Juicy Lucy

On the day we went to Fort Myers we stopped by Juicy Lucy's for hamburgers before heading for the beach to catch a sunset. Pretty good burgers and tenderloin sandwiches.

Sweet Fruit

Well, I wanted to post as much, as fast as possible about our trip. It was a great trip, I'm sorry for it to come to an end. I think I could actually live there. Maybe some day I will be a "snow bird".

The fruit trees at the house had already been cleaned off. We had just a few to enjoy and bring home with us. I love the fruit right off the trees, so juicy and sweet, not at all like what you buy at the grocery store. The strawberries were so delicious and sweet.

Need more space?

Few more pix!

Space..........the Final Frontier

We had been to the space center something like 24 years ago. Totally different now.....such a neat place ......but one day is not enough, we went the following day also. Amazing how far we have come.........and gone.

Osceola Flea Market

Saturday March 8th my hubby and I took off to Osceola Flea Market. Sunday March 9th we went to the "Super Flea" in Melbourne. Lots of fun hubby then surprised me when we left Melbourne and headed north. We ended up at the Kennedy Space Center. More on that in the next post!

More Edison & Ford

Too many pix I want to share!

Edison & Ford

March 7th we took off early for Ft. Myers. I had been to Edison's Estate in Ft Myers two times many years ago. They now have opened for tours Henry Ford's Estate right next to Edison's. This is such a fascinating place. The beauty and history is wonderful. Plants from all over the world. Just the accomplishments of these two men is incredible.

Moose and Dominoes

Thursday March 6th we went to Lake Placid to my hubby's aunt and uncles. His aunt has always been my favorite aunt on his side. Lots of fun. We visited a short time at their house then they took us to the Moose Club and had hamburgers and watched some great older couples cut a mean rug! I wish I would have taken my camera to the Moose, but I didn't. We then ended up back at their house and played dominoes. It was a good visit, I'm glad we were able to get together with them on this trip.

Deep Sea Fishing - Wednesday

Wednesday March 5th we finally done something we had wanted to do for a long time......Deep Sea Fishing! It was so fun, we didn't catch much but it was a great time and I can't wait to go again. We took a boat called the "Lady Stuart" out of Stuart, Florida. Next time we want to try the gulf side. I loved the dolphins!

Lobster Frenzy

On March 4th my hubby and I made a trip to Orlando to Bostons Lobster Feast. A seafood buffet with all the lobster you can eat. The food was great, and I love the lobster car!

Yummy!

The lobster tails averaged 4" long, I had 4, my hubby had 10, he took it as a personal challenge. I think he would have had more but we had to leave to meet our daughter and her friend.

Sunset on Bradenton Beach

We stuck around for the sunset.
Our daughter took the trip with us, she meet up that evening with a friend of hers in Tampa. Hubby and I drove back to Okeechobee to get ready for another great day in sunny Florida. We didn't know it when we left for our trip, but the weather turned cold in Fort Worth and they had ice and some snow. We lucked out, some rain in Florida, but not once did it keep us from doing what ever we wanted. That made the week even more enjoyable

Red Hat Ladies

While at Bradenton Beach we ran into some of the coolest ladies. The Red Hat Ladies! They seemed to be having more fun than anybody on the beach. I spoke to them for a few minutes and took their pix. I need to look into this group of fun ladies. I was told I'm not old enough yet for a red hat but I could be an Orchid with a pink hat!
