Juno Beach - Day 9

Monday the 16th

Today is dedicated to chores – cleaning, laundry and shopping as we get ready to head to the Gulf Coast on Tuesday. After cleaning the inside of the coach while Tina did a big load (sheets, big towels, blankets, etc.) we finished the shopping list then headed for WalMart, which was just the other side of Jupiter.

Well, we passed through Jupiter, Tequesta and no sign of WalMart. By now we are about fifteen miles north and getting frustrated. We agreed that we had gone too far, so we turned around and headed back south. Stopping for gas, Tina went in and asked for directions. Turns out the store was only a mile past where we turned around, about five miles back.

So we turned around and headed back, found WalMart, parked and went inside to do our shopping. With the groceries loaded in the trunk I looked over my shoulder for oncoming cars and slowly started backing out. CRUNCH!! Dang, looking over my other shoulder I saw we had backed into a brand new Caddy who was doing the same thing. Seems we both tried to back out of our parking spots at the same time and met in the middle. Moving back into our respective parking stalls, we got out, inspected the damage and exchanged insurance info. The damage to our car was slight, but the Caddy was badly bruised. Well, these things happen.

We left WalMart and headed south to home. After packing the groceries into the coach I went out and used a little buffing compound to remove the scratches before calling the insurance people. Tina did a little more pick-up around the coach, put the laundry away then we made the bed. Later that evening we went to “The Fish house Restaurant” for dinner. Tina had the Whole Lobster dinner while I had a Seafood Stew. Both were very good.

By now it was about 7:30 PM so we decided to quit work for the day and finish in the morning.
