Celebrations at Floridays

Floridays Thanksgiving collageWe never brag about Floridays being the prettiest RV park in Florida. But we do brag about its charm and friendly people. Your view from the stoop may be your neighbor’s awning, the beach is a hike away, but we’re definitely an RV-friendly park with some great get-togethers. We know how to celebrate.

Thanksgiving celebrations centered around a spread of traditional holiday goodness that saved more than a few small RV ovens having to be cleaned. We swapped stories and told tall tales while consuming a ridiculous amount of calories at an Olympic pace.

New Years Eve at FloridaysNew Year’s Eve had us carving up yet another 23-pounder turkey, ham and beans, cornbread and all the traditional fixings in the glow of yet another golden Florida sunset. After dark, we lit the fire pit and somehow kept the cornhole tournament going. Live music and our favorite DJ kept most people on their feet. We danced and chatted toward the midnight countdown. For all our readers, we wish you happy cleanouts, functioning jacks, smooth transmissions, and smooth sliders throughout 2017!
