Final month in Florida Shady Acres


Tour of Naples

 

Went for a boat tour out of Naples, thought it was going to be a dolphin cruise but arrived and were told it was a site seeing tour.  The day was beautiful, the price and company was good so we did a tour on the inside area of Naples bay and got a chance to look at some amazing homes.  Our guide was telling us that the majority of these are only used occasionally as these people all had several different homes.  One side of the cut had the multimillion dollar homes as they could get to the beach easily, the other side had to drive a long way around and were only worth around half a million – as they say location, location, location!!!

 

A few shots of gorgeous homes and a boat or two…

 

 

 

 

Easter Sunday

 

Had a different Easter than usual this year.  We went out to Matlache on Pine Island and found that nothing was open; we figured the small touristy shops would be open.  We were going to do that and then go to a bar on the island.

 

Last year we went with other friends to Burt’s bar and this year, we ended up at the Ragged Ass Saloon further up the Island.  Quite a few bikers hanging out but others as well – several of the people from the park with bikes would head out here for a get together, music later in the day.

We had lunch and a pint or two (& wine) then headed back to downtown Fort Myers. 


They have been working on rejuvenating the area for a while and it was completed in December 2013.  It was very quiet down there as well.  Good part about that is no problem finding parking for large truck which is what we all travel in.

 




Headed home and had quite dinner at our house with Jon & Eileen.
 
This is end of March and just about everyone has left the park or is leaving.  We are staying a couple of extra days so don't get in the mad rush on the highway or out of the park.  As we are only going to Venice, a couple of hours up the road, it is no big rush for us.
 
So have been saying goodbye to friends down here until next time.
