There was really no rush in the AM to get moving since the distance was only 130 miles to The Villages. It was all back roads so this meant a slower pace as well as no shoulders and lots of stop & go. The temps soon warmed up to 80+ and Theresa was doubting her choice of jeans for her attire today.
The arrival at Blue Parrot RV Resort was just before 1pm. The pool was being well utilized and the park was bustling with folks walking, getting their mail and playing shuffle board. A camp host guided the Smitanic to Site 'B' which was a very tight squeeze between a 5th wheel in A &another motor home in C. With everyone's slides out there may have been about 2-3 feet between vehicles. With all the nasty weather north none of the snowbirds are very anxious to get back, they would rather work on their tan (can't blame them for that choice).
After a quick setup of the Water, power, and sewer the slides were deployed and the interior accommodations were adjusted for the extra space and comfort. Kevin called his Mom to declared the arrival and let her know what time to expect her son and daughter-in-law (Zin too).
The RV park is not a favorite but is a very convenient 3 miles from Kevin's mom's house in The Villages. This development is quite large, very well manicured and has lots of activities targeted to the active senior community. There are numerous golf courses, tennis courts, swimming pools as well as Theresa & Kevin's new favorite Pickelball spread thru several town squares at the heart of each distinct 'village'. It does resemble the various areas(worlds) of Disneyworld in Orlando :)
This will be the last post for a few weeks as Kevin will be busy with his mom and sister who are in the throws of moving into an Assisted Living Facility. He and his mom also have a b-day on March 15th! The Smitanic is also scheduled for some service on March 10 so that will determine a schedule for the final return to Cary.
Hope you have enjoyed our adventures so far. More posts in a few weeks.
