Enchanted Lakes RV Resort, Malamar, FL

Today we traveled south thirty miles to this campground that had a site open for a whole week.  It is right on the coast so we plan on hitting as many beaches as we can!  

It is a Passport America campground and they allow two nights for half price, even now which is considered in season.  However, we went with their weekly rate which was even better.  Their monthly rates are good, so maybe a month here next winter?

All of a sudden it felt quite hot and humid so we set off for their heated pool!

This is a pretty little arbor at the entrance to the pool.

This is a shot of the pool with a little lake behind it.

This is a closer view of the lake that has several fountains.

So the pool was not heated today...not sure if it is because of the Significant amount of rain they have gotten over the last few days or what.  It was very cold!

Camping World, Cocoa, FL

Had a good old time browsing around Camping World!  So many useful things!  Here is what we bought:

Light bulbs

2 clear plastic tissue holders, one for near bathroom sink, one over my bedside table

Velcro to afix tissue holders to walls

Water filter

Egg slicer

Wall-mount key rack

Deodorizing packets for black water tank

Then onto Super Walmart and Publix ALL IN THE POURING RAIN!

Look who showed up right outside our rig!

The guy in the little rig you can see in the photos across from us just told us that the people in our site just before us used to feed them...they're still standing out there!

A day in Melbourne, FL

Today was a crazy mixed up day!  To begin with, it was gray, windy and rainy out, but we needed to search for a health food store to find flax milk, a staple in my diet.  We finally found one, and that's what originally drew us to Melbourne.  

We realized that my mobility scooter,  Sonic by Pride Mobility which I use for my MS whenever I want to zip around anyplace (my alternative is a walker for short distances) needed to be charged.  When Steve plugged it in he felt like the gauge that usually moves when he plugs it in wasn't moving.  That might mean it needed a new battery.  The last time we replaced it was about six years ago.

Right on my scooter is a website and a phone number, so I called the company up, and all they needed was our zip code and they told me the nearest dealer for this kind of scooter.  Turned out there was one in the Melbourne!  So off we went!

Since I wanted to plug in the GPS and the scooter charger into the cigarette lighter on the way to the scooter dealer, we took the device we have in the rig which allows you to plug in multiple plugs into one cigarette lighter.  Somewhere along the way today Steve smelled smoke, and we realized that it was coming from the cigarette lighter!  We quickly unplugged, and after awhile the burning smell dissipated.  We don't think any permanent damage was done to anything'. Phew!

When we got to the scooter dealer, Steve took my scooter out of the car and got it set up for me to ride in.  Funny thing was it was fully charged...so evidently he was wrong and the Battery was fine!  

Next stop was the health food store also in Melbourne.  We had a good time looking around, got some things for lunch and a few supplements, and SOME FLAX MILK (actually bought all they had!)

By this time we were feeling like it was time to go home.

Tomorrow is another day!

Sonrise Palms Christian RV & Rally Park

This park is in Cocoa, Fl, and was the only place that would take us for this weekend without any reservations.  We are technically in their overflow section, but we have W/E/S, 50 amp service and we are right next to the pool!  It is pricey but we didn't have a lot of choice...we would have dry camped at Walmart, etc. but it's quite humid (for me) so I really need to have the A/C.  We have reservations for March 1-7 someplace else but we needed something in the meantime.  

The weather is not supposed to be great this weekend so we probably won't do the beach here, but I am sure we can find other things to do.  For one, the road to this campground is directly across from a Camping World, and I also found a place on the tourist map they gave us that sells beads and jewelry making accessories at which I think I could find some things for my windchimes project.

Scrambling for Reservations

Today my step-mom and her husband came over to see our rig because they hadn't see this new one yet.  Then I went for a swim in our pool here at Port St Lucie RV Resort.  Next came a scramble to procur reservations someplace where it would still be warm!

We finally found a campground in Cocoa, FL for Thurs, Fri and Śat, and then a campground in Malabar, FL for the whole next week!  It's most likely going to be a rainy weekend, but be beautiful next week and our campground is right on the coast!  

Visiting with friends in Stuart, FL

Today we spent the day visiting with friends Joe and Karen & Paul and Joanne.  The day started with visiting at Joe and Karen's house in Stuart, then a great lunch at Duffy's, followed by a walk along the boardwalk in Stuart by the water.  It was an absolutely gorgeous day, made better by spending it with good friends!
