We arrived in Pinellas County, Fla on Saturday March 7. Ten days should be more than enough time to warm up the liver for what should be a great St. Patrick's day wedding. After 3 days I'm convinced we have found our soul-mate drinking buddies(just kidding). We are staying in Fort DeSoto park. Way to many rules...no alcohol,no more than 6 people on site at any time,no fires,curfew at 10 all visitors must leave. We followed almost all the rules. Guess which one we broke? Of course we broke the one about " visitors have to leave by 10". See what happened was 7 of us tried to put out the fire with beer and it took us till 10:05 pm to get that damn fire out.
Getting here was fun. Especially all the trips to Wal-Mart. We go to that place more on the road then when we are at home. I of course needed more golf balls. I forgot my trimmer so I look like grizzly Adams buy a trimmer. Princess forgot the trip was going to Florida and needs to dump the flannel pajamas. But most important of all was I needed to pick up a small blind spot mirror for the passenger side. At least that's what the cop who I ran off the road said I needed. Yes I actually went to move to right lane did not see him at all. He flew into berm then flew back out and pulled my sorry ass over. He was as scared as me and Karen. Nice guy though must have liked my selection of music and just scolded me and told me to go to Walmart. I think they got bigger fish to fry down here. Lesson learned...always have Frank Sinatra on radio and know where your local Walmart is.
Funny story..oh really. After 3 weeks it's time to do laundry. Bill drops us off in the hood assures us that we will be safe and don't worry to much about the let's say lack of whites in the area. This place took credit cards for payment. We loaded up 6 front loaders and started to do the dirty.
There was actually a restaurant down the street called POFOLKS.
Here's where it gets funny we get done and Karen gives the laundry Mama her American Express. Apparently if you have an American Express card in this neighborhood you are RICH and when it gets approved fast you are VERY RICH. At least that's what Mama told us. As you can see in the picture we kind of ran out of the hood before we were dry.

So we wake up Monday and I go online to pay some bills. One of the bills due was a life insurance policy. So I pay the premium and we go on with our day. Obviously the benefactor on the policy is my beloved princess. Now this is where it gets a little interesting. Suddenly our plans for the day are to go to the ocean(not sure which one) and FISH! All of my readers probably know that even the word " fish" sends me into a panic search for Benadryl.
No worries readers..she doesn't know how to dump the tanks in the camper.So I'm safe for now.
