Beauty And The Geek

Halloween is that special day that you get to dress up as whatever your fantasies desire. There are endless options as to what you can be, limited only by one's imagination. Is it odd when two people dress up as what they are normally? Yea, odd.

Ang and I went to the Sun N Fun Halloween party on Wednesday night as the Beauty and the Geek. Was not a real stretch for us, character wise, but when you live in a 400 square foot home on wheels, a bin of costumes is not a real high priority. So, we were forced to simply stretch reality some. It worked for us.

[More:]

The party was pretty fun. We arrived fashionably late (as normal), and the party was rockin when we got there. They had a DJ playing everything from The King to The King of Interplanetary Funksmanship (George Clinton - Atomic Dog - woof). Our park neighbors were jammin out, and there were some cool costumes. Which, again, brought up that question about who caries costumes in an RV, and why?

Ang visiting with the props, and Arlene and Miles

We met some cool people at the party. Miles and Arlene are Canadians (eh) that come down to Sun N Fun each year for their vacation. I presume that golf and sunshine is a pretty big draw when you live in the Great White North :) They were great to hang out with, and we all ended up back at our pad for a bit at the end of the evening. Ironically, Miles is in the automotive business (sorry, couldn't resist) and was interesting to visit with. We are hoping that we will be able to hook up with them again before they head back home.

One of the spas, Ang poolside, and looking up the road from our place

Sun N Fun has lived up to their name so far, and we have been enjoying our stay. We have gone over to the pool side bar and grill a few times for lunch, and have sampled their pool fare once or twice. The park has a real nice, Florida feel to it, and is pretty close to the Gulf coast. We made a trip out to Longboat Key the other day for lunch, and plan on going to Siesta Key tomorrow for some beach time.

Our site is pretty close to all of the action, so it is a quick walk to everything. We hope to use some more of the facilities soon, as they have plenty to offer. Most of my week has been pretty focused on work, however, but will try to manage my free time a bit better so we can become shuffleboard champs!!

I am going through withdrawals because I am not able to wash our coach in this park. I hate that rule. I don't use gross amounts of water when I wash, and my coach is a dirty little pig. Maybe I spend too much time looking at it, but it bums me out to see her so dirty. Just noticed today that a big 5th wheel pulled in across the way from us that is advertising a "waterless car wash" product. Maybe I will stroll over tomorrow to see what their deal is.

Hi Kevin, hope you don't mind but I gave a guy named Jason your URL on our RV chat last night (rv-dreams.com). He wants to start RVing and he and his wife will work from their rig. I told him I know that you do so he'd like to talk to you about it.

Great costumes by the way, good thinking! I don't know of anyone who would carry costumes in an RV with them.

For some reason the Site/URL won't accept my blogspot URL. Oh well!

Hey Kev,
Love the costumes that you and Ang wore. Looks like a good time. While you are in the area of Sarasota you might like to wander around a bit. I know hubby and I do while we are there every year in October for a couple of weeks. Jump on 75 south and take exit 205 on Clark road and go west to the end of it. It will turn into Stickney Point somewhere close to the Trail. Anyway, follow to the end and turn left on MidnightPass Rd. Go about 2 1/2 miles and on the right you will find a very small campground called TurtleBeach. The county just bought it last year but you will find a part of "Old Florida" that is disappearing very fast. We have so many good memories of this park. While there , go across to the Pub and have a grouper sandwich that is one of the best found!!!

Hi Love Birds,

How interesting and fun you are. So
glad you came to Sarasota to visit.
Looking forward to spending the
holidays with you and wondering
what D Day will bring. :).

know who have a business card to-
gether, could this be a wedding bell
sign? ... :).
