The camp site here at Hannah Park has a charcoal grill. We are more familiar with our gas grill at home or the small charbroil outdoor grill we had on the RV 1.0 trip. But we wanted to serve grilled chicken to our family on Labor Day. Most husbands are all about the grill, not Dennis. So I purchased match stick charcoal. That means it is already saturated with lighter fluid all you need to do is strike a match and let it burn. So, I set it up and lite the coals and we were in business for a “cookout.” Our son David has some experience grilling so he was happy to grill the chicken. It was yummy! Dennis & I are going to continue to practice grilling over coals while we are here in Hannah Park.
While the chicken cooked we set up a dinning tent. Have you ever put one of these up? Well after reading directions, looking at the pictures and two very kind women walking their dogs stopping to assist (they have one and have experience with the process) the tent was up around the picnic table. Thanks to David & Dennis getting the tent up it was so nice to enjoy outside dinning minus the insects!

Our adorable granddaughters Ava & Peyton enjoyed our cookout. They were so helpful in setting the table. They are growing up so fast. They walked with me to the "Happy Camper" store and we purchased ice cream to go with our home made fresh white peach cobbler. It was very yummy they said ! We spent the evening playing and reading books. Ava loves to read about the past presidents of America. So I got her a book about them all. Ava loves the new book. She can't wait to go and visit some of the homes of the past president's some day. Peyton loves "pigs" so her new book is "Oink." We are sure her love for pigs is due to the cute ones you see in the cartoons or great movies like "Charlotte's Web." They love Great Aunt Theresa's camper. They can't wait to come and camp with us.

We are spending our mornings riding at least 10 miles per day on “Nellie.” In the evenings we walk the beach. The ocean less than .5 miles from our camp site. An easy walk or bike ride. For those of you who aren't familiar with the park it's an ocean front park with all types of camping sites available. It is ran by JAX, FL city department. We are only a bike ride about 5 miles or less from David & Kat's house. So our grand children are not far away. Fun times!
During the day we are studying, looking for employment via computer and researching RV'S and even going and looking at them. This experience in the fifth wheel is much like a home experience which is a great thing. The fun times of camping but not primitive camping! We are really enjoying the outdoor room we have created with all the stuff that was available. The two inside sitting areas are very comfortable. IKEA is the place to shop for all your needs for small places. I see a shopping trip to IKEA in my future. Even though the RV'S are large it is the cleaver gadgets that allow you to feel you have as much space as your home. The good news is you have less space to clean less to maintain leaving more time for enjoyment of your hobbies or serving others.......Software
