Central Florida pass #2

This "winter" in Florida is definitely wetter and windier than last year -- though it is still pretty darn good given the cold, snowy, icy pounding most of the rest of the country is getting! Luckily, we still managed to find enough nice days to do some minor Max maintenance and cleanup.  Did you know that using toothpaste to polish headlights really works?  Turns out you need to pick your toothpaste carefully, but heck, the internet really knows everything!  We also managed to repair our own hot water heater (a ground wire got loose), clean out and repaint some "basement" bays that had some minor surface rust, and apply some sealant to window frames.  Like a house, there is always something to do to keep things operating properly.

Our last weeks have been spent in Lake Louisa State Park in Clermont, FL -- only a stones throw away from a collection of cousins and an Aunt/Uncle of Jeffrey's.  We managed to see almost all of them spent a nice evening at a Windermere charity event tasting and drinking samples from top notch restaurants and wine distrubutors (picture of us taken there below).


We are now enjoying our last week in the area with my Dad and Sheila here near Orlando.  They are using "timeshare" points to put us all up in style and a lovely resort near the "attractions" and we all have sore legs from exploring Islands of Adventure and Epcot the last two days.  Thankfully the weather cooperated and my Dad can finally lay claim to his very own Harry Potter "wand" (which he has been talking about getting for over a year now). They also enjoyed seeing Max for the first time.  Hopefully they won't be too bored when we drag them to Camping World later today to pick up a special electrical plug we need for a upcoming RV rally. Ah, the fun never stops!



Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
