Last full day in Naples

Today was our last day before heading back north.  While we would love to stay longer, we are so glad we made the effort to push this far south.  We love this area.

I didn’t post yesterday, because it was an errand day.  We upgraded our phones at Verizon, went to Whole Foods and Publix, came home and made barbeque chicken and mashed taters and veggies.  Mmmmm……

  

Here is my first picture with my iPhone 6.  🙂

Today was another beach day.  We went to Delnor-Wiggins State Park.

 

Nice beach with plenty of parking and restrooms.

 

 

Even the dolphins were having fun!

 

 

We had our beach setup going, and we did not get burned. It is just not worth it to us to do that.  I have to tell you, that beach cart earned it’s place in our trunk, for sure.

After the beach, we headed over to Pincher’s in Tin City.  The latter was built as an area of commerce in the 1920’s along the waterfront.  Today, it is an assortment of eclectic shops and restaurants.  Pincher’s is a local seafood place with a lively atmosphere.  We both had grouper.  My gluten-free version came broiled with cole slaw and apple sauce, and Diana’s was a traditional deep fried sandwich with a mountain of fries.  We laughed how no one could possibly eat all those fries…except possibly me in my old gluten days.  🙂

After dinner, we had a chance to walk the park at Club Naples RV Resort tonight and get some photos.

 

 

Here is an example of how the rigs back up to each other.

 

 

This is an empty lot that someone recently pulled out from.  The rig goes on the sand next to the patio.

 

 

And here is one where the entire lot is paved.

So while the park is close quarters, it is very, very nice.  Everybody loves it here, which is a great sign.  Their community areas are first rate and well maintained.  The staff is extremely friendly. I am sure we will be back someday.

Tomorrow, we start back north.  We will be taking our time on the way back, as the trip down was a bit of a push. We will do our best to post on our travels!

A move farther south for a few days

We finished up our stay at Recreation Plantation in Lady Lake, Florida today.  We thoroughly enjoyed the resort, along with the people who both work and reside there.  We wish it were farther south, but it would be worth considering for a winter location.  And it was clean. The nightly rate was a bit pricey at $50, but first time visitors get the first night free.  That made the 3 night stay more reasonable.  Seasonals rates are competitive with other parks we’ve seen in Florida.

We then drove down I-75 to Naples.  We are staying at Club Naples RV Resort.  It is right on the edge of the Everglades…as in, next stop past the unit to the east of us is Fort Lauderdale … 81 miles away.  :). We will give our review of the park after we have been here a bit.

I was invited by Rob at Rockiesoutdoors to take part in a five day black and white photo challenge.  Today is Day 4.

 

This is a photo taken through a catwalk support on the pier at Grand Haven, Michigan a few summers ago.  We would go out for the evening with our dog Jenny and walk out to the end of the pier and watch the sunset.  In this photo, it is setting approxametely over Sheboygan, Wisconsin…a good 90 miles across Lake Michigan.

Today, I nominate Ingrid at Live Laugh RV.  Ingrid and her husband Al are fulltime RVers, and have visited many beautiful locations in North America.  Be sure to check out their blog to see her amazing photography!

The rules of the challenge are simple:

Post a different black and white photo of yours each day for five consecutive days.

Nominate a fellow blogger on each day to continue the challenge.

Hopefully, Ingrid accepts the challenge!
