After leaving Big Cypress National Park, we had 9 days and 700 miles before we were due at our next park in Alabama. So, we called Lazydays in Tampa FL. We bought our Journey at Lazydays in Tuscon last April and at the time they told us to take a look at their facility in Tampa if we were ever there. The Tampa people were generous and told us we could stay four nights in their RV park on the same property as their sales.
Well, the area of the RV Park they were talking about was the overflow parking lot, but we at least had electric hook-up and they gave us tickets for free breakfasts and lunches at their cafeteria. One day we heard music playing in our "parking lot," and so we walked around until we found the source. This man used the back end of this old Cadillac car as his stage.
He had a keyboard, guitar, and sound system all mounted in the Cadillac and played music all afternoon. I think he was practicing for a performance somewhere because the next morning he had loaded everything up in a big trailer he pulled behind his motorhome and was gone.
There is a restaurant on the Lazydays grounds that we ate at one evening. This is the outside entrance--the back of a motorhome!
On the inside, some of the booths were like the slideouts and booth dinettes in an RV.
The bar stools were made out of chrome tire rims and the cover over the bar was an RV awning.
The front of the restaurant ended up inside the activity center . . .
. . . along with one side of it, which had a door that opened into the center. It was quite an unusual restaurant and had really good food.
The park had a really nice, covered swimming pool. But, it was a little cool for us to get in!
It was kind of fun staying at Lazydays and we didn't succumb to the temptation of upgrading our little Journey, even though it was fun looking through all of the motorhomes they had for sale.
