Summer in February

I just got home from spending a glorious week

in Florida with my son.

It was a fabulous week of sunshine and warm weather,

soft sand and the sound of the surf.....
topped off with some really great fresh seafood.


We spent the first four days in Daytona Beach.

No trip to the beach would be complete without a

visit to Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach.

Then it was off to Ocala to spend a few days
with good friends.

One day we spent kayaking at the beautiful
Rainbow Springs.

We saw all kinds of wildlife...turtles, beautiful birds
and even a 7 ft. alligator. Here he is!
Not the best picture but
YOU wouldn't get any closer either! Nick made a new friend.


Thank You Carol and Lynne for a wonderful time!!



Why do we live in Illinois??
