packed up and departed the campground near 9 am to head home.  We drove the motorhome directly to our house and unloaded everything.  Then we went to the storage lot to park the motorhome, a total of 98 miles today.   Before returning to the house, we stopped for lunch at the Mexican Grille in The Villages.
