On The Road Again - Tampa and Warm Weather here We Come

Sunday morning at 7 am and 28 degrees, the Walker family piled into Little Red (new name for the RV) and off we went out of the Cove (name for community I live in) en route to Tampa Florida.. I'm telling you it was cold. I had Daisey and Lacey next to me and wrapped them in their little blankets to keep them warm and I put a quilt around my lap to keep me warm. Although it was cold the ride was smooth and without incident.  It was a beautiful morning.  You could see the sun trying to come out and the frost on the grass was glittering. Picture perfect.  Johnny had his country music on the radio and was really enjoying the quietness of the new rig and the air brakes.  Because we were going to loose an hour and it was Sunday and football was on tv, we decided to stop at 2 pm so we could get set up and Johnny could watch his game and I could write on my blog.  We found a KOA Camp Ground, and yes I am partial to KOA's, and got a spot right away.  They always have super nice people working there, they escort you to your spot and this one picked up your garbage for you.  But we hit the jackpot this time.  A few minutes after arriving there was a knock at the door and one of the guys had brought us a box of 4 huge, warm, chocolate chip cookies.  They also had Hunts Brothers Pizza and delivered to your site.  So guess what we had for dinner. Johnny went to his tv to watch his game and I turned on my tv and set up my computer, but only had 30 minutes for free wi fi and never got to work on my blog.  The night got pretty cold and I hated walking the dogs for me and for them.  When we woke up this morning it was about 35 degrees and Florida was looking better and better.  We took our time having breakfast, packing up and finally departed around 9 am.  Late for us, but we have no time schedule and I hate being rushed.  So off again on I75 southbound towards Tampa.
