We are in Florida's Backyards!

OOPS!  If you think you have seen some of these pictures before - you have!  I posted our arrival in Florida already but somehow when I was typing a new post---I somehow deleted the first Florida post.   So I am adding the earlier post's pictures to this post. I think I warned all of you that this blog would not be perfect and I have kept my word.

We arrived in the Sunshine state and set up at Kennedy Space Center.  This place is really nice, we are on the Banana River, just across from the launch pads at Kennedy.  We will have front row seats for any rocket launching (if we are lucky enough to see a launch).  After we arrived and set up the motor home we drove to Titusville to visit Pat's brother, Chas, his daughter Kelsey and grandson Aiden.  They are down here working on the two houses that Chas bought in Titusville.  His wife Sharon arrived a few days later and we have been over to see them a couple of times since we arrived.  The following day we drove over to Orlando to visit with George's brother Dick and his wife Karen.  Their friends, Steve and Minnie are also down here.  They are all escaping the Ohio weather and will be here until sometime in March.  The weather has cooperated and we have been really enjoying the "Sunshine" state.

After riding around on the scooter and visiting several cities on the "Space Coast"  we drove back over to Titusville to visit with Chas and Sharon (she was visiting with her mom in Ocala).  Unfortunately, Sharon, Kelsey, and Aiden are driving back up to Ohio today so we had to say goodbye---Sharon is flying back down here on Feb 7th so we will get to spend more time with Chas and Sharon.

We finally played a round of golf with Dick and Steve.  The good news was the great weather, the bad news was the good weather, it  brings a lot of old old people down here to play golf.  It took us 4 1/2 hours to play 18 holes.  Apparently, nobody likes to let anyone play through!!! We started at 1:45 and it was dark when we finished on 18 - a very exhausting day!!  Dick told us to relax - no matter where we play it is going to be a long day.  Think we will try Patrick AFB, at least they have Marshalls to move play along.

Dick and George waiting on the tee box - could have taken this pic on all 18 holes

Pat teeing off - notice the windbreaker (?) it was getting late in the day and the temps were going down into the 60's.

Sorry about the repost but wanted to let everyone know that we are doing well and settling into a little routine.  We will be driving down to Port Charlotte for a couple of days to visit our friends Doug and April on Wednesday.  Also, Bob and Donna, our traveling friends, will be joining us by the end of the week.  So our days will start to fill up with activities very soon, which means we will be posting again soon.  We hope you are enjoying our blog and we hope you are enjoying your backyards.  Take extra good care of yourselves and remember that you are never far from our thoughts.
