Fun N Sun Resort
In the picture above the 'tininthewind' is sitting pretty just after our arrival at the "Fun N Sun Resort". We were given the choice of six or seven sites and we chose R-169. Our street name is 'Restful'. Just behind us are several streets of permanent sites with different styles of park models and all attractively landscaped with fruit tree's heavily laden with ripening grapefruit and oranges, and of course many varieties of flowers or flowering bushes.
This park offers more activities than either of us care to get involved in but from time to time it will be fun to attend some of the entertainment venues and some of the pot luck gatherings but for the most part we prefer to just relax.
Several things do peak my interest and I plan to take advantage of them. The first is a beautiful pool/jacuzzi area that is open 24/7. The second is a huge exercise center that has the latest equipment and is also open 24/7. We have been here three days and I have used the pool and jacuzzi every day. I got acquainted with the exercise center this evening before going to the pool and I can't wait to get back there tomorrow.
There are wood working shops, carving gatherings, indoor shuffleboard, billiards, RC-electric care race tracks used for practice and competition. There are huge mowed fields near-by for kite flying and a measured driving range. There are other activities and dedicated buildings for those activities but I haven't had time to check them all out.
We have been out and about in the surrounding area and are learning our way around. There is anything and everything one could want within just a few miles of us.
A lady standing near her pick-up loaded with fresh fruit caught my eye this morning so I stopped. Apparently she comes to the Resort every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. She and her husband have their own orchards. I bought 1 bag of Texas Select Pink Grapefruit (picked this morning). There were 16 in the bag and I paid $3.00. I also bought a huge bag of fresh picked oranges for $3.00. There were other produce items but since I was out for a walk I figured one bag under each arm was enough to get us started.
Everywhere you go in the park people are friendly. If they don't verbally great you they at least wave in passing. I have met and had conversations with several people at the pool/jacuzzi area. My favorite question is: "Is this your first year to this park"? I have yet to find anyone who is a newcomer. All have been coming multiple years.
Kathleen and I are going to a "Welcome Newcomers" meeting tomorrow where we will be given a talk on the park and can get any questions we may have answered. There are 1500 "Winter Texan" sites here and it is virtually a city unto itself.
I think we are going to like it here!
