Day Trip to Sun City,FL

March 29th - Monday - Rain - Power outages - Tornadoes - High 72 degrees

We were awakened several times last night with the sound of wind and rain and when we finally got up with the alarm this morning, we realized we had an interruption in our power. Lou started checking the amperage of our RV and found out we were not getting what we should have had, so we shut everything down and heard that there had been tornadoes around. As you can see from the picture everything around us was flooded and we had to walk through water to get to the car.

We ate a quick breakfast and drove out to the BX to make an appointment for me to get a perm tomorrow afternoon, then back to the RV to pick up Estee and we drove up to Sun City and spent a very enjoyable afternoon and evening with Lew and Joanne Niles. It turned very cold while we were with them. They had been picking strawberries and they sent a quart home with us, so tomorrow night, it will be fresh shortcake for dessert. We made plans to go camping with them at Ives Run this summer. Neither of us have camped there, so am looking forward to that, as they are such fun. They are also close neighbors of ours in Pennsylvania.

From the weather it looks like we are going to have some warmer weather by the end of the week and I think everyone around here is ready for it. I am hoping they will have warmer weather in North Carolina, as my grandson, Shawn and his wife, Maegan and their four daughters are leaving PA to spend spring break with our other grandson, Travis and his wife Noell and son, Wyatt at Cherry Point and it will be the first time the little girls have seen the ocean and Lou and I want them to have nice weather so they can enjoy themselves.
