If you have never been to Sun City, Florida you need to go there at least once. It is quite an experience. You come off I75 southeast of Tampa and drive into this booming little metropolis. The first thing you notice is all the golf carts. They are everywhere!! These golf carts even get the primo parking stalls at the local strip malls and even the Walmart. I have never seen anything like it.
Kings Point which is on the south side of the highway is a buzzing adult gated community for those 55 years young and up. As I toured the clubhouses, I kept thinking "When do they sleep?" There are swimming pools, golf courses, lawn bowling, tennis courts, basketball courts, fitness centers, miles and miles of walking and bike paths and at least 200 activity clubs. I'm not exagerating!! There is even a game with a crazy name called "Pickleball". I never got to check it out, but I plan to.
There are two clubhouses in Kings Point. The north clubhouse has a 10,000 sq. ft. theatre that brings in live entertainment on a regular basis. I see that Pat Boone, Charo and even The Temptations are going to be doing some shows there.
I saw a huge bus pull up to the clubhouse one morning. When I asked what it was doing there, the reply was "Oh, we are heading to Disney for the day". It seems there is a monthly schedule of about 15 different trips from the beach, to different malls, to a local attractions (SeaWorld, Busch Gardens, Disney) to a night out at a dinner theatre. How great is that? You sit back, relax, and let the bus driver worry about driving through traffice. He even drops you off at the front door.
There is so much more to tell you about, but I think I'll just wait till next week.
