March 30/2014 - Triple Crown at Grand Oaks RV & Carriage Museum Resort
Every Sunday there is a brunch buffet, a carriage ride and museum visit special at Grand Oaks. We have been at this RV park on an off through the winter months. We stayed 3 days, then went on our way, then came back for 3 weeks, then went on our way and then came back for 1 month. In all that time we kept saying we must do the Horse Carriage Ride and a visit to the Florida Carriage Museum. Everyone coming and going told us how excellent it was. I guess we take Retirement very seriously, we don't move to fast and always think we can get to that tomorrow. Time does move on!!! So with only a few days to go before we move on finally we took the Triple Crown. And yes everyone was so right, it is a wonderful day. The carriage ride is on a large carriage pulled by the two Clydesdale's - Bud and Weiser. Beautiful.
The museum goes on and on. There is a European section, an American section it is the world’s largest private collections of carriages and equine artifacts. Every carriage is restored to perfection. There are many life size horses drawing the carriages. It will give you that dreamy past feeling. Easy to imagine now those 1800's times in London, England that you read in A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. There are several carriages from the era that bring those stories to life. As well as the pioneers crossing the USA in their wagon trains. There is a stage coach, a chuck wagon, a pioneer wagon - preserved impeccably. Such an enjoyable day.
