This would be a picture of my happy husband as he walks out of the Sun Coast RV store in Jacksonville with a new crank (only $10)! Yea!

Day 5 - 1/7/10
Lovin’ it here in Orlando. Somehow all the palms make it seem warmer than it is -- they just look warm. The campground we’re staying in (Bill Frederick Park at Turkey Lake) is gorgeous and we hardly notice all of the gargantuan buses around us (not!). Lemon, orange and Clementine trees are all around us and full of fruit that needs to be picked before it freezes (a dirty job but someone has to do it). Beauty and free food - what more could we want? Okay. . . maybe a little warm weather would be nice.
Me climbing in a clementine tree - just trying to rescue the fruit before it freezes.
Enjoying the fruits of my labor (tee hee)
Trying to stay warm takes lots of fleece
We’re one of two pop-ups in the whole campground. Funny enough the other PUP houses a homeschool family as well. I have to tell all my homeschool friends – this family homeschooled all 11 of their kids (nope, no typo there!) in New Hampshire before any of the schools even knew what to do with homeschoolers. I bowed down to this mom (who looks not a day over 40). She’s one of our pioneering moms who paved the way. They have the same PUP as ours though it’s seen a little more action, understandably so. They only have their “babies” with them on this trip – the three youngest – 19, 18, and 16. I’m amazed at how sane and young the mother is – I promise to try and figure out her secrets. Scott wants to interview them. . . . we’ll see.
We stopped briefly in St. Augustine on the way down to Orlando. We didn't spend a lot of time because we didn't want to set up the PUP in the freezing dark - not fun. But we were able to stroll down St. George Street and walk over to the oldest port in the U.S. We even got to see the oldest wooden schoolhouse in the U.S. (not much different from the pubic schools of today. . . just kidding).
