Was going to surprise the wife with a Discovery Cove day, it would have been almost $700.00 for the 3 of us. She said there is no way we are paying that much for one day. We bought Seaworld tickets instead. $255.00 dollars. 3 tickets and all day dining for 2. That was over half off regular price tickets and a discount on the dining plan thru the special military portal. Going to do a Lyft from the campgrounds to Seaworld and back.
Went to load the golf cart last night and the battery was dead?? I put my battery charger on it so I will load it and strap it down tonight. I guess I need to take the battery charger just in case, taking my jump box and an air hose too. I turned the fridge on to start cooling down. The wife is making a run today to get some more supplies and I will load them tonight along with mine and little mans clothes. I ordered my Jedi costume from Amazon and it will be delivered tomorrow, I almost forgot I need one for the halloween party.

Got the golf cart loaded and strapped down, now the fridge is acting stupid. I had it on AC all day yesterday and checked it last night and nothing, switched to LP last night and nothing this morning. Changed it back to AC and we will see tonight. We have a huge cooler so no worries. Gives me a good excuse to switch to a residential fridge next summer.
Decided to buy a mini fridge to get us thru this trip. The big fridge seems to work just fine when we are on 50 amp service.

I bought a mini-fridge at lunch, will put between the couch and the dining table in the motorhome. Putting in whatever I can tonight to limit loading tomorrow morning. Called the campground and they said they will be open tomorrow so I guess it's still a go for departure tomorrow AM. Got my rain suit incase I have to hook up in the rain Saturday night. Sundays forecast for the Fort looks good.

The view right outside the motorhome
Blew a drivers front tire on the way down, 5 hours later and a grand less in my account we were on our way again. The Mickeys not so scary party went great. It rained at the park before we got there and again while we were there. We were inside waiting to see Jack Skellington and Sally so we were dry. Not a ton of people and we got a lot of candy.
Tuesday we went to Hollywood studios and rode the skyliner and slinky dog roller coaster, wife says that both are a one and done for her. We went to Star Wars land and we built 2 droids, little built one and I built one. Wednesday was Sea World day, my wife’s favorite park. Packed up yesterday morning and made it to the beach. Little man was having a blast. Wife said to add a day here so we did and go home tomorrow. Surf is too rough to swim in but little man loves playing in the sand anyway.

9 tornados here sunday night. 2billion or more in damages.
Ford hood is stripped, frame patches are made, just have to cut and weld them in. Core support bolts, i guess radiator and battery contributed to the only frame rot on the truck. So i have a roughly 2x4 inch area to cut out and weld in new metal. then the frame is ready for paint.

My little man having the time of his life.
Finally got home after about 10 hours of driving, I was exhausted. The wife got motion sickness because of the motorhome rocking in the wind. We did not have any more issues on the highway thank goodness. Little man starting saying I want to go to the beach about an hour before we got home. We will again but not anytime soon! The wife really liked Rving and wants to help me do some updating to the motorhome. At one time she was talking maybe about doing it full time, not so sure about that one. Doing it all summer would be cool but not so sure about full time.

Rainy and very slow at work today.
Got the motorhome emptied out and ready to be put up for the winter. I have to winterize it real soon because I know freezing temps are probibly not too far off. I seems all the roof maintenance I did over the summer paid off and there are no leaks on the inside!!
