HUDSON, FL: First Night

We had a leisurely start to our Saturday morning, but then it was time to get down to the business of preparing Little House for travel once again.  After a final "See you down the road!" to our friends, Dee and Jim Walter, we left Adelaide Shores RV Resort around 11:30 A.M. for the 120 mile journey to Hudson, FL,  north of Tampa.  The trip included hi-speed highways and slow in-town traffic as we avoided the interstates for a more interesting drive.  And once again, Hank had to stay alert to the very high winds on our route.  

After one stop for lunch, we arrived at Suncoast Designers around 3:30 P.M..  On Monday we will have the foggy driver's window on Little House repaired.  They provide free hookups on their property which includes 50 amp electricity, water, free fast wi-fi, and a dump station.There are several other motor homes here, but only one seems to be occupied.   We're hoping they will be able to complete the work on Monday.

After we got set up, we went exploring to search out a view of the Gulf of Mexico.  We had a nice excursion enjoying the scenery and beautiful homes, many built on canals with pools and docks at the rear of the house, We stopped at a waterfront park next to the Gulf and watched the waves breaking over the seawall due to the very high winds. We had dinner at La Bella Napoli, an Italian restaurant in Weekee Wachee, Fl.  It wasn't the type of restaurant you'd expect to find in the marshes of west central Florida, but the service and food was great and prices were reasonable.  

The rest of the evening will be spent relaxing, and enjoying computer time.
