Visiting Dave's Family

On Wednesday morning we headed out to Central Florida to visit Dave's family.  I love to drive through the country roads of Florida.  It was a beautiful day, cool enough to roll the windows down and let the wind blow through my hair!  Boy, does that sound corny!


Anyway, it was beautiful - especially for all my friends in California - There were all shades of green!  Hay Bales, Cow Pastures, Old Farm Buildings, Orange Groves, Spanish Moss, Heron and Egrets!  Love it!

We had a very enjoyable visit with his mother then off to his sister Cindy's house.  They both live in Sebring, FL.  Soon after we arrived Cindy's husband, Tim, came home from work and then his niece, Krissy showed up with her partner, Philip and their cutie pie, Mason.  We enjoyed a glass of wine along with hamburgers right off the grill sitting in their Florida room enjoying the unbelievable low humidity.  Shortly after finishing dinner we headed about an hour and half north to Haines City to visit Dave's dad, Bill and his wife, Janet.


Bill and Janet live on a beautiful lake in the interior of Florida, Lake Marion.  We enjoyed sitting up with them and sharing our plans for the next year.  The next morning we woke up to a beautiful view out the back of their house.  Oh yeah, and there are gators floating out in that lake and plenty of them so you don't go swimming!

Janet had to leave for work and then we spent a little more time with Dave's dad drinking coffee.  After a short while we got in the van and headed back to St. Pete to spend some time with my mom, sister and her family.
