Trip To Camping World

Monday the 22nd

Today we had a late morning.It rained most of the night so all our outdoor carpets, chairs, etc., were soaked. But the sun was supposed to come out a little bit and the wind die down so we decided to head on up to St Augustine and look for a new table top barbecue.

We did some research online and settled on the Coleman Grill at $80 which was available at Camping World. I got directions and we headed up A1A along the coast. We passed Marineland (the town) where they have an Oceanarium dedicated to dolphin preservation and research. Further on we cut over to I-95 and continued north, some more, and even further, until at last we pulled off the freeway just a few miles from Jacksonville. Low and behold our exit also led us past two huge factory outlet malls before getting to Camping World. Tina was pleased... more shopping opportunities!

We parked and walked into the store to look at the barbecue. I wasn't very happy with the quality of the Coleman so we looked at several others before settling on the Weber Q100, a nice size and substantial construction too. I also got a set of awning clamps, ground screws and tie downs for windy conditions. Tina spotted a repair kit for our front window curtain tie backs to replace the velcro with snaps.

On the way home we swung off I-95 onto SR 1 and drove to Bunnell where we stopped to check out the Straight Shot Billiards Club. Very nice, we'll definitely make a trip over to shoot some. Since it was getting late, we headed home to feed and walk the dogs. After taking care of the kids we drove back into Flaggler Beach and went to dinner at a small cafe where they were having Greek night. We both ordered the special, Pastitsio, which came with a cup of soup, a big greek salad and flat bread. It was delicious but we couldn't eat it all, so took the leftovers home for lunch.

Quiet night, the rain had stopped and the wind was down. e watched a little TV and went to bead.
