We arrived at our intended destination of Oldsmar, Florida on Paul's big 65th birthday! My sister, Emily and her husband Steve, live in this little town west of Tampa and we had found an RV park only a couple of minutes away, Bay Bayou RV Resort. So, a chance for my sister and I to live near each other and spend some time together, something we haven't done in our adult lives. She had a birthday dinner for Paul that evening with chocolate cake and all! We introduced Foster to her dog, Izzy, so happy they got along as they will be spending quite a bit of time together also.
She's been living here in Florida for almost 2 years already, a huge change from the snowy mountains of Weed, CA. Our plan is to leave the motorhome here for awhile and do some other travels.
Our site backs up to the bayou with shrubs behind us then the water. There's a dock there also, perfect for watching sunsets.
This is the view from the dock back towards our RV.
Since we will park here for a couple of months I had to get some foliage and flowers to brighten up our spot. We made a trip to Home Depot and found large beautiful palms and hanging baskets of petunias. That will keep me happy and fill my desire for gardening.
It was a great feeling to know we had a home here till mid January, 2013.
To celebrate Paul's big birthday we had plans for a trip to Europe just 5 days a way. The motorhome was put into storage, Foster, our car and the plants went to live with Emily while PK and I set out on a different travel plan.

Gosh Julie, It's so good to get caught up on what you and Paul have been up to! I sure enjoy the history and photo's you're sharing. I think the last time I emailed you, you sent photo's of your brother's place. Love the plants at the RV. hugs, eli and laura
