Today was our last day of travel. Yess!!! We have enjoyed the trip, but we are ready to settle down for a few months now. So are our cats!
Orlando, FL…
Here’s a shout out to my cousin, Steve!
I have heard of this place — The Holy Land Experience. I didn’t realize it is in Orlando. Maybe sometime we can visit it.
I’m not sure if this is Disney World or one of the other parts of that whole complex.
This Ferris Wheel appears to be even bigger than the Big Wheel on the waterfront in Seattle, WA.
Cute!
Just north of Tampa, we stopped at a truck wash to get a couple months worth of grime washed off our vehicles. We wanted to look presentable when we arrived at our new workplace.
They washed the RV…
…and the truck…
…and even the Harley!
Tampa, FL
A brilliant sky
I don’t have to tell you, we’ve been a little nervous about our new job. We prayed before we left St Augustine this morning that this place would be a good experience for us.
Pulling into Sun-N-Fun
We told the woman at the booth that we are the new bathroom cleaners, and she said, “Oh, you must be the Fullers!”
This woman led us to our campsite.
We just barely had time to get set up before it got dark. The woman at the booth had handed us a couple magazines, one of which lists all the activities in the park this winter. I was drooling as I went through that one. When Mark finished hooking us up outside, he asked if this place has a restaurant. It does. In fact, this place is like a small, self-contained city!
We drove over to the restaurant, and as we were getting out of our truck, a man asked Mark about his Harley. This man also owns a Harley, so Mark asked him where he can get some work done on his Harley. (This trip has not been kind to his bike.) The man recommended a place that is apparently only a couple miles away. We found out that the man is one of the chefs at the restaurant, so he led us to the entrance. He had found out that we are new staff, so he told us we get a 50% discount at the restaurant!
The restaurant is buffet style. When we told our waitress we are the new bathroom cleaners, she said she’s only been here since October and she loves it. We also got to meet her husband. They are new to Workamping. They seemed friendly.
As you can see, we were in our shirt sleeves, even after dark. It got up close to 80° today. We will probably leave our windows open all night.
After dinner, we decided to look around just the restaurant area and see what all is there.
There was a band playing outside.
This is the outdoor pool. There are also two outdoor hot tubs. One goes over 100* and the other only goes to 98*. This photo is facing toward the fitness center.

A yoga class in session
Mark was excited to see that they do a number of kinds of massage.
Another fitness room upstairs
Shuffleboard
A parking lot just for golf carts!
Miniature golf
Oh, yeah!
There are all kinds of classes that sound interesting, including a quilt group, praise line dance to gospel music, a writing group, a photography club, and much, much more. They have a church right here on the grounds and two different Bible studies, plus A Course in Miracles. Tomorrow we hope to go to the Welcome Newcomers gathering. I hope we’ll also be able to figure out where to go to find out what our work schedule will be so we can see what all we can fit into our schedule. This could be fun!
