Orlando Florida

Friday Dec 11, 2015:  We left Jacksonville at 9:00am, drove about 135 miles to a City park in Orlando.  A bit of traffic around Orlando but all in all a good trip.



This park in on Turkey Lake, it has a small laundry, bathhouse, pool, a children's farm, boat rental and walking paths.  all for $17 a night!

We walked around the area



it was very quiet walk, we did see a number of birds but not too many people.

Saturday Dec 12:  we went NW of our location to


we spent the day birding by walking and by car.

It was really a great day although it was a bit humid...  So glad we walked in the morning then drove in the afternoon.

Dinner at NYPD Pizza.. it was pretty good and close to our camp.

Sunday Dec 13:  Warm night.. had to have the A/C on last night.  After a nice walk around the park it was time for laundry..  Seems like all we do is laundry,  I am assuming I wash just as much at home but I don't have to babysit the laundry.  oh well, it has to be done and it all got done in just over an hour..

Our campground is filled with Dog people.  The Euchanaba (misspelled) dog show is going on this week.  The people we met were so nice and love their dogs and showing them off.

Off to a nice little lake in Downtown Orlando.  Lake Aola park, and it just happens they were having a farmers market.  too bad we had eaten lunch at home..
