Not an April Fool’s joke, but we’re taking to the road again after 6 months in Yuma at Sun Vista RV Park.

It’s with mixed emotions that we head out. We have an arduous journey ahead to get to Cape Coral FL with 400+ miles a day to tow, which I’m dreading. We had a great time with all the activities and the fun people we met at the RV park, which makes me sad to leave. But I’m looking forward to seeing our friends from Britain who are vacationing in Florida, and of course getting back to Michigan to see family and friends there too.

Highlights of our 6 months in Yuma included:

• Playing flute (Gwen) and drums (Ray) with the in-park jazz band and Katie and the O’Daddies bands
• Jam sessions at our site with friends
• Making a lap quilt to donate to a local charity with the quilt club and getting quilting lessons
• Weekly organized hikes in the desert, and a night hike seeing scorpions
• Enjoying Yuma events like howling at the moon, Tacos & Tunes, Tamale Festival, Balloon Festival
• Fun workout classes like aqua aerobics, walking aerobics, tai chi cha
• Friday night dances, and even Ray got out on the dance floor!
• Meeting great people!

We hadn’t been to a 55+ resort before and had no idea what to expect, but it’s basically like a cruise ship with so much to do and kind of a partying vibe. Too fun!
