$20.00 in tolls too.
Lived in WP for 8 years before finding the Villages and loved it.
Not the same but a lot more fun here.
Be sure to stop at Total Wine and take the boat ride at the end of Morse St. too.
Morse Museum and Harry P. Leu Botanical Garden.
Make a day of it.

What can you buy at Trader Joe's that you can't get at Walmart?

Also, what could they possibly have worth using that much gas to travel over an hour each way?

Back in Maryland, there was a Trader Joe about a half mile from me. They had some very good frozen food and I would go there if my wife was away and I needed quick food. Trader Joe also had a canned coffee drink called Triple Shot that I would take to work in the summer for my coffee break time.

Would I travel to Winter Park or Gainesville just to go to Trader Joe? No way! If I was in the area and a Trader Joe was right there, I might stop in to see what I could find but certainly would NEVER go out of my way for Trader Joe.
