Clearwater, FL

As you can see by the title of this post we are now at the Thousand Trails RV Resort just west of Orlando for the next ten days. We decided to take advantage of our membership as we were both ready for a few days away from the job of unpacking things at the house and doing some minor remodeling and painting. It is only a 1 1/2 hr drive from Sebring.

Last Sat. evening Terri, friend Donny and myself drove to the Desoto Speedway just east of Bradenton to attend the stock car races. The last race of the night was a school bus race that was run on the figure 8 track. There were 18 buses that started the race and I believe 13 finished. Terri said I can't watch this as she thought they would crash when they crossed in the center of the figure 8 so she went and stood behind the bleachers. I don't know just how they managed but there were no crashes until just after the winning bus got the checkered flag. I had never seen school bus's race before but would definitely go again if the chance arrived and i suspect it will.
