Tampa




We have been in Tampa since Friday.





We spent some time at Bush Gardens. It isn't quite what we expected, but had fun. We thought we would be seeing gardens, but it is an African/jungle theme park so saw lots of exotic animals. Bob and I only went on one ride and came out absolutely SOAKED! Fortunately, I had a raincoat for the camera case and it was about the only thing on me that wasn't wet.

















On Saturday we went to the Kennedy Space Station hoping to see the shuttle landing. We didn't get to see it, but it is still an absolutely fascinating place to visit. Saw a few alligators in the water along the road. The area is a wildlife refuge.

I have been at the Society meeting on Sunday and Monday. We will be leaving today to continue to southern Florida.

We are in an RV park that is older, has a very mixed group of residents.

The internect connection is iffy so will try to get more photos posted later.

Latest pictures

I couldn't get the latest photos on my last posting. Here is my next attempt.

Report from Alabama





We are almost at the Florida border. Bob has had a daily dual with huge winds. He hasn't even considered asking me to learn to drive this rig.

Doesn't look like there will be a break until Saturday when we will be parked in Tampa for several days.

We plan to go to Silver Springs in northern Florida tomorrow and may be out of the nasty stuff.

We made a stop at a casino for free parking last night and are at a place in Robertsdale Alabama tonight. I will post some photos taken in the last couple of days. We stopped at Fontainebleau State Park to look at Lake Ponchartrain today and got a few pictures. Bob quickly pointed out a Moccasen Water Snake to let me know I needed to watch my step!

Scott was our hero last night when he could guide Bob to the electrical problem that was cutting out half of our outlets including the TV! Thank your Scott!

More pictures to come.
