... spending the night at Wesley Chapel FL

Another rough night, this time BB even left a list of issues in the room. The biggest being people. It was Saturday night in a tourist area. Sometime around midnight kids were knocking on doors. BB heard it, I didn't. Later BB heard people talking as they waited for the elevator that they had the same issue overnight. The elevator was right across from our door and we could hear all the conversations. Load and long, people arguing over the phone. People yelling at others down the hall. Long night.

No breakfast. I did have the one chicken leg that I hadn't eaten last night. Plan was to eat an early lunch.

1st stop is Lovers Key State Park. Cold, raining, we didn't expect much of a crowd. $8 per car admission. They do have a 'shuttle' to get people closer to the beach but we walked. Not too many people out, just a few hard core shell pickers. It seemed most groups had a pail or a bag to carry their finds.

2nd stop was Junkanoo At The Beach to eat. They have outdoor seating but they are not serving outdoors yet today. So we eat inside. The first time in almost two years. This place is not taking any visible precautions. They are seating people in adjacent tables next to the window with a view of the beach. The tables sitting in the rear are not being used.

Food and service was good. I had French Dip and potato salad. (It could have used more au jus.) BB finally got her fish taco's, it has been so long we can't remember where we were when she ordered them and they no longer made them.

We were in the building a little over a half hour, I think we have waited longer inside for our 'to go' food. The bar in this place was half in, half out of the building so there was some open air but we were not directly lined up with that area.

The sun had been out while we ate. We had thought about walking on the beach there but there was a security guard watching people come and go and the lot and the lot was almost full so we left to make more room.

For the first few miles after we left we were following a Lamborghini. Every chance they got they gunned it a little, even at 15 mph. Lots of people were turning their heads doing a double take.

We head to our next stop, as we get close to the causeway we see that it is a toll road. $5. And BB has already looked up the park we are heading to, $6. It is getting to be an expensive trip ... but we keep going.

3rd stop was the Lighthouse Beach Park. The part was better about this park was that there were trees along the beach to break the wind.

We walked here for about an hour, the cost was $5 an hour and we were not paying for two hours. There were places along the causeway where we could have stopped for free but we decided to keep going.

4th stop was at the Loves in North Fort Myers for a rest break. As we are going to leave a car leaving and a pickup coming in met bumper to bumper. After a few words, the person in the car blinked and got out of the way. Cop pulled in by the time we left, not likely related.

5th and final stop for the day is the Sleep Inn in Wesley Chapel for the night. We end up getting food from O'Brien's. Mine was a second French Dip for the day. This one was also good, and also did not have enough au jus. Fries were not so good.

No plans for tomorrow yet for work. We need to have the car back by 11 AM and that is less than two hours away.

Temps are supposed to get down to 30 degree's here in FL tonight. In MN the temps will be closer to -0- overnight.
