The Best Part of Living in Florida is Visitors From "BackNorth"

Last week Nancy's sister - Lori - and nephew - Tyler - came for a visit. They flew from Philadelphia to Jacksonville. Nancy picked them up at the airport.

It was just a wonderful visit. They stayed in our guest house. We did a lot of swimming - toured the Capitol - went to museums - went bike riding to the coast - picked blueberries - went shopping - and just enjoyed each other's company. One of the highlights was the jungle cruise at Wakulla Springs where we saw tons of alligators. The water is so clear there that they filmed "The Creature of the Black Lagoon" and "Tarzan" there a long time ago.

Nancy spent the last 2 days with them in Saint Augustine - where they stayed on the beach - toured the town - went to the Fountain of Youth - and Ripley's Museum. After drivng the car onto the beach - they had to catch an early morning flight back home.

We hope they come back soon - especially in the winter. Next time we hope niece Dana comes along. Dana is the closest thing to a daughter that Nancy has. Dana looks like Nancy back when I married her.
