Happy New Year from Florida

Happy New Year everyone!  We had a very mild New Year, in fact both Bryce and Trent fell asleep before the midnight.  Jake, Rees, and I toasted the New Year with sparkling white grape juice!  Friday and Saturday Bryce and Jake spent the day at the PGA learning center, I think they would have spent the night if they let them.  You pay one price and can hit as many balls as you want.  They were in heaven.  Trent, Rees, and I went to find a manatee in the wild, and guess what, we were lucky and got to see one hanging out around the power plant/manatee center area in Fort Pierce.  I think we spent an hour just watching this manatee hang out by the  warm water.
Monday we left Fort Pierce and headed to Dade City Florida.  We arrived at the Travelers Rest Resort here and just so happens our jack motor broke and we could not lower our camper in order to get it leveled, so we had to have someone come fix it.  Luckily they had someone here to fix it.  What a score on the campground...we are backed up to their nine hole golf course, what a view.  Dad, you would love this place!  This place is run by volunteers, the people who live here year round.  That is turn keeps the cost down (it's one of the cheaper places we have stayed) and the place looking beautiful.  They have their own TV channel that scrolls through all the activities that are taking place and their own newspaper they put out, boy there is not one thing missing.  They have a huge heated pool and spa, post office, laundry, their own fire department, tennis, golf (of course) just to name a few.  They had a welcoming committee that came around and talked to us and gave us some goodies.  I think it will be a wonderful 2 weeks here, may not want to leave!
