Englewood to Valrico to North Port, FL
We have been waffling back and forth on a decision to purchase a PHT (portable holding tank) also known as a honey wagon, blue boy or poop tote.  It is used for hauling waste water from a camper to a dump station.  Some campgrounds don’t have sewer hookups and if our permanent holding tank is full before we are ready to leave, we need a way to dump the tanks. 
It is a little impractical to hitch up to drive to the dump station so that is where the portable holding tank comes in handy. 
The tanks range in sizes from 5 gallons to 42 gallons. We checked out the ones available in Camping World and decided that the 27 gallon tank would suit our needs.  But we weren’t crazy about the price tag of $255.  Even on sale, the lowest price we have seen the 27 gallon tank is for $178.  Monte has been checking on Craig’s List periodically and finally saw one listed today for $100.  Unfortunately we had to drive all the way to Valrico but the guy we purchased the tank from agreed to settle for $80 so it was worth the trip.
 We took advantage of being in the Brandon Area to go to Kohl’s. 
 
 
 
I found this sign amusing.  But I guess you have to be of a certain age to get why it is funny.
After heading back south again we stopped at Sam’s Club so I could get some pictures from Dad’s birthday party printed and then enjoyed a delicious dinner at Mom & Dad’s house.
One of the Camping World booths at the Tampa RV Super show was giving these pet bandanas out . 
Anne didn't really like it.
