Within Five Minutes of Arrival...

... Bridget caught a frog!

The Eagle has Landed!

They said it couldn't be done. They said it shouldn't be done. We did it anyway! Made it to Grandpa's in Ft. Myers, Florida. Five days on the road. Now the real fun begins! Where and what are we doing next. Check in and see!

Pronunciation Lesson

Meee-ah-kah? I don't think so Pete.

This One Goes Out to MaryAnn Dach

We gave Maryann's parents, Julio and Maria, a wink as we went by Sarasota, Fl.

Finally a Proper Road Sign

So annoying...miles and miles of road signs giving the distance to Naples! Hello....Ft. Myers is way bigger than Naples AND it is closer! Clearly, I need to call the Florida Dept. of Transportation and get this cleared up. We shudda been seeing Ft. Myers signs long before we got to Ruskin, Fl. Nevermind the fact that the Naples signs showed up back in Gainesville.

Evidence We Are in Florida

Off to Ft. Myers!

0600 hours. Time to get up after an hour of sleep (dang bubbas), cup of joe, few bites of breakfast, then a quick trip to Grandpa's house.

Dang Bubbas

There is a group of hunters at our campground. Real good ol' boys with boots, jeans, John Deer tractor caps, and diesel pick-up trucks. So what happened at 3:30 am? The trucks get loaded, doors slam, and you know you have to let a truck idle for an hour to warm up, and then rev it up some before you go. Kids slept right through it. Dang bubbas! Don't they know it is quiet time?
