We left GRAND LAKE RV AND GOLF RESORT and headed to the IRON SKILLET for their buffet breakfast. More carbs!
Then we got on the road to Delray Beach. We really didn’t do much today, except drive, drive, drive. We drove down I-75, stopping only for STARBUCKS (whee!). The only excitement of the day was that it started to rain and we’ve never driven the RV through rain before. In fact, the only time it rained in the last month was when we were visiting in New Paltz. We’ve never driven in it, and never been at a campground when it rained. I feel pretty lucky about that, because at most campgrounds you’re walking in woods on dirt roads and if it was muddy it would really be a BIG pain! The rain was very off-and-on and by the time we reached Delray Beach, the sun was shining and it was HOT.
We had a happy reunion with my parents. They were so glad to see us, safe and sound, and so excited that we would be staying with them for a few days. We're so glad to be with family again. We showed them the RV and caught up a little.
We had two packages waiting for us at my parents' (very exciting!). One was the small replacement door that fell off the RV. Eric had ordered it from CAMPING WORLD and had it shipped to Florida. The other package was all the mail our friends, Larry and Geri, had collected for us. We have had our mail forwarded to them since we left NY. That was something we were really worried about, since we knew we would be on the road for a long time and didn't yet have a real forwarding address. They were kind enough to let us have our mail forwarded and we even changed our address to their address in a few instances. They have been such fantastic friends, because they’ve been doing all kinds of things for us, letting me know about bills I need to pay, and just keeping us informed of everything that’s been coming our way. We REALLY appreciate it and know we are lucky to have such wonderful friends.
My parents had made plans for ten of us to go out to dinner tonight: our cousin, Edith, and her boyfriend, Sam, our cousin, Barnett, and his girlfriend, Gloria, my parents, and their friends, Marion and Mike. We went out to a great restaurant in Delray Beach called FRATELLI’S ITALIAN GRILL. The food was so good and the company a lot of fun. We laughed a lot and ate a LOT of garlic knots!
We are looking forward to relaxing with my folks tomorrow and then we have to bring the RV into the service center first thing Monday morning. We are hoping to get it back quickly, but you never know. The RV Drama continues!
