We were greeted with some of the coldest days in recent Florida history this week. Now you have to put this in context since the lowest record temperature was 26F but still definitely not pool weather, so we made the best of it and got a lot of our shopping out of the way. Most of my time was spent sitting/sleeping/reading (yes reading) in the van while Chris hit all her favourite stores down here (and there are a lot of them!). We hit all the Bealls on 192, the one in Clermont on both Monday (over 50) and Friday (under 50 discount), one of the benefits of looking younger than your age. We also went to Florida Mall, WinterGarden Mall, and the Loop.
There many more stores (too numerous to mention) where all I heard was "Stop the car!!!!"
We also drove by the rental house we'll be at later next month (very nice) and stopped at Orange Lake to arrange for our next three weeks there. The staff was excellent and gave us all 3 weeks in the unit that we bought on ebay last year. They also arranged for Paul & Andrea to have the unit beside ours for the 2 weeks that they are here. Couldn't resist sitting at our spot on the Lazy River and soaking up the sun! Still cool although it almost reached 60F, but sunny and T-Shirt weather.
We saw these on the Orange Lake property when we were leaving.
Saturday and Sunday will be the low point ( highs in 40's), but it should all be downhill from there!
Cheers!
