Life Renewed

It’s been exactly one week since we hitched up and departed our winter home in Davenport, FL.   Seven days, and we’re on our fourth campground in our Springtime Sojourn.   Four down, 17 more to go! First stop took us to Madison, FL (Florida is a really weird state to travel in, and it takes a whole lot of time to leave it!), to Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park.   There was a small water park, but temps were a bit too chilly to partake.   Besides, being a family-centric campground, there were a large amount of actual FAMILIES there, one presumes due to Spring break for schools.   It was loud, the kids were out of control, zipping around the campground in golf carts, pint-sized 4-wheelers, motorized scooters (the stand-on kind, like what we had as kids that we used to propel with one foot), and on foot.   No regard to speed limit, people walking around, or individual campsites that they used as a cut-through to the other side.   Needless to say, we were very happy to leave there.   On

Well, we’re now down to 4-1/2 days and counting before we hitch up and move on.   Our time here has flown by.   Of course, that has been helped by our frequent trips over to the House of Mouse, as allowed through our Florida Resident Annual Passes. When we started planning and dreaming about what our life would be like once we spent our first winter as Snowbirds, Disney wasn’t even on the radar as far as how we would spend our free time.   Little did we know that we would become full-fledged enthusiasts!   Of course, by TRUE aficionado standards, we’re rookies!   Our new friends/neighbors here have definitely helped us learn lots more about all there is to see/do when you’re not limited to 4 days and a 3-day Park Hopper pass!   It’s really amazing!   We look forward to coming back next year and continuing the adventure into All Things Disney.                    Laser projections onto Cinderella's Castle during Happily Ever After fireworks  Spaceship Earth and th
