No we haven't moved since the last post. Our location is really in Mayport, not Jacksonville, although Hanna Park is owned by the city of Jacksonville.
Rain continued for the rest of Tuesday and into Wednesday morning. About 10 A.M., the sun took over the skies and the weather has been wonderful since then, although very cool for northern Florida this time of year. Forgot to mention that when we arrived at Hanna Park, a bicyclist welcomed us to the area with two tangerines.
The campground still had plenty of empty spaces until Friday. By Saturday afternoon RVs and lots of tent campers had occupied almost every site. Hope the tenters had a heat source with them!
We've enjoyed our visits with Karen and her family. We celebrated Thanksgiving at Jim Steele's home with Jim, Laura, Tim, Ava, Mark, as well as Karen's family. A bountiful meal was enjoyed by all - Roast turkey, oyster dressing, macaroni & cheese, green beans, brussel sprouts, mashed potatoes, mashed parsnips, rice casserole, vegan casserole, gravy, cranberry sauce and baked sweet potatoes. Later we enjoyed dessert - pumpkin, apple, and pecan pie, along with cherry tarts and carrot cake.
Friday, we went to lunch at Singleton's Seafood Shack - a highly recommended restaurant in nearby Mayport on the inter coastal waterway. Inside the tumble-down looking restaurant, you'll be served large potions of fresh seafood and may even see the boat that delivered it. This may have been our fist visit to an eatery that's been featured on the Drive-ins, Diners, and Dives TV show, and it was definitely worth the visit. Lots of campers came into the campground today, including the spots around us.
Saturday, we did some chores around the RV. The electrical tow cable between Little house and the HHR was damaged on our last move. It operates the car's turn signals and brake lights from Little House when towing the HHR so we want it repaired before we tow again. Despite Hank's best efforts, he couldn't get it to work, so he made an appointment at General RV Center in Jacksonville on Wednesday to have this problem addressed. The rest of the day was spent enjoying Karen and Sean's hospitality.
Yesterday morning (Sunday) Karen and Samantha came to visit our Little House, then we went to the Steele residence for more visiting.
We'll be at Hanna Park until Wednesday morning.
