We didn't find much to do and it was still busy because of Spring Break. We went to Tarpoon Springs, Fred Howard Park,Craig Park, Werner-Boyce Salt Springs State Park and the Sponge Docks. We did a little bit of driving around but it was just too busy so we stayed in a lot.<br />

Went to Fred Howard Park, we have been here before with the kids, but we forgot how big it was and how beautiful.<br />
<br />
Then we headed back to Georgia for a week. We of course had to go to Skipper's Fish Camp and Jekyll Island. We also went to St. Simon Island and Brunswick. We also did some Geocaching on Jekyll Island.<br />

Our last day in Pigeon Forge we just ate. We went out to breakfast and then to the Old Mill for supper. It was rainy and cold. Heading home and Duke had to sit on Brinlee and of course he has to lick. You can see his tongue in action.<br />
When we got home we colored Easter eggs with Brinlee but forgot to get pictures of the eggs and how we did it. But we used shaving cream and food coloring hence the rubber gloves.<br />

We have became bird watchers and thoroughly are enjoying all the birds that come. We have had a wide variety of them over the weeks and got new bird feeder and different kinds of seeds to attract more kinds of birds. We have had 2 different kinds of woodpeckers, a nuthatcher, doves, cowbirds, and many other colorful varieties.<br />

Now up to date. We took Brinlee to the Columbian Park Zoo and then over to Frozen Custard. We are hoping to have lots of short adventures this summer so hopefully we will have a more exciting summer then last year. Only if it ever warms up. It has been nothing but either cold, raining, or windy. I'm ready for some warmth and sun.<br />

Last thing we done was go do the Garfield Trail here in Indiana. Jim Davis is from Marion, IN and they have Gardield statues around the area to find. We are missed 4 out of the 12. But we were able to find most of them and Brinlee enjoyed it for the most part.<br />

We stayed from November to March. We had already done everything last year while we were there so we didn't have much to do but hang out. Plus I was working on getting my foot fixed so I really couldn't be too active during the healing process (still working on getting it fixed but it is much better then it was). I spent a lot of time crafting on my Cricut and making tutu's for Brinlee. We went home for Christmas. I just couldn't be away from Brinlee at Christmas, she is at such a fun age right now. And spent a lot of time on FaceTime with her. She takes us with her everywhere she goes and plays with us. She gets mad when she has to hang up, and it makes me sad. <br />
We took Frank and Nancy to Tyndall Air Force base so Frank could see the planes and get his haircut. He was like a little kid.<br />

Went to Wakulla Springs to see the manatee's on a morning when it was in the 30's. We got to see several and they were mating that is why they were so active when we were there. I was so happy to be able to see them. Last year there wasn't any to see when we went.<br />

We found a boardwalk in Apalachicola that takes you out to the river. It was a nice peaceful walk out to the end.<br />

We walked on the beach at St. George Island State Park many times to find shells. On one of our walks we found this carved in the sand. We also found a good spot to find sand dollars (little ones but was able to find a lot this year). Louie surf fished and I looked for shells and sand dollars.<br />

One Sunday we checked out the Maritime Museum in Apalachicola. The area had a sponge industry at one time along with their logging industry and oyster/fishing industry. The area has a lot of history and that is what we like to see on our travels.<br />

My cousins, Kenny and Jeanne from Colorado, were staying in Panama City for a couple of months and drove over to see us for a few hours. We had a wonderful visit on a beautiful day.<br />
Kelly came and visited us too for a couple days. We took her to all our favorite areas in the short time she was visiting. (Wakulla Springs, Leon Sinks, Sopchoppy Pizza, Carrabelle Junction, and St. George Island State Park).<br />

We started a new hobby when we don't have anything else to do. Geocaching!! This is our first find in Apalachicola at Up the Creek Restaurant. This will be something I will start including in by blog from now on. We are really enjoying it and it takes you places you wouldn't normally go and you see things that aren't in your normal route. The caches come in all different sizes and difficulties. We have found many different types so far in the little time we have been doing it (we've found 42 so far and a handful we weren't able to find). We have also purchased our trinket to include in the caches when we find one we can put it in and exchange. We are looking forward to taking the kids with us when we can. It is a great family activity and I hope this will encourage some of our friends to start getting out and doing this too. It is one way to spend quality time together with your spouse, kids. and friends. You won't be disappointed on the hunting and treasures you will find. We are still new at it and still learning but once we learn new things I will include that in the blogs.<br />

This is our first micro caches we found. It took us a while to find it but once we figured out there was something that didn't belong we figured out that it was the cache.<br />

This is a location we wouldn't have found if we wouldn't have been geocaching. It was really pretty and the roots from the trees were neat(it was like this all the way down the beach). We look forward to all the new places we will go while geocaching, even at home. We wouldn't believe that they are right in front of you in places you go all the time but they are hidden so good that you wouldn't even notice them there. I don't know how many times we had been to some of the places we found some and just walked by them and had no idea. One in particular was at the bathroom at St. George Island State Park. This spot is where we would always go to walk the beach until we got a pass to go all the way to the east end of the park but would still stop there to use the bathroom before going on down.<br />

They had Fort Gordon Johnston Day/Parade while we were still there. We were in the parade last year but chose not to participate this year. They had a fly-in with some planes and helicopters from the era of WWII and many other vehicles. This is the replica of the plane (from the movie) Amelia Earhart flew.<br />

We had lunch with some of our friend from the campground at the Blue Parrott on the Island. We always have a good time with this bunch of people. They are all family to us and love them all. We had a Low Country Boil the last night we were in Carrabelle thanks to all our wonderful friends/family at the campground and it was wonderful food. <br />

Drove over to Manatee Springs this morning after we had breakfast at Holey Moley Donuts and more at Cedar Key. The water was so clear and such pretty colors. It was pretty chilly this morning too and was hoping to see some manatees but didn't see any up in the spring.<br />

These are cypress trees that we walked through on the boardwalk out to Suwannee River at the end of the spring.<br />

Got to the end of the boardwalk and there were about 20 manatees. I almost thought we might have driven all the way over there for nothing other then the park/spring itself. But they were there and I was so happy. <br />
There is a lot more we want to see here in this area so we are adding it to our stops on our way south for the winter. We didn't do any geocaching because we are going to save it for when we come back and we were only here for 2 nights. Heading to Hudson, FL in the morning after we change a tire on the trailer. We found a bulge in one and don't want to take any chances of a blow out on the way to our next stop. We will get it fixed once we get to Hudson. We will be busy the next 3 weeks beings we will be in some new locations so I should have more to blog about in the days to come. I hope everyone is still following me even though I haven't blogged in a while but really haven't had anything to share. I hope we do this year so I will keep you updated as we go.<br />

On November 12th we drove to Kingsland, GA and stayed at a campground. We weren't too impressed with the campground so we changed our departure time to head to Florida. While we were in Georgia we drove up to Skipper's Fish Camp that we liked so much when we were there a year ago. Yep, it is definitely one of those restaurants that we will go back to as often as we can. Louie had flounder and I got Brunswick stew. </div>

The next day we drove over to the Historic St. Mary's. What a neat little area this is and Louie has decided this is a contender of an area where we could live eventually. He really liked the swings at the park that overlooked the bay where you can see the boats come and go. This is also the Cumberland Island National Seashore and where you get on the ferry to go over to Cumberland Island. The day we were there the tide was 2 feet above normal and so the tide came out in the road and they had some roads blocked off.</div>

Later we went back to Jekyll Island and stopped by the Horton house and a cemetery across the road. The one person is from the 1700's. We just love this island and this is another contender of where we might live some day. But one thing is for sure, is if we camp down in that area again we will have to find a better campground to stay at. </div>

We sure have missed it. <br />
<br />
We got both, Jordan and Colton married off this year and we took a trip to Vegas (Las Vegas, NV not Las Vegas, NM). And now we are in South Carolina.<br />
<br />
The Vegas was a nightmare trip from the beginning. We had plans on taking a train out and had our tickets to go. Louie contacted Jesse (a friend of ours we were going out to see) to see how far the train station was from him. Come to find out there is no train station in Las Vegas, NV but we were going to be going to Las Vegas NM. When I booked it, it didn't give me a state and I just assumed there was only one Las Vegas. Who knew there was one in New Mexico. So I called to cancel that trip but she wanted me to go ahead and just add to what we already had. That would include another 12 hours on a train plus a 3 hours bus trip into Las Vegas, NV on top of the already 22 hour train ride out and 3 hour car ride to the train station in Chicago. We just decided to fly out and take a train ride (on our bucket list) another time. Well we got the last flight out of Indianapolis on a Friday night. Well our flight was delayed due to a broken handle on the cargo door. That took 4 1/2 hours to fix so we missed our connecting flight in Minneapolis. (Worse flight ever.) So when we got to the gate they were supposed to have new flights for us the next day. They put us on different flights arriving different times. I wasn't having any of that. We got that fixed then our seats weren't together (not on the first flight either). They gave us a hotel voucher and there was supposed to be a shuttle waiting on us. No shuttle so we stayed in the airport all night. We tried to get the first flight out the next morning on stand by but every flight that went out on Delta was over booked. So we just waited for our next flight. Luckily the rows we were in they didn't put the couples together either so we were able to move. We finally made it to Vegas 12 hours later then we had originally planned but we made it. Jesse and Rosell were there to pick us up. What a welcoming site they were. We got to our hotel and got settled in. Well our hotel was under construction so the pool was closed (we had plans of sitting by the pool all day in a cabana one day while we were there) and all the shops inside our hotel were closed as well. We got to see mostly everything in Vegas we wanted to see (the Bellagio Fountain during the day and at night, took a gondola ride at the Venetian, seen all the lights at night, went downtown, Louie got to get his picture taken with Elvis, and seen a show). On Sunday, we had a cookout at Jesse and Rosell's and Brad and Chante came down to see us from Utah. We had a wonderful time catching up and laughing. Our flight back was a much better experience and we made it home without and snags.<br />
<br />
We headed out on our winter trip on November 5th. We stopped in Kentucky for a night and then in Tennessee for 2 nights. The campground we stopped at was close to a trail head for the AT so we wanted to take advantage of hopping onto it for about a mile and coming back. Well that will be an experience I will never forget. We got about a quarter of a mile in when what appeared but a BEAR!!! <br />

<div>
I don't think I have ever been so scared for my life. But needless to say that was the end of our hike on the AT this time.</div>

<br /></div>
We found out how much we are out of shape when we had to climb these stairs at the beginning of the trailhead and it was pretty much straight up the whole short hike we took.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The hike was so stressful we had to go get something to eat. We drove into Gatlinburg and ate at Crockett's. We had eaten here before when we went last year. Louie decided he needed to get the skillet breakfast and it came out like this and all that food. He ate most of it. We also ran into one of Jordan's friends (Brady Wiles) while we were there. It really is a small world sometimes.<br />

We were asked if the trees where still in color. We didn't miss all the colors but they were about done. The mountains are so beautiful in the fall and we were so glad we got to see them again this year. They never get old.<br />
<br />
Now we are in South Carolina near Hilton Head Island. We are at a really nice campground (it's new). We are backed up to the lake on the property. Louie has fished everyday that we have been here. No luck the first day but last night we were able to catch some blue gill with dough. This morning he caught a few bass. He is loving that he can still fish in November. <br />

This tiny house is parked permanently here at the campground. On the other side it has solar panels on the roof. It is cute but I'm not too sure if I could live in something quite that small.<br />

Yesterday we drove over to Hilton Head Island. We seen the lighthouse and walked around a little. Drove over to South Beach and another beach. We weren't too impressed with one of the beaches because it had a huge pipe that ran down the whole beach and just wasn't attractive.<br />

The island is still cleaning up from Hurricane Matthew. I guess they just recently opened it back up to the public. So we seen a lot of the damage that they are still trying to fix. However, we have decided that the island is way too big for us and way too busy. I can't even imagine what it is like during peek season. We like the smaller not so busy islands.<br />

Today we went to Pinckney Island National Wildlife Refuge. We weren't sure if we would see much wildlife since it is November but we did end up seeing a few butterflies and birds. Oh, and I almost stepped on a snake. Let's just say it scared me a little bit (caught me off guard). My nerves are still a bit touchy still from the bear incident. But it was a nice little hike this morning (we hiked about 2 miles in). After that we stopped at the outlet mall to pick up a few things before we head out Saturday. Tomorrow we are running to Camping World over by Savannah to pick up a few things we need as well and maybe go out to eat for Veterans Day. </div>

We have been back in Carrabelle for two weeks. We are so happy to be back. It just feels like home here. We had to move sites today and everyone thought we were leaving. But they were all happy to know we weren't going anywhere other then the other side of he park. We haven't done much since we have been back other then enjoying the weather and getting in our daily exercise. We drove to Tyndall AFB one day, and to Alligator Point and St. George Island to look for shells. Just complete relaxation before we head back home for the summer to get ready for the big wedding in September.<br />
<br />
Our welcome signs when we got back to Carrabelle. Or should I say the dogs.<br />

This is the kind of beach we had when we were in Mississippi. However the beach across the street from the campground we were at was just a cement barrier. They weren't as nice as the one we have here in Carrabelle.<br />

It really has been a rough stay this week. We had to worry about possible evacuation for a fire and then Louie trying to handle the French Quarters and driving in New Orleans. But we made it through and completed the list.<br />
<br />
Sunday, the 7th, we were going to so to WWII museum in Ocean Springs but we were afraid of getting stuck in the middle of Mardi Grad festivities. So we stayed in and just waited for the Super Bowl to come on. Pretty happy that the Broncos won, not that we are Bronco fans but for Payton Manning.<br />
<br />
Monday, the 8th, we went to Bay St. Louis (which is just a couple miles down the road) to check out the little shops. Just our luck they are all closed on Monday and that was the only day we had opened to do this. So went to the historic train depot where they have a small Mardi Gras museum. Believe it or not but when Katrina came through they used the depot to house all the people who came to help do rescue and clean-up. Just a fun fact that we learned. Then we were going to go back into Waveland to see a War & Peace museum until I figured out that it had nothing to do with War & Peace, instead it was just a persons private collection of model cars. So, we can say a lot of the things on my list were duds this time. <br />

A Catholic cemetery by the depot. Just thought it was neat.<br />
Tuesday, the 9th, was Fat Tuesday and there was no way we were getting out this day in fear of getting caught in the crowds of anything Mardi Gras. However, we did decide to go the Louisiana welcome center to get brochures of things to do while we are close by and in New Orleans. The people in there were so helpful and full of information. We did drive to Slidell to check it out and ended up going to Hobby Lobby and may have or may not have bought some stuff for Jordan's wedding (LOL). <br />
<br />
Wednesday, the 10th, we made our first visit to New Orleans. This was not a real good way to start out our New Orleans experience. The traffic was backed up and some guy cut us off and almost hit us and the car beside us and then when he decided cut back across traffic to take the ramp because he was very impatient, he proceeded to flip us off all the way down the ramp and while he was sitting at the light waiting for it to change. I wonder why he didn't have the balls to do it when he knew we could confront him. So that accelerated Louie's anxiety and made the rest of the day exhausting for him. Good thing we only had one place to go to this day. We made to our location at Villalobos Rescue Center. This was a scary drive down in what looks like the bad side of town, But you can still see a lot of the devastation from Katrina. So many places are still abandoned and just left to rot. It really is sad to see. But the tour of Villalobos was neat. We got to see Tanya while we were waiting to check in. Earl from the show gave us our tour (Sui also gives the tours). I can't believe they can tell you the history of every dog they have considering how many they have. You just want to take them all home with you. Hopefully they will all get loving homes someday.<br />

Thursday, the 11th, we went back to New Orleans and visited Mardi Gras World and Aquarium of Americas. At Mardi Gras World we took a tour of the warehouse (I believe she said they have 5 more full of props). This is where they make most of the things they put on and decorate the floats with for all the different parades during the Mardi Gras season (I think there are like 50 some parades). It is so neat because the people who own the floats just rent all the props that is put on them so they can be revamped and used again for later years. The people let them know right after Mardi Gras what their themes are for the next year and they start on designing them from a sketch, to black and white, then to color, and then onto the actual project. A lot of them are made and carved out of Styrofoam. Other things are made out of wood and they apply paper Mache to make them smooth so they can be painted. They also do all the cows at this location for Chick-Fil-A and do somethings for Disney as well. They had brought some of the floats in from this years parades already to be taken apart to start on their new look for next year. The ones we got to see were so bright, detailed and pretty, I would hate to take it all apart. But that is what they do, so there is something new for the next year. After this we headed over to the aquarium. It is ranked as one of the top aquariums in the US. It was a very nice one although I haven't been to many. We thoroughly enjoyed it. There were so many neat fish and even an albino alligator. <br />
This is the day we came back to a fire close by that we were warned of a possible evacuation. Luckily, 6 hours later they were able to get it under control.<br />

The front of one of the floats. Look at all the detail. It must take forever to get them to look so good. This is why they keep them and just restore them if they work for something else for another year.<br />

The fire that almost caused us to evacuate.<br />
<br />
Friday, the 12th, we attempted the French Quarters. I never guessed this was going to take Louie back to Iraq in Sadar City. He said so much of it reminded him of it, the smells and the narrow roads with builds close together or attached. So, it was a rough day for him. We were able to walk around a little and see a few of the main sites and I got to get my Beignets. We tried to walk down to Bourbon Street but didn't make it 1/2 block before we had to turn around. This is where we had to end our visit and head back home.<br />

An artist on the street. Louie wanted me to take a picture of her bike. It was all decked out in Saints.<br />
The streets were lined with all types of artist and in front of the Cathedral were all these tarot/palm readers. It was little too freaky for me. We also got to hear some of the street musicians.<br />

The second fire.<br />
<br />
Those last 3 days we tried to hit 3 different restaurants that were on our list to eat at while there but they were all no goes. The first one had a huge line and was in a sketchy area of town with no where to park. The second one was more on a main street but also had a long line. (This means to us that it will be packed inside, won't be able to sit where we want, and will be loud: all no goes for Louie.) The last one was down the street we started walking down but had to turn around. So these will just have to be marked off the list of not able to try.<br />
<br />
Saturday, we just stayed home to let Louie re-coop after the last 3 days of stress for him. We just have one more day that I want to go back to New Orleans. So I knew he needed this rest. Oh, and another fire started down the road but in a different location. This one didn't look as bad but they said there are many around due to the dry conditions here. It burned for about 2 days though.<br />
<br />
Sunday, Happy Valentine's Day, we headed back to New Orleans for our last day there. We checked out the WWII museum. What a neat place. There are 5 building and are working on building another one. The fifth building is only open on certain days and this was not one of them. We watched a 4D movie that was pretty intense. The museums were just great and well worth the cost to get in. I definitely recommend you check this out if you are ever in the New Orleans area. You can even look up people that earned Medal of Honors, and you get a dog tag that you use throughout the museum for interaction of certain people during the war. I got a female pilot who was part of WASP, and Louie got an Artillery Man. Then you can use those dog tags to look up what you learned when you get home. <br />

We drove passed the Superdome.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, the 15th, we start getting things ready to leave on Tuesday. We are ready to head back to Carrabelle before he head home for the summer. We sure aren't going to miss the trains that run all hours of the day near our campground here in Mississippi. Until next time......Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226289847022307907noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850007401089433626.post-25705587564926104582016-02-06T15:18:00.001-08:002016-02-06T15:18:09.552-08:00First week in Southern MississippiWe got here (Buccaneer State Park, Waveland, MS) on the 1st and it was foggy when we got here so we couldn't really check things out. Tuesday was no different since there was a big storm coming in that night. So we drove around a little but really couldn't see much. There was a donut place(Granny's Donuts) we drove by and of course had to try. They were pretty good and want to go back and try their hot breakfast before we leave. The storm came and we survived, luckily we only got a lot of heavy rain but none of the tornados they predicted. However, counties north of us did see some of the tornados unfortunately. But it was a sleepless night for us and of course a train had to come through during the storm so that really freaked me out. I have always heard a tornado sounds like a train. Louie told me that if it was it would have been too late for us to seek shelter at that point. Luckily it wasn't and we were safe.<br />
<br />
Wednesday we took a tour of Stennis Space Center, this is a test center for NASA. It was really neat. It is like a military base, you must get a pass to get on the installation, it has all the amenities of a military base, expect housing. It even has it own zip code, and 2 colleges have campuses there. We got to go out and see some of the test pads, but they weren't testing anything the day we went. To be able to go on the tour you must start at Infinity Center and this is like an interactive space museum. We got to see some really neat things. We stopped by the welcome center next door to get some info. They had it all decorated with Mardi Gras garb. They take Mardi Gras very serious down here even though we aren't in New Orleans. There are parades going on everywhere. Later we went to Bay St. Louis to the Veterans Memorial and ate at The Blind Tiger. <br />
<br />
Thursday we went to Gulfport to a car museum, not real impressive and small but it was something to do. We went on the Navy base to see a Seabee Museum but once again we couldn't find it and Louie said we weren't driving around like we did at Fort Stewart to try and find it so we just went to the exchange and picked up a few things and checked out the campground on the base. (If we ever come back this way we will go there. We will feel much safer then where we are right now. We really don't like the area we are at and are cutting our visit short because of it.) We then stopped by to see the Friendship Tree. I didn't take pictures of it because it is on a campuses and there was nowhere to park during the week. So we will go back on a weekend. However, legend says it is over 400 years old and was bearing nuts before Columbus came to America. It is huge!! (Pictures to come.) We came back to the campground and started hard and heavy back to trying to get some of our weight off, making sure we get 10,000 steps, 5 miles, and 10 floors in a day. And of course we always overdue it the first day and did 15 floors continuously. <br />

This is were I lost a day somewhere. I woke up Friday morning thinking Thursday was Wednesday all day and Friday was Thursday. Boy have I been screwed up ever since. But I guess it really doesn't matter since we have no agenda. <br />
<br />
So Friday the 5th, we had breakfast at Tato Nuts (donuts). Let me just say delish!!!! They rank right up there with Round Rock Donuts and even come warm. I am just really glad they aren't close by. (One of my weaknesses.) Drove down to the Gulf Islands National Seashore Visitors Center and learned about how the barrier islands were years ago and how they have changed over the years. Who knew they actually move west and how they help protect the mainland from weather. It is crazy how nature works. Once we left there we went and seen the Mississippi Veterans Memorial Park and a model train museum (This was disappointing too after seeing the one in Indiana last year, but I guess you have to start somewhere. What was neat about it was some of the trains were made out of Legos.). On the way back we stopped at the harbor in Gulfport to see a giant pipe laying ship. After we got back we went and made sure we got all our goals in for the day and when it came time to do the stairs to get the floors in I was very sore from the day before but I got it done. We had a date night, which is something we never do since we never go anywhere after about 3. But we eat out during the day and don't call it date night. It was just something different for us and enjoyed it. We ate at Trapani's in Bay St. Louis. Louie had Flounder stuffed with crab and he said it was very good. He loves his seafood and fish. Me on the other hand not so much, I had a salad(trying to be good after the donuts....lol). Oh, I didn't mention that the campground filled up real quick last night. There are people everywhere. We are hoping most of them are just here for the weekend or Mardi Gras.<br />
<br />
Today we stopped at Biloxi's Visitor's Center and Lighthouse. Seen the USS Biloxi Mast and then headed down to see the Maritime and Seafood Industry Museum. We had to make sure we got back to the trailer before all the parades and festivities began today. We had lunch at Bubba Gump's and then headed back home. Louie said we are taking a break from our goals for the day today and will make up for it in the morning before we do anything. He said he has some different stuff for us to do. I may not be able to move after this is all over with. <br />

I have every day planned out the rest of our time while we are here since we decided to cut our trip short and want to go back to Carrabelle. So I will have lots of stuff to share with you during this trip. I hope you all are enjoying everything we have seen as much as we have. Until next time.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226289847022307907noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850007401089433626.post-41873541423037905422016-01-28T05:12:00.001-08:002016-01-28T05:12:53.687-08:00Florida is coming to an end :(Our time here in Carrabelle is coming to an end. We are going to miss all the people we have met and this place in general. We have definitely found a place we will come back to every year. But this journey is all about moving on and that is what we have to do. We will be heading to Mississippi for a month and we are looking forward to seeing new things. However, the good news is, that we will be coming back to were we feel at home away from home: Carrabelle. We will be stopping back before we head back home for the summer. <br />
<br />
Some of the things we have done lately: took a drive to a part of Apalachicola National Forest, St. Mark's Lighthouse and wildlife preserve, a chartered fishing trip, survived our first tornado siren in the trailer away from home, Leon Sinks National Park, another trip to Mexico Beach, and several walks on the beaches.<br />
<br />
I had to breakdown and buy a new computer so now that I loaded my pictures I don't know how to rotate them. I have a few snags to iron out but I will get back to getting everything on track again just bear with me until then.<br />

Louie and I's biggest catches of the day on our fishing trip. We caught lots of speckled trout and we each caught a catfish. Our guide said that is was very unusual to catch a catfish this time of year. I caught this big guy on an ultralight rod.<br />

Some of the sinks had some really clear water. There are also caves down under there that have been explored.<br />

This sink was neat because it still had ground above it. It was more of a cave like sink.<br />

I know I said I was going to update on a regular basis but my laptop took a crap. Well it's back up and running so now I have a lot of catching up to do.<br />
<br />
Now, going back to December:<br />
We were really enjoying the wonderful weather we had. We were able to get a lot of sun and enjoy the beach across the road. We checked out the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve in Eastpoint. Louie really enjoyed it and we got to see some really neat things. It was foggy that day so in the salt marsh that you can walk through you would get sprinkled on from the water dripping off the trees. But a very interesting place and we plan on visiting it again. On the 18th, we ended up driving home early for Christmas, Colton needed help moving and we knew we couldn't do it in the 3 days we were originally planning on being home. We were still able to surprise the kids but not how we planned on. We definitely had some great times with Brinlee. She is at such a great age, and I just love her giggles. We also finally got to meet our other granddaughter, Kingsley, for the first time. She is precious as well. While home, I found out that I have a bone spur on my foot and that is why I have been in so much pain and not able to walk. I got an injection before we left and hopefully it will help. So far, it has been better but I haven't been using it as much as I have in the past few months. We also had an expensive vet bill. Brinlee accidentally scratched Dukes eye so he had to have an emergency visit to the vet and had to have eye drops for a while and a shot. Gunner has a cough that he can't get rid of. He had it before we left and they gave him meds but it came back. They wanted to do x-rays if he continued to have the problem so we got those while we were home. She thought maybe he had an enlarged heart but wanted to send it off to a specialist to make sure. Well, he has what they call allergy induced bronchitis. So he will be on meds for several months to hopefully get him back to normal. We think the meds wear him out because his really isn't himself since being on them. But hopefully now we are all on the road to recovery.<br />
<br />
January:<br />
Now we are back at Carrabelle and have really missed it. We don't want to leave here, we love the people and area so much. So we have changed our original plans in March to come back here for 2 weeks before heading back home for the summer/Jordan's wedding. We have gotten some more sightseeing done. We have been to: Tate's Hell State Forest-Boardwalk (there are dwarf cypress trees there that are over a 100 years old), Gulf Specimen Aquarium (this is hands on, and can touch many of the exhibits), John Gorrie Museum (he invented the ice machine/AC), Wakulla Springs State Park (got to see Manatess and Alligators), Ochlockonee River State Park, FSU Coastal and Marine Laboratories ( they do record-able research, but nothing was going on while we were there), Tarpine Fly-In Community, and many other places along the way. There is so much more to see yet and many of the places we want to go see again. It really is amazing what there is to see if you just go and find it. And how different things can be just by turning down a road.<br />

There are so many more pictures but it takes so long to load I try to limit them to the ones that I enjoy the most and hope you all do as well.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226289847022307907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850007401089433626.post-85026617584578610762015-12-13T20:58:00.001-08:002015-12-13T20:58:07.129-08:00State Parks and the Beaches<p dir="ltr">This week we didn't do too much but enjoy the beautiful warm sun of Florida. We did hit a couple of state parks and went to a couple different beaches. We took our bikes over to St. George Island to ride, they have a great bike path there and not very many people are there.</p>

A crab in his hole. <br />
<br />
We have been here in Carrabelle, FL (in the panhandle along the coast) since Thursday. It was pretty chilly here the first day, I don't think it ever reached 60 degrees. But since then it has warmed up nicely, even enough to get a tan. We are right across the road from the beach, and we can usually see dolphins swimming on our walks along the beach. It is really nice here and the people at the resort are very friendly and full of information. The first night we ate at Red Pirate in Eastpoint, recommended by the locals, it was not bad.<br />
<br />
On Friday, we drove to St. George Island. This is a very nice island, but since it is off season there isn't very many people there and some of the restaurants are closed. We seen the lighthouse and drove down to the State Park that has a campground (not that nice and probably would never stay there, but the park is nice and so is the beach). We walked on the beach which has a lot of shells to see, I even found my first sand dollar, small but they aren't easy to find. We ate at Paddy's raw oyster bar, no one ate raw oysters, but Louie said his Buffalo Shrimp wrap was the best food he has ate yet.<br />
<br />
Saturday, we drove around some of the sightseeing spots in Carrabelle, some were duds, but others where worth seeing. There are some more stuff we need to go back and check out, like the ferry to Dog Island WWII museum, and Tate's Hell State Park. Once we were done driving around we came back and just enjoyed the beautiful sunshine by the trailer.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, we went back to St. George Island because we just wanted a relaxing day, so we just looked for shells on the beach, I found 2 more sand dollars (little but it was better then nothing). We also got up early enough to make it across the road to the beach to see the sunrise. I have to admit this is the first time I actually paid attention to the sun rising and it was absolutely amazing. I have just always lived by letting the world pass me by, but not anymore. We are enjoying everything to the fullest now.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226289847022307907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850007401089433626.post-91704826757985805442015-11-30T17:55:00.001-08:002015-11-30T17:57:58.239-08:00Louie's ChildhoodToday we drove to Deltona, Sanford, Daytona Beach, Ponce Inlet, and New Smyrna Beach (North). Louie wanted to check out the old houses he used to live in when he was growing up. He said they haven't changed much from 30 years ago. He began to reminisce and tell me about some of the good times he had. This is a rare occasion since his memory isn't the best anymore. Daytona Beach and Ponce Inlet were for me, I have never been to Daytona Beach and wanted to go. So since we were so close and had the dogs with us (didn't have to hurry back to take care of them), we decided to just go ahead to check it out. Well the dogs weren't allowed on Daytona Beach so we had to drive down to Ponce Inlet to a beach they are aloud on. I got to see a tortoise alongside the road on our way back to the main road. I love seeing the wildlife like it should be.<br />
<br />
Staurday, Louie's uncle and his new wife (Gary and Nancy) came to visit with us here at the campground. We had a great visit and we went down to the cafe here at the campground for dinner. We sat outside on the patio to eat. Well, it is by the lake and everyone knows how much the mosquitoes love me. They tore me up and now I have probably 50 bites all over my legs. Let's just say I am miserable. I just want to scratch my skin off right now. But it will pass and life goes on.<br />
<br />
Yesterday we went to the pool. It was a perfect day to relax poolside. (79 degrees with a slight breeze) We had the pool by ourselves for most of the time. Later some older ladies came down and were talking. We overheard them talking about a BBQ joint down the road. We are always up for some good food, so we went and checked it out after getting our tan on. The place was really neat and the Redneck Eggrolls are to die for. I would have never thought to put coleslaw and pork in an eggroll. But let me tell you------delicious!!! I got to talk to Brinlee (one-way conversation right now, but she was trying to figure out where my voice was coming from) on the phone and got many pictures of her. Colton had her and they went out to lunch with Jordan and my parents for Jordan's 23rd birthday. We exchanged pictures of what we were eating. Lame, but it is nice to see what everyone is doing back home.<br />
<br />
For Thanksgiving we were lazy most of the day. I made chicken and noodles in the crock pot and bought mashed potatoes. Yummy!!! We got to Skype with everyone at my parents house for a couple of hours. Didn't get to see Brinlee, that was disappointing. But is was nice to see everyone since we weren't there. Then we put up our little Christmas tree. It works for us since we don't have much room and I don't like a lot of clutter.<br />

Drove through Ocala National Forest today. Seen a bear on the side of the road that was probably hit by a car. That's the closest I want to be to a bear.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05226289847022307907noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850007401089433626.post-56504524049133443602015-11-25T04:38:00.003-08:002015-11-25T04:38:51.118-08:00Cirta, FLIt's supposed to warm up to 75* today,the low last night was 53*. We aren't doing too much while we are here. This is going to be down time for us. We've seen some wildlife that we don't normally see, and there are a couple eagles that fly around here but I always miss the opportunity to get a picture of them. We drove to Rainbow Springs State Park yesterday to check out the campground. But where we are staying now is very nice and if we are in this area again this will definitely be the place we come back to. We also had some oranges and grapefruits mailed off to my parents. They should be getting fresh fruit in a few days. We are close to Ocala and it has everything we need. However, the resort we are on has so much to do that we really don't have to leave unless we want to.<br />

At the Brickyard 400 on the track before the race. We got first class treatment at the race. We got to ride in the pace car, go to the driver's meeting, have lunch with the crew, sit in the pit box during the race, a suite it we wanted to watch the race from there instead of pit rode,the garages, and just the experience was unbelievable.<br />
