Winter Garden, FL

Decided to find out where we were going to need to go on Monday when we have our appointment at Josam's to get the motorhome aligned. First though, we had to drive to the AAA office to pick up the Florida Tourbook that they forgot to give me when I was there the other day! It was 16 miles from our campground to AAA. It took us more than 45 minutes to get that far! We never saw anything to make it take so long, but there was lots of traffic and lots of lights! I finally called them to see if they would leave the book outside if I didn't make it - I did make it...with only a minute to spare! Florida traffic on Saturday sucks!

From there it wasn't too bad finding Josam's, but it was even easier to get to the motorhome! Before we went home I decided to drive through the historical district of Winter Garden. There was a small museum and an even better Railroad Museum. The museum curator for the Railroad Museum was a neat guy to talk to and Don was able to tell him of some of our visits to various Railroad Museums in our travels and those while in California. Trust me when I say he had lots of things in a small place! At the Winter Garden Museum we discovered that on Jan. 23, 1998 a TORNADO came through and created a wide path of destruction! TORNADO? We thought only hurricanes were in Florida! Between museums we stopped at Downtown ?? for an ice cream. It was pleasant sitting outside and interesting to see all the people riding through the middle of town on the bike trail. The bike trail is where the railroad used to run through town!

Went back to the motorhome and waited for awhile before barbecuing hamburgers! It took awhile since we weren't very hungry after having ice cream, but boy, was that ice cream worth having! :-)
