Fisherman's Village

Up this morning and into the pool.  Like I mentioned previously I could get used to this life.  Having a nice warm pool right outside your on-suite is pretty awesome.

After lunch we headed to Punta Gorda which is a bit south of us to visit Fisherman's Village.


There was a Military Museum located just in the front entrance.  It is run by veterans and the old fellows there were more than willing to chat and talk about their experiences.  It is a very small museum but loaded with things to look at and read.  Admission was free but we left a donation to help keep the place going.

Lots of shops to browse through along the mall.  Mostly touristy stuff just like you would find at any other tourist spot and very expensive.  No money changed hands there with the exception of a t-shirt that Judy found for herself.  But lots of great interesting things for your viewing pleasure,

Take a look at the shark that Judy caught during the afternoon.  Pretty impressive Judy.

She was good enough to let us have our pictures taken with her catch.  Now we can pretend it was ours!!

Just so you know Tom doesn't have a mohawk!!  Just a result of some breeze coming in off the water. But he does look pretty cute.

After we finished we headed to Rick Treworgy's Muscle Car City.

There are over 200 classic cars spanning 80 years in 99,000 square feet of showroom.   Rick Treworgy owns all the cars himself.  We read that he had run out of places to hold all his cars to he bought an old Warmart location and turned it into a museum.  Must have a pretty impressive bottom line.

 Just so you are aware prior to entering this car museum Judy and I baled out of the jeep at a Bealls Outlet Store and let the boys go to ogle the cars.  We found some bargains and the boys picked us after they had finished at the museum.  They said the museum was well worth the entry fee of $12.00 each (less a $1.00 coupon we had).

Bealls is much like Winner's in Canada.  If you have the time to look through the racks you will like it.  They have lots of name brand items at greatly reduced prices.



We headed home to finish off another great day with dinner and a movie.  Life is Good!!

Until next time - safe travels.
