Coach Envy

The Outdoor Resort at Port St. Lucie resort did accept the promotional deal we found online without any hassle. The resort is lovely. There's a great clubhouse, three pools and hot tubs and a 9-hole par 3 that winds through the property. The trade-off for using the promotion is that they have just opened a new phase of this condo property and they put us on a site they hope to sell. When we took a walk around the owner sites that are rented, we found extraordinary hardscape, water features, outdoor kitchens and lovely landscaping. The promotion is worth well over $200, but you don't get all the bells and whistles that you otherwise might.

This is a Class A motor coach resort only....we like that. Except Rick now has "coach envy". Where our Georgetown coach is big, but understated, most motor homes here are on the very high end of the price range - many well over $1M. Here's a great site with a very nice coach, more than a dozen palm trees, lots of hardscape, circular drive and a beautiful outdoor kitchen. It's a wonderful idea if you like spending alot of time in one place. What appeals to me about this whole RV thing, though, is the ability to explore and discover.

Finally got a beach day. Perfect 85 degree weather. On the way to the beach we stumbled upon Pip's Tiki Grille....a bit of a wreck of a place that was just perfect and kind of islandy. Rick had their Famous Fish Tacos which has ever right to be called famous. I had a grilled Mahi sandwich which was very good...but Rick won this one.


Went to Jenson Beach which was mobbed on this Saturday ... nowhere to park. Ventured down about a half-mile and found Glasscock Beach ... plenty of room to park and wide open. There is no sign, so just keep looking to your right and after an apartment complex there is a tiny dirt road that opens into a generous parking ... pull in!


By the way, if you do come here, a car is mandatory unless you spend your whole time "on campus" which you certainly can do. FYI the beach is about a half an hour away.

When we asked about a great seafood market, we were told to go to New England Seafood Market. Thought that a bit odd name given that we are in Florida, but everything looked great. We're making a shrimp boil tonight...shrimp, potatoes, corn and andouille I found in the freezer from the jambalya...going to cook it in beer and Old Bay. We'll see!
