On March 16th (which was also our oldest Granddaughter - Taylor's 19th birthday) we headed to Florida for a week to visit with our friends Bob and Val. We flew to New Orleans and drove along highway 90 through the bottom of Mississippi with a stop in Biloxi. What a pretty drive along the south shore. Then up through Mobile, Alabama and into the Florida pan handle. Many of the houses along the way are built high up on stilts to avoid the flood waters.
We spent a week enjoying the beautiful beaches of Cape San Blas, fine seafood and good friends. Here are Bob & Val on the pier at Mexico Beach.
And here are Bob, Val and Tom before we walked down the pier to take a look at the sharks a fellow had caught just minutes before. By the time we finished the photo op he had already tossed them back in. However that was the end of any idea of my going into the water that day.
We spent the night in Spanish Fort (just before Mobile) and then on back to New Orleans the next day to catch our flight home. All too soon we are back home again. At least there is no snow in Toronto and the daffodils are already in bloom. Spring is definitely here.

ReplyDeleteLooking forward to following your blog
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome Cheryl! I intend to follow you and live life through your adventures!
ReplyDeleteA long long way from K'Town.
Thanks for all your comments and encouragement. Not sure when our new BIG adventure will start but in the meantime we hope for some smaller ones to blog about. I know that when the Hollingers get back to Canada this spring we will be able to get into some mischief together...lol.
ReplyDeleteUntil next time - Cheers.
Looking forward to reading your blog as you transition into full timing, we haven't yet, but we want to. We do travel for a few months each year and stay in hotels as we travel. Obviously an RV would be better, but for now, hotels will do.
ReplyDeleteWEll now the jouney begins it will be fun to follow you on your blog........ Will Tom be blogging or will this be a Solo for you Cheryl I can't imagine him not wanting to chime in on this journey you are going to take together.Helen without a blog....yet
ReplyDeleteAs everyone else has already stated "Welcome to Blogland". The beauty of this is that you don't have to post daily but can if you wish. You don't have to post a blog only when you are away either.
ReplyDeleteA blog, log, ledger, post, journal, or a diary whatever name you put on it is Okay because first and foremost it is for you. Next it's for your kids, friends and anyone you allow to read. This is your choice and a bonus! You can tell of only the good things happening in your life or you can be totally honest and print even when things aren't the best. You will develop a following.
The Important part is that you have fun doing it, and don't be dicouraged when you feel that you only had normal things in life to talk about. Many people are not able to travel or explore like you can do and will travel through your words and pictures in your blog.
We have only been posting since November and have only been able to post about our home base happenings at this point. After the 3rd of June our travels begin. Maybe we might even get to meet down the road some place.
Keep up the good work on you blog Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
