After we left Tybee Island we decided we needed a vacation. I know you're asking "VACATION?". That's right, you have to remember we do work... not a lot, but it's nice to not have to get up and go to work. We tried a little off road but as you can see, Holly said turn right and I turned left. OK that's not ours; we took a little trip to Florida and went to Busch Gardens with our friends Jack and Lynn who live in North Fort Meyers. We had a great time just spending the day walking around and going to some of the shows. Jack went on most of the roller coasters and we cheered him on! Go Jack!
It turns out Sea World bought Busch Gardens so no Clydesdales and no beer samples. Oh well, we still had a good time.
I still don't know how this picture got in the middle of Busch Gardens. I think Brutus put it here. This is his friend from the campground where we stayed. They ran across each other during one of his morning walks.
Here is Holly and Lynn sitting outside of the tiger exhibit. As you can see, it was a beautiful sunny day. After a nice day at the park with great friends and a train ride we said goodbye to the flamingos and headed back to the campground.
Thank you Jack and Lynn for showing us such a good time. We loved spending time with you.
Before heading to Key Largo, we were also able to have dinner with our niece Catie who also lives in the Fort Myers area. We haven't seen her in years so we loved spending that time with her.
After a short drive south we ended up at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo. After a relaxing evening we met up with our Michigan friends, Dave and Beth at Islamorada in the Keys. They go there every spring and we were lucky to be there at the same time they were. We particularly enjoyed visiting the Tiki bars on the beach, having a few drinks and watching the sun set. After enjoying our vacation it was time to head back to Michigan to see family and friends.
After getting home we decided to go look at motor homes. As you can tell, this beauty sitting in the driveway is not our Suncruiser. We are now the proud owners of a Fleetwood Discovery diesel pusher. We spent the last week moving every thing out of the old one into the garage and then back into the new one. We think we have most of it back in and put away. Now we just have to remember where it all is.
Well, that's about all there is to tell for now. See you all next month.
