			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am sure I am not the only babyboomer that thinks that The Villages is the best thing that has happened to those of us over 55!  Before I made the trip down from Atanta to visit my friend I had NO IDEA!  After my first visit I thought on my 6 hour ride back home, am I having a dream or was this real!  <a href="http://thevillages-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Ginny-and-Randy-3448.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-12" title="Ginny and Randy 3448" src="http://thevillages-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Ginny-and-Randy-3448-300x286.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="286" /></a></p>
<p>It is very real for sure.  I came back a 2nd time for a long weekend and thought yes this place really is as close as you can get to heaven here on earth.  My only complaint was why did I not find out sooner.  I, like most of us Villagers, saw the Nancy Lopez and Arnold Palmer TV ads.  Live like a millionaire, free golf and all that.  I just figured it was some retirement place with one or two golf courses.  Boy, was I out in left field somewhere in the dark!</p>
<p>It was not really the time for us to buy but we kept looking on the internet every once in a while just to see what was happening here in the housing market.  I ran across a house I thought would make a great part time home for us while we were still in Atanta too.  I figured it would be 5 years before we would get here full time if at all.  So, bought the house! </p>
<p>I hope you will comment on how soon you bought or what happened on your first or second visit her to our hometown.</p>
<p>I look forward to writing in this blog and seeing the comments for all the rest of you about The Villages.</p>
