Who knows how many times we have stopped at this rest area on I-75-S, the official Florida Welcome Center. This time we saw a couple taking pictures of each other by the sign. We offered to take photos of the two of them and then they took our photo too! There aren’t too many things that would lure us to The Sunshine State in August but a family reunion in honor of Karen’s parents’ 65th Wedding Anniversary is one. Even as we were taking our break, we were getting text messages from family members as they were landing at various airports. Let the party begin!
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
