Mazzaro's Italian Market Restocking Trip

A must stop in St. Petersburg, FL is Mazzaro's Italian Market. It is a wonderful place to have lunch, then wander the aisles to see what new things you will discover...  

From fresh roasted coffee to the meat market, delicious deli selections, gourmet baked goods to handmade pastas and specialty cheeses, Mazzaro’s is more than a one-of-a-kind Italian gourmet market ....
 

 

Mazzaro's carries an amazing selection of hundreds of varieties of pastas - but it's their fresh pasta that steals the show

 

Ravioli,  Manicotti, Angel Hair, Fettuccini, Linguini.........

Ruskin, FL Tomatoes and More....

Our friend, Jimmy Booth, was our leader during our 2nd annual "Tomato Picking Trip"..

 

 

Also, stopped at a nursery along highway 41 in the Ruskin area with a great variety of healthy flowering plants and whirly-gigs.

Naval Station Mayport, FL Views

We were lucky this visit to Naval Station Mayport Famcamp to get an RV site on the front row, which means you get to see all the shipping activity heading in and out of port.

These photos were taken from right in front or our motorhome...

 

 

Look close there is a cat in the rocks...

 

High winds our last two days in Mayport made for interesting seas...

Georgia Veteran's Memorial State Park on Lake Blackshear

Georgia Veteran's State Park is a state park located on Lake Blackshear in Crisp County, west of Cordele, Georgia. It was established in 1931 as a memorial to U.S. Veterans
 

Our stay here was during the week, which is quitter, so was able to get a nice lakeside site. 

 

 

 

 

The nice golf course was a draw for Ted, plus the great greens fees for veterans.

Passing thro Georgia

Our first night out after leaving the WIT Rally in Lebanon, TN, was spent at the Navy recreation area on Lake Allatoona in northern GA.

Located only 30 miles north of Atlanta, Ga. Lake Allatoona, the serene lake and peaceful surroundings offer a respite from the rush of city living. It is one of the most frequently visited Corps of Engineers lakes in the nation. More than six million visitors each year

During our stay in Cordele, GA we went hunting for pecans and found a great fruit and vegetable stand..."Little Farmer's Market" in Leslie, GA.

The clerk was very knowledgeable and a helped us decide which of the many types of pecans to get. We choose "Pawnee", which has bigger nuts and seemed sweeter.

 

 

WIT Rally Nightly Entertainment

"David Turner and Friends" entertained rally attendees opening day. David lives in Alexandria, TN and his love of ventriloquism has spanned over 40 years. David introduced us to his delightful friends with jokes and songs. 

 

 

"Debi and the DooWops"
We sang along with hits from the 50's and 60's...great fun!
