Florida Vacation – It was a cold month in Florida for our very first time visitng the south. But It did not stop Deb and I from exploring everyday .
We also averaged walking over six miles everyday but the day of the 5K race we were at the airport waiting for Nicole and Bill. Their plane was rescheduled for the day of the race because of D.C. snow storms.
We drank the freshest juice we ever tasted, saw the alligators, and big snakes and we enjoyed seeing the Lippizon Stallions training . We also toured the shipping port and was reminded 96% of what we are dependent on comes from overseas, ha,ha. , We also saw the Manitees along with a couple close up sharks, a close up stingray and several jellyfish encounteres.
Most of all we enjoyed our days of walking on the beach at Venus, Clearwater and Anna Maria Island where we stayed several nights in a brand new super deluxe condo with Nicole and Bill.
We also spent the afternoon at downtown Disney but were short on time to go inside the park. We ate all over the area and our favorite eating spots ended up being Bonefish Grill and Cabella’s Itailian Food, yum ! We tried five different bar-b- cued rib joints and that was fun too. We ate a lot of fun food and had a lot of laughs and made some memories we will always talk about for years to come.
We also made it to the drag races and that brought back fun memories from many years ago.
In summery , relaxing for a month is not for me though, I miss going out in my little workshop 6 days a week and i actually miss the snow and plowing it.
It has been a nice break from the webpage and much needed. Thanks for so many nice E-mails from so many of you .
Todays picture shows me with my tractor in the background hooked to a sea shell picker upper to speed up sea shell picking.
just kidding , but it was cool seeing the morning John Deere on the beach, ha,ha.
Have a great Tues. !!!!!!!!!!!
