Southwest Florida Winter

---

What can I say about Riverbend Motorcoach Resort? In a beautifully landscaped setting along the Caloosahatchee River, there are three clubhouses, pool, hot tubs, tennis courts, and a whole host of activities to keep you as busy as you’d like. We rode our bikes almost every day, and Diane joined the ladies exercise group. This season marked the beginning of the Riverbend and SW Florida Railroad and Village, which was created by several talented lot owners.

We can’t believe how time has flown by. Diane’s sister Donna flew down in January and we all drove up to Leesburg to visit Diane’s mom for a few days, Denver friends Jim and Chris were here in February, Diane made another trip to Leesburg to do her mom’s taxes, and Diane’s step-sister Debbie and family stopped by as well. We’ve taken day trips to Everglades National Park, Naples, and Sanibel Island, to name a few.

When we leave Riverbend, we’ll head to Orlando and Tampa to spend more time with Mark, Heidi, and Alex before heading back to Texas in April.
