We have left Red Bay and are heading back southwest toward Texas. Not too sure if we'll see anything we've not already seen.
If we see anything fun or unique along the way we'll be sure and post it.

April 20th from Jasper to Red Bay, Al
Yep back to Red Bay.... we like it soooooo much! Had a leak that was created when the work was done in Dec so we wanted them to correct that before heading back toward Texas.
Spent a couple days in Red Bay and did the factory tour again.... always fun to see the work in progress and hear all the newest changes.

April 16th moved from Clermont to Jasper Fl
Hey guys we made our way north up I75 toward I10 headed back to Red Bay, Al.
Our work that was done back in Dec ad some issues and we have had a little water leak in the fresh water tank and think the tank may have been cracked with the reinstallation.
The park here in Jasper is AWESOME.... We prepaid for 3 nights camping when we went to the Tampa RV Super show as these guys were one of the vendors there. We prepaid for 3 nights at $20 a night... cheap camping by the standards we have seen on this trip so far.
Our site has a nice paved patio with carpet, a sink, grille, hammock and a hot tub, yes a hot tub! Oh I forgot to mention an outside fire pit with nice seating area.

April 2nd we moved from Cape Canaveral to Orlando and Thousand Trails
WOW, the Thousand Trails park in Orlando is really nice. Of course we've paid for this sometime ago, but it is a sweet deal to sit here for weeks and it not cost anything for lot rent.
We did make it to Disney and we bought a 3 day pass allowing us to explore 3 different parks. I now understand why at least 2/3 of the vehicles on the road are mini vans!! I figure to be fair that every familiy consisted of 2.5 children and then there were those that greatly exceeded that by 5, yes 8 kids can you imagine??
Just going to Disney was enough to break a bank, but it was a lot of fun, at lest for me. Terry did not ride any of the fast and fun rides with me, but I certainty did take the time to enjoy them. Out of the 3 parks we visited, Magic Kingdom was the most enjoyable for the two of us. It was the largest park, had more attractions and rides and just felt more like the Disney I think of. It also had plenty more people to go along with the larger park size, too many, really. Although I really liked Magic, hands down, the best ride was the Rocking Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios which also featured Aerosmith music throughout the building and then thumping in the coaster car during the ride too, it was awesome. The most hopped ride was also at Hollywood, it was The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror...the name kind of says it all. It featured a 13 story drop from the hotel tower. It lifted me completely off my seat and I had to grip the seat belt to stay in my seat. Unlike other rides, it only had a lap belt and no shoulder belt, so the experience left you in the air so to speak. I was a bit dizzier than usual for a good 20 minutes after that drop. After 3 days we were all Disneyed out, not to mention walking...we put in 13 miles the first day and over the 3 days we walked over 30 miles total. That is like walking from our old house in Las Colinas to Dallas for a night out on the town and then walking back home. Well we got our exercise for those days covered.
