Another day of taking it easy. We stayed around the RV today doing not much of anything. I did some paperwork and trip planning for heading home. Judy just relaxed. The next thing we knew it was time for dinner. After appetizers, I grilled steaks outside on the grill and Judy made a delicious rice dish.
Tomorrow we are going to Oldsmar Days and Nights, the city's three-day annual festival and parade. The Oldsmar name dates to
April 12, 1916 when automobile pioneer and inventor of the Oldsmobile
and REO autos, Ransom E. Olds purchased 37,541 acres of land by the northern
part of Tampa Bay to establish "R. E. Olds-on-the-Bay". The
name was later changed to Oldsmar, then to "Tampa Shores" in 1927,
and finally back to Oldsmar in 1937.
A unique feature of the Saturday event is the display and participation in the parade by regional Oldsmobile car clubs that come from all over the south to display their vintage and restored Oldsmobiles. We went last year, had a great time and are going back tomorrow.
