Seffner FL - finally!

June 3, 2016

We picked up the car and stayed a few more days at Lakeside RV Park in Livingston LA.  It was a quiet and relaxing few days because the next few weeks would be plenty busy.




So once again headed toward Seffner FL, fingers crossed that nothing else would hinder our travels.

We arrived at Lazydays on Friday June 3 and parked our motorhome in their parking lot and went to a motel for a few days.  On Saturday, our 2 beagles and cat went to the kennel PartOfTheFamilyKennels.com so we could give our full attention to our consultant on Monday.  They were so excited they didn't even say goodbye!  Meanwhile, we found out that our RV refrigerator was not working on propane, so we emptied it out and packed the fridge at the motel and a cooler for the rest.  And added the fridge to the list of repairs.  

We spent time at the campground  


And the repair bays  


Endured lots of rain

 

We waited for the warranty company came out to inspect the coach and they approved of almost everything.  So we waited while parts were ordered and the work completed.  From the Repair Shop to Chassis Shop and Cabinetry Shop, everyone did a great job.

We saw this:

I was curious so I looked it up.  Turns out it's a mobile eyeglass lab run by the Glazer Family Foundation which was created by Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Malcolm Glazer.



On July 11, we were finally off to 
Whitney Point NY.
See You Soon!

More in Baton Rouge

May 16 - June 1, 2016. 

Well we went to Lakeside RV Park a few days after we arrived at the Ford dealership.  At first, our service manager didn't think it was too serious and hoped we'd be out of there by the end of the week but after the technicians has time to look at the car, they determined that the transmission was totally burned up.  They talked to Corporate to see if they should repair or replace the transmission and clutch.  Turns out they decided to replace everything, which is good (and quicker).


We rented a car and moved out to Lakeside RV Park in Livingston, Louisiana.  After the problem we had with the slides and CoachNet sent someone out, Lakeside Park pulled some strings and let us stay in the monthly section on the lake.  So we moved the next day and settled in until the car was ready.  We also moved our appointment with LazyDays to Monday June 6.  
We're hoping to keep that appt!


It was a great decision as it was much better than dry-camping in the back lot of the Ford dealership.  We loved the place and made a lot of friends. One day we took one of our dogs to the vet to renew his Rabies shot and met our neighbors from across the way.  Small world...

Two pair of geese decided to make the lake their home, 1 pair had a couple babies.  They all stayed together, then one day they were gone.


Am I am posting about food?  
Because I saw a Tasty video and it was so good!

We finally got our car back and stayed a few more days.


We loved Lakeside RV Park and will always have fond memories of the park and the people we met.

While we were there, I relaxed and 
did my first Tangle.  


We ate shrimp and crawfish.




The last day there, our neighbor Deborah brought us Boudin balls and sausage.  I feel terrible we didn't sample the local cuisine sooner!  All the more reason to return, as it was most delicious!


Onward to Tampa!


And the adventure continues!
