May 1, 2013 - Wet Inside And Wet Outside

We were ready to leave as soon as Norma's soap's were over , we left to take a short drive with our new travel trail just up the road for a one night stay.We wanted to test out the camper , to see what may fall off the camper and to get the bugs out.

Jun 20, 2012 - June 20th continued.....

So, I thought I was done journaling for today, but I remembered a few things I wanted to mention before they flew out of my mind again. Also, I wanted to write about our afternoon. First of all, I forgot to blog about the "sighting" we had in Manchester last night after dinner at Friendly's. We were on our way back to the hotel, and we saw an individual walking down the center of the 4-lane road. He was..... interesting, to say the least. He was walking down the road with an American flag and a bunch of what looked like marijuana...

Jan 2, 2010 - Fort Myers to Sarasota and beyond

We left our campground at Pine Island and headed to Sarasota. Sarasota was the winter home and training grounds for the Ringling Brothers Circus for many, many years.

He and his wife built a huge, Venetian mansion on the waterfront, and when they had no children and the family around him was shrinking, Ringling left his money to form a huge art museum. Now...
