Super Sunday

This morning we packed up and moved about 60 miles east to Thousand Trails Orlando. There are two Thousand Trails preserves in Florida, and we spend as much time as we can in one or the other, since we are members and there is no charge to camp. TTO is a huge campground with 850 sites. We selected a site in D loop, down by the lake. We always stay in D loop because it is shaded by large live oak trees and is more intimate and private than the other areas in the park. We got settled in time to watch the Superbowl preview shows on our new digital HD Sony. We visited a bit with several of our TREK friends who had also moved to TTO. By kick-off time for Superbowl XLIII, we were settled in for the big game. Our Panthers choked big time in the playoffs, so we had no real dog in this fight, but I found myself rooting for the Arizona Cardinals, mostly because they were the underdogs. It was a great game, the best Superbowl I can recall. We watched the obligatory commercials, but I was a little disappointed. Few grabbed me, and many were stupid or overly violent. We will be at TTO for 12 nights. I hope to play a lot of pickleball.
