Florida Spring Training Trip 2016 - Day 8

When we got up this morning we decided we didn't feel like driving 70 miles to Tombstone and another 25 miles further to Bisbee - and then drive back after a day of sightseeing. And, we had to do the laundry when we got back.  As we get a little older it is becoming more apparent we need to pace ourselves a little more than we used to have to do in the past.  So, we went back to bed for awhile had a leisurely breakfast and did the laundry.  We'll save Tombstone and Bisbee for another trip.

It turned out to be a very relaxing day.  While Judy was waiting for the washer/dryers, I went to a nearby shopping mall and brought back lunch from a taco shop (real Mexican food!). After lunch poolside and after the clothes were put away, I drove over to the nearby Camping World for a few things and stopped for some supplies at the grocery store (Fry's). I thought Fry's only sold electronic stuff but it appears they have a big grocery store presence down here along with Safeway.  I also noted a cluster of gas stations selling gas for $1.25 per gallon.  It will be interesting to see how the prices fluctuate as we continue east.

We had dinner in the RV tonight and will go to bed early. After some consideration (minimal) we decided to skip the Valentine's Day sock hop at the recreation center tonight.

We have a 5-hour drive to Las Cruces, NM tomorrow.  The 10-day weather forecast ahead still looks good - dry roads and manageable wind.

We are also beginning to like the occasional R&R day concept as we travel.
