Earlier in the week I managed to avoid the wet weather. The rain was scattered and late enough in the day that it didn’t really impact my activities. Today on the other hand, was filled with flashy, boomy and wet weather. I got caught driving in and around thunderstorms.

I drove to Tampa today for the “Tampa Bay Summer RV Show”. It is at the State Fairgrounds just like the Tampa RV Super show in January, but that’s where the similarity ends. This show is about a fraction the size of the January show. The big show has most every RV brand represented using most of the dealerships in the southeast. This show had the brand selection of the four local Tampa area dealers present at the show. There were also a hand full of vendors of products loosely related to RVs or camping compared to the three buildings full in January.

The RV show was an interesting diversion from my daily routine. I saw a few things to consider as I look to change my way of travel over the next couple of years. The show didn’t really meet my expectations. I knew it was going to be a small show with limited variety, but it was even more limited than I expected. After less than 2 hours I was on my way home.

On Tuesday of this week I visited EPCOT for my daily walking exercise. All of the pictures in this blog entry came from that visit.
