We like to leave on a Sunday early, as that's a good time to travel, most are staying home early in the morning, so we get through the city area's before people start hitting the road. Tampa be the next city we'll want to get through on our way north, out of Florida. Heading towards Yuma, Arizona. We hope to visit a few places we haven't seen before, so much to see along our way.
We have three weeks to get to our destination, but really I'd like to get there a little earlier, just get settled in before we leave our home for the cruise. On our way we hope to meet up with friends that are traveling east, not sure where yet, they are in New Orleans area now, so be interesting if there heading further east after the Superbowl.
We had a casino night here last night, was really lots of fun, after entering the setup casino in the sugar shack, I headed for the poker table right away, after awhile, when we got enough players we started, John the dealer always something to say, or ask people, "Where ya from?" That went around the table till we all got settled, then game as always was fun. Polly sat in on poker too, first time she's playing since we been here, kinda a men's table here on Tuesday and Thursday. Although she would be welcome, she just didn't wanna go as the only woman at the table.
7pm till 10 pm, went by real fast, with stop's for calling out ticket numbers for envelopes from the money tree central in the hall. Many winners were called, I even won an envelope, $25, was a bonus. All our play money was spent, I started using Polly's $$ at the end, I ran out. No use keeping the money, as wasn't worth anything at the end, just a really fun night. The draw at the end was a 50/50 and the winner was John the owner of the park. He donated his winnings to the wounded warriors, so the whole amount went to the wounded, was over $1000.00, that was applauded by everyone!
The final draw was won by a woman, that jumped up quickly saying mine, I got it showing her ticket, happy as ever.
All in all a really fun night was had by all, 10pm we all helped put away the casino game tables, and chairs and tidy up the hall, then before ya know it we were walking home, and talking as we walked about what Sunday was going to be like, Super Bowl today!
The game will be watched by the Tiki hut, and I'm thinking in the sugar shack too. Another fun time I'm sure, Polly already talking about the commercials, the excitement of the day. Also the possibility that the game is rigged for the Chiefs, I've heard this a lot lately, but my comment always, "Well see" never know till the game is on.
Early get up today, planning our route outta here, above Tampa be best stop, away from the city.
Bird's chirping now, just starting to get light out, halfway through my second cup of ☕ now, won't be long an be bright out. I'm going to walk earlier today, gets warm fast now. Be another fun day here, 6:30pm eastern time game starts. Could last late night 😃 will be a good game I'm thinking, see how it goes. I have no clue who will win, and no favorite.
Another day at the Hook, all good 👍
Retirement! Sure do love our life ❤️
