Anna Maria Island, Fl – Family Christmas

It has been a couple of weeks since my last blog update. We have been very busy with a new relocation and a vacation thrown in for good measure. After having gone this long without typing my thoughts and searching for some good photos, I have found that I miss the updates. Miss the composing of these short essays.

Well, I’m back now and will try to get caught up on the prior few weeks. Going back to mid-December, our three kids all flew down to our base camp near Anna Maria Island, Florida, just south of Tampa on the gulf coast. We had been looking forward to their arrival and spending three days with them just hanging out and enjoying the great weather.

Merry Christmas!

A short post today to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas. Some photos below from the last few days around Anna Maria Island, Florida.

We are in Cortez Florida for one more week before relocating to the east coast of Florida. Hopefully, I’ll have the blog caught up by then! I have the last three weeks that include a visit from our kids and many visits with local family and friends!

Take care and God Bless.

Where to Winter Next Year (2020-21)?

So, with that in mind, we plan to go somewhere south for the winter and then move into the northern states during the summer months. So, now the question is, where to winter next year (2020-21)?

St. Augustine, Florida – The Oldest City!

Next up on our planned travel schedule is St. Augustine, Florida. The oldest city in the US. Technically, it is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement within the borders of the continental United States. Our week-long stay here was nearly perfect with many sunrises/sunsets, walks about the old historic city, and a meeting with some RV friends.

Savannah, Ga – We Are Back Again!

This is our third trip to this beautiful southern city. Savannah, Ga – we are back again! The first visit was just after I retired in May 2017. The second time was the entire month of March in 2018 when we met family (Mike & Lorna). This visit was just one week on our way south to Florida for the winter. We revisited some of our favorite restaurants, walked many of the 22 squares, and met up with some RV friends. Savannah is one of our favorites!

DC Museum Visits

It continues to amaze me at the quality of museums in our nation’s capital. The Smithsonian Museums have some new displays each time that we visit. There are also many other private museums in the city and we were able to work in a new one. In this post, I’ve included a few highlights from our DC museum visits and a few photos. Enjoy.
