October 15 – 23, 2006
We decided we would head to Mom’s via the west coast of Florida. We enjoyed our stay in Fort Myers Beach last February, so we thought we would go there again.
Our friends, Mary Jane and Dave Mulaski stayed at the Siesta Bay RV Resort a few times and we visited them while they were there. We wanted to give the place a try. It was GREAT! (It seems we think everyplace is great!!!!) The park is a combination of homes and RV spots. Pictured is our site.
It was a very very friendly place and we met people very quickly, especially tennis players, many who even knew Mary Jane and Dave. They had a round robin tennis match for anyone who showed up every morning, so when we showed up every morning, we had instant friends. Pictured are some of the people we met. Since it was still early in the season, many “snowbirds” had not yet arrived, so the group is smaller than during the winter season.
Joni decided to join the pool volleyball games held everyday in the larger of the 2 pools. Again, new friends were made. See Joni in the middle of the back row on the left.The games were good because a small section of the pool was used which made each person’s coverage small and there were 10 people on each team. It made it a lot easier to play. AND THE MEN DIDN’T HOG THE BALL!
During her daily bike ride, Joni noticed a strange object “floating” along in one of the lakes in the park. It was an alligator. Joni did not want to kayak with the alligator this time. She may never do that again! The lake is right next to the tennis courts.
We enjoyed our stay and again, didn’t want to leave, but on the Mom’s……….(just 2 hours away).
