Sun 'N Fun 2010 - Camping & Eating

 I've been to SNF four times but this is the first time I've stayed in the Homebuilt Camping section. 

I met the famous Mary Jane who with her Dad run the section.  They do a great job.  There was always coffee and danish in the mornings, and the big tent pictured here was a great place to hang out in shade and talk aviation with other airplane nuts. 

I like camping next to my airplane, although I do need to get a better air mattress.  You get up early, and you're right there.  Camping on the airfield is a fun part of the total SNF experience.

    
Cool beverages were always available in the tent.  The main SNF area was a bit of a hike away so it was fantastic to be able to get coffee and cool drinks just a few steps away from your plane/tent. 
    
The mobile shower facility was a quarter mile away -- not too bad.  The shower setup was the best I've ever encountered in at about 10 SNF/AV trips.  Each shower stall had it's own little private dressing room.  That's huge, believe me.  The sinks where you brush your teeth & shave are outside the trailor on the side and in the middle. 
    
We would eat breakfast and lunch at the "Sunset Grill" pictured here which was located in the heart of the SNF area.  The prices are a little high for what it is, but I understand the reasons for it, and don't have a problem with it.  I'm just glad it's there.  There is a bar both inside and outside and I must admit it is nice to sit down and relax over a cold brew. 
    
 The first nice Bruce's son-in-law Ray took us out into town to Outback Steakhouse in his new (used) "Club Chateau" van.  Ray was very proud!  The second night I went to the Van's banquet which was catered and was the best food I had during SNF.
