Florida Vacation
Warning, lots of pictures!

These are (2) of the greatest traveling
companions. Don't let their
goofy looks fool you. . . . . . .

When things slow down. . . .
they find a wheelchair!!

We visited the Mount Dora art festival.
I saw a shirt that said "I climbed Mt. Dora. . . . Elevation 165'"
It cracked me up. This is My Hunka Hunka
Burnin' love standing in line for a gyro.

This is the Wayland & Joanie Family,
sitting on "Mt. Dora" (?)
not really!

I happened upon this bit of
sculpture that I liked.

This is Mr. Brad and his
gorgeous grand-daughter
The Darling Lainey!!
(Brad was making this face at Bev)

This is a picture of Spanish Moss.
It was everywhere, I loved it so much.
Joanie told me there were some really
creepy red bugs that lived in it, so it lost
a bit of it's "charm" but not much.

We went to Blue Springs and
saw some manatees. They were
so great.

This is the other "Fab Four"
We are standing on South Beach in
Miami!! Can you ever be sad
standing on the beach?

My toes were so happy
to be in the sand!!

We went to the Art Deco district
in South Beach. .. . . . . .

They were so great

This is a couple of old farts
sitting on a bench just "chillin"
It was kind of creepy.

We headed to Little Havana to find a
fine hand rolled cigar. We found some
"FREE" cigar boxes. Such a find
Bev can sniff out all sorts of cool things!

This alligator was in Shark Valley (I know should be gator valley)
It was kinda surreal to be this close!!

Boyd scared the sh$% outta me . . . he
actually touched this guys tail.
He's an idiot!!

Not sure I remember the name
of this bird. This trip made me want
to join the Audubon Society.

Wayland likes to touch
the wildlife!!

He learned from his mama. . . . .

These guys were everywhere!

We ate at this little spot in
Everglade City.

It had no real "style" just lots
of kitsch!

This little motel is where we stayed.
Everglade City could be a fun, lazy,
end destination for some real nice
"down time"

We had this guy provide us
with some canoes to paddle down
the river!!

It was like . . . . . . .real

fun. . . . and

exciting. . . . . .

just like the movies. . . .
Mother Nature is AWESOME

The Fab Four . . . . . .again on Sanabel Island. . . .. shelling

Boyd in front of the space capsule

Sanabel (?)

Saturn 5 rocket

This was the moon rover (?) I think
it looked like it wouldn't even get
into a small-town parade, it was
covered in gold foil.

This is me and mr. at the Space Center.
It was really awesome.

A fruit stand on the way to St. Augustine.

The Fort at St. Augustine.

Mile "0" of the Old Spanish Trail.

My dinner at The Raintree

Boyd's dinner at the Raintree

This is what we found when we arrived
home. Thanks to the Lloyd Brothers.

Triple Thanks to my Fabulous Oldest Brother and
his Outrageous wife. We had a great trip. They were
so gracious to take us and share their vacation and
sacrifice time with their kids to show us a good time.

p.s. we need to talk and
"square up" what we
owe you!!
