The Move to Naples No, not the Naples in Italy. Mom and dad have now officially moved to Florida. The house in Green Bay was sold. Jeff and Jason’s families divided up a lot of the furniture, pictures, and even candles. But it only made a dent. I arrived in the USA on June 11. Mom had already purchased a ticket for me so I found myself on a plane on June 12 heading for Florida to help unpack the moving truck. It’s hard to believe mom and dad could have done better than their last Condo, but they did! The house is amazing. The new house is located in a posh housing community that makes Disney World look like a developing country. The community is gated and guarded, with golf cart paths interconnecting the streets. Palm trees and manicured Three guys unpacked the entire trailer truck over four hours but it took mom, dad, me, and the Vanderkellens several days to unpack most of the boxes. That includes breaks for dinner each night. (did you know there is a Culvers in Naples? Culvers, the butter burger fast food hamburger joints based out of Wisconsin?) My birthday was a day of unpacking boxes, but it ended with dinner at the Snook Inn. Mom and Dad have a LOT of stuff - #holycrapthatsalotofstuff - !! I was lucky to have the time to help them out. It’s not often that I can help out family with larger projects. We got most of the big stuff unpacked, pictures hung up, fake plants corralled into a corner for later placement, china almost unpacked, TVs mounted, and more. One of my favorite memories of Florida has always been driving the little white E90 Mercedes that mom and I drove down from Green Bay a hundred years ago. Mom still loves McDonalds breakfast and I would make the daily breakfast run in the Mercedes. Surprisingly, little has changed in Naples since I was last there. Growth yeah, but it still seems the same. Mom had me drive into a nearby condo complex. She thinks I should move into one of the perfect little condos, but a quick internet search popped that idea with price tags starting at $350,000.
This house is amazing. The back pool and whirlpool are surrounded by a bird cage to keep out the gators and mosquitos. Except for the Florida heat and humidity, the back pool area is a place you won’t want to leave. I think, come winter, this pool area will be hyper-used.
