Here is an interesting set-up that we saw on 3/17/07. This is site #2001. When we went by we noticed that these campers had a small pup tent, a styrofoam cooler, and what looked like their suit cases laying out on the pad covered with ponchos. Talk about roughing it! Later we noticed a young couple hanging out at the site. They must have flown in and they did not have a car. But boy did it look like they were having fun! These two saved a ton of $$$ and probably ended up having a great trip!
Unfortunately, this photo doesn't really do justice to these folks' tow vehicle and trailer. The truck was jacked up high enough for a small child to walk under, and the trailer is a toy hauler. In this photo, the DW is looking for the perfect place to put her plastic flamingo. These people like to party!
Last Thanksgiving trip (This was the night it snowed in Orlando)
Too bad you can't really see our lights on the golf cart
Ok, so I fibbed a bit. I know how much all of you miss the Peacocks at Fort Wilderness, but that last picture is actually taken from the roof of my house...lol. We have wild peacocks in our neighborhood (live about an hour and a half south of Orlando), about 20-25 to be exact. This is one of the females (the males are the colorful one's). They are the same breed (Indian Blue).
As the sun goes down, you can always hear them making that cawing sound, ALWAYS reminds me of Fort Wilderness back before they got rid of them. When we found our house, the realtor was like "There is this weird bird down the street", he had never seen a peacock before. We knew then that this was the house for us, wild peacocks!!!
So, the DD got herself a Mater radio control car for Christmas.
The perfect toy for FW.
She was out in the loop playing with it, and DW asks, "what is all that racket out there-it sounds like someone is rolling a bottle in the street?" I go out to check, and the little genius has fished a beer bottle out of the recycling bin an hitched it up to Mater's tow line:
I'll bet the Millionaires who were over on the 1600 loop that weekend weren't having anywhere near this much fun!
