Well, we made the decision to purchase a “Sticks and Bricks”, which is a home in RV lingo that is located in Wellen Park, FL in a neighborhood called Brightmore. It is a 55+ community with a clubhouse that we couldn’t pass up. It’s located about 15 miles north of our RV spot. We elected the Sapphire model with the coastal facade; it has three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a flex room and it’s about 2400 square feet. We selected a lot on a lake (Lot #388) with our lanai facing the west. They should have it built by early June. Here are some pictures (from the sales sheets):

Brightmore itself:

So, what does that mean for the RV Traveling with the Busse Bus? Good question! We plan on selling our beautiful lot at the Myakka River Motorcoach Resort and have already put it up for sale. If you are interested, let us know!

As for the Busse Bus, we plan on keeping it and storing it during the winter months and continue to travel throughout the summer months. Therefore, the adventure will continue!

After eight years on the road, we thought that it was time to try something different. If you are in the area, stop by for a visit as we will now definitely have room to keep you!

Our new address will be:

Ed and Katrina Busse

18197 Watercolor Avenue

Venice, FL 34293
