Sun-N-Fun RV Resort, Sarasota, FL:  This place is huge—around 2000 sites.  There are mostly park models in here—a smattering of older ones and a lot of really nice new ones.  A lot of people winter here.  We saw a bunch of high end motor homes.  Our site is between two park models.  One is not occupied right now and the other is either owned or rented by a British couple.  We ran into another British couple at the laundry.  I decided to wash the quilt and put it away, so we headed over to the laundry with our books and put the quilt in one of the washers.  When it finished washing we put it in what we thought was a dryer.  Turns out it was a front-loading washer.  Can’t stop them because the door locks, so we had to wait ANOTHER 39 minutes for that to finish (sigh).  While we were waiting we walked over to a little garden by one of the ponds.  Turns out it was a butterfly garden.  Pretty little place with little sculptures and bushes with these fragrant orange blossoms.  Smelled wonderful.  Back to the laundry and put the quilt in the dryer.  In about 10 minutes it was mostly dry so we headed home.  Turns out there are a lot of Brits in here because they have a “lawn bowling” court.  Not sure what that is, but we passed a beautiful bocce ball court.  They have everything in here.  They even have a lawn bowling petanque court for the French people. Not sure what that is, but the French love it.  There’s a small fishing/sailing lake, several big pavilions housing billiards, activity rooms, game rooms, workout rooms, etc., tennis courts, and of course a swimming pool.  There’s also a restaurant and tiki bar by the pool.   So we set off on our bikes to explore this place.  Biked down to the pool which is huge and very warm.  Had a cocktail at the tiki bar (it was almost noon!).  Then we biked over to the lake and continued on past the tennis courts.  Wish we had our tennis rackets with us.  Back to our site and relaxed outside reading for a while.  This resort even has their own movie channel which runs movies 24/7.  Have to watch Dancing With The Stars one last night to (hopefully) see Jennifer Grey win.  I'm feeling unloved.  Think I'll go to the airport and get a pat-down.
