Some quality time at Jetty Park in Port Canaveral Florida.....

We spent a few nice days at Jetty Park in Port Canaveral Florida.  Wonderful park, great hookups, just a short walk to the open Atlantic.  We're made reservations to go back the 2nd week in July for a full week. Port Canaveral is only 30 miles or so from Christmas where we store our rig.  Click here to view a Google album, with some video, from this event.

Reflecting on our condition...just a little over a year after our relocation from CT to Florida.....

We “closed” on our Titusville town home on April 20th, 2012 (just a bit over a year ago) and since then….wow!  The world has turned upside down and sideways for us, in a good way.  Since that date we’ve prepared and sold our home in Preston, sold all three cars, set up our daughter here in our town home (she transferred with her employer to Merritt Island across the Indian River).  We’ve joined a wonderful new camping chapter (Space Coast Sams), have joined the Board of our Homeowners Association and have set up web sites for the Association and the Good Sam camping chapter.  Our Florida room indoor plants are thriving as are our outside border plantings to include a lemon and grapefruit.  Our friends from Seaport Sams “winter” here and we visit with them and really enjoy catching up with them and their news of Connecticut.  Today I had my first “local” dental appointment, with a dentist referred by a Titusville transplant from CT who had formally belonged to our CT Good Sam Chapter.  This marks something,  I don’t know what, as we’d already hooked up with a local medical GP, cardiology and the Veterans Administration in Viera.  Tony and his good friend Alissa have flown in to visit, and David will fly in a few weeks for a brief vacation.  Since the kids are coming here to visit, I think we’ll stick around here and camp locally and learn and see more about Florida.  Every day when I wake up and walk through our neighborhood with Kincaid I feel guilty…don’t know WHAT we did do deserve this but we’re VERY happy here with our new life.  If you’ve followed me on Facebook you’ve seen me gushing on the local theater offerings and how much we’re enjoying them.  Preston was nice….but Titusville is where our heart is, and we’re blessed for having found it.
