glacier_kittyYesterday we got to the campground we're staying at near Vero Beach (thankfully nothing broke this time haha). After we got settled we went over to grandpa's friend's house and talked for awhile and had dinner at Texas Roadhouse. The music was WAY too loud, but at least the food was good :P
Today we had breakfast and met up with more of grandpa's friends (all of them are married). They had 9 motorcycles, an RV, a tractor, a boat, a fancy sports car, a model oldish car and a Model T. WTF..where does one get that kind of money from?? Haha. The lady gave me four books to read from her "extras" shelf haha (she buys her favorite books from a used bookstore to give to people haha. There are customers at my bookstore that do that too :P). I hope I have room in my suitcase for all these books haha. After visiting with them grandpa drove over to his old house (I loved that house, I was sad when he sold it). That must have felt weird to him haha. It didn't really look that familiar to me though (the only thing I recognized in the area was a treasure museum I went to haha). We also checked out the beach for about 20 seconds haha and found a couple caches. Grandpa's friend he was trying to get ahold of finally called him when he was in the bathroom..he was like "I'm in the bathroom, I'll have to call back, you'll never guess what I have in my hand! I have to put stuff away!" OMG HAHAHA. That is HILARIOUS. :P This couple we visited I swear must be superhumans. The guy (Doc) is 96 and the lady (Dolly) is 93. Doc takes no medicine at all and went skydiving on his 80th birthday. They live in an independent living facility and are in excellent health. You would NEVER guess they are in their 90s. They looked at least in their 70s or 80s. They even still drive. Dolly said she usually stays up till 12 or 1 AM!! I have never heard of an elderly person staying up that late haha! Doc is a World War 2 veteran..wow, not many of those left! It was really cool seeing them..I know people younger than them (like 60) who are in way worse health than them..wow. I bet they're gonna live to be 100. After visiting with them we went to dinner at Olive Garden..yayy! Mmm breadsticks and four cheese ziti. *drools* I feel so fat from this trip haha
Tomorrow we go back to Crystal River..good, I really need to do laundry :P

Wow,that's awesome that Doc and Dolly are still so fit and active, great for them!

That's CRAZY about all the stuff those guys have!! That does seem like they must have an awful lot of money. That's so nice that she gave those books to you! I also hope you have space in your suitcase for them haha. If you don't, you can always ship them out maybe :)
