No longer "Vegging Out".
After lunch we set out for The Villages Old Mill Playhouse.
The movie NOAH was starting in theaters today. We thought we would get the 2 pm show and get home before the rain in the evening.
We didn't know what to expect from "Noah"; however, it was nowhere close to what we expected. It was a cross between "The Transformers" and "Gladiator" - the names were not changed to protect the innocent (viewers - grin). Needless to say we were extremely disappointed. We almost felt like warning the 50 or 60 folks in line for the next showing. Perhaps we're just old-fashioned. I won't say any more than that.
After the show we took a walk around the "Square". The parking around the square was reserved today for The Villages Goldwing Association. This is a group of Honda Goldwing Motorcyclists based in The Villages. There were 50 or 60 Goldwings of various colours and configurations parked side-by-side around the square. Really nice bikes. No money lacking with that group.
Next we did a little shopping. Charlotte found a neat Butterfly T-shirt.
It goes from black to colours in certain lighting conditions - Neat!
At the Izod Store Charlotte found a few matching pant/top sets. She had bought some items here several weeks ago and liked the fit and quality. She found 2 more nice sets today.
We decided to head to World Famous Gator Joe's in Ocklawaha, FL for all you can eat "Fish Friday's". We enjoyed the food here enough on our first 2 visits that we decided to return.
This is our first Friday visit. We got in just after 5 o'clock - good thing. There soon was a long waiting line after we were seated. We enjoyed the live Country Music duo while we ate. Food was good as always.
We decided to take the "back roads" to the RV park. Even though it was not sunny it was still comfortable enough to leave the top off the Del Sol. Many of the roads in this area are really pretty. The Live Oak trees on both sides meet in the middle forming a lovely canopy over the road - complete with Spanish Moss. Not quite as impressive as "Oak Alley" (Boone Hall Plantation - Mt. Pleasant, SC) in Gone With The Wind fame; but still fun to drive under. A few occasional raindrops on the windshield; but, not enough to warrant putting the top on.
It was a relaxing drive back with very little traffic. We arrived at the RV about 7:30 p.m.
TV this evening: Family Feud, Dateline, News, etc., etc.while we wait for the rain that the TV News keeps predicting. This is the same rain we waited for over the last few days. Maybe tonight?
