After Boynton Beach

When we left Barbara and Bob's we were headed down the coast and towards the Everglades.  Drove thru Boca along the coast, I have never seen so many "beautiful" people in spandex at one time in my whole life!  The homes were incredible!  The traffic was horrible and we sat and puttzed along only to find out there was a parade and our route was closed.

Got back on track, by the time we got to Alligator Alley Marty was asleep and I just drove over to Naples (more beautiful people).  We went to a flea market and decided to head north towards Spring Hill, where we visited with our lifelong friends.  Had a nice dinner with Richard and Ann.  Richards friends Greg and Girlie joined us.
When we returned to Richards we hung out outside for a while.  I just miss being outside and it has just been too hot during the day.  Word of warning:  little red ants and chew your feet up at an incredible pace and the pain, itch and burn isn't pleasant!  I didn't think I would ever get to sleep!  But I did for about and hour and a half.
We had breakfast with Richards parents this morning.  It was so good to see them again.

Now that visiting was done, we did a touristy thing.  We went to Homasassa Spring Wildlife Refuge.  Marty and I took the boys there in 1986.  Things have changed sinced then. The only animals there now are native to Florida.  As I remember (and old pictures confirm), the flamingos and other birds were free to roam among the visitors, now they are behind fences.  They also relocated the little monkeys that used to steal treats from people.  It was still a lot of fun though.  I got some beautiful pictures.

We have bedded down for the night just north of Jacksonville (I think).  We are heading towards home, but hoping to do some more little side trips along the way.  I miss Abel, but Marty, Candace and the girls are taking good care of him. 

When we get home I'm looking forward to getting ready for Jobey's baby shower for Kambron Reed Kramer!!

Enjoy the pictures and please leave me a comment.  When I talk to you, you tell me that you are reading this but I have no proof.

We'll check back soon.  Good Night
