Thanksgiving Day Parade

OK. OK. Macy's Thanksgiving parade it ain't, but here at the Thousand Trails Peace River Preserve in Wauchula, FL, the tradition of Thanksgiving welcoming in the Christmas season is alive and well. Being new full time RV'ers we probably should have stayed here and done the Thanksgiving pot luck with a couple hundred other campers to see what it was all about, but we opted to spend the day with our Cape Coral new residents group and our dear, dear friends and house sitters extraordinaire from Roatan who also decided the time had come to repatriate their lives for whatever reason. We had a magnificent day with all the old friends but the time approaches when all things must be new- on the road. Not that old friends are ever forgotten- they get better with age like fine wine (red anyhow)- but the vistas of the road will not be available to those who do not choose to view them with eyes wide open. And so we begin to open our eyes to new things.

But if you thought the holiday trappings were missing from the life on the road, feast your eyes on the Santa Claus parade at TT Peace River---
