Visit to Florida

Last weekend we went down to Florida to visit Dorinda's grandparents on her dads side. Flew down Friday morning and came home Monday night via Southwest at $72 each way which is probably cheaper than gas to drive it.

We had a nice visit with them and got to hear alot of stories about them growing up, her grandpop is just recently suffering from Post-traumatic stress disorder from his time spent in France during WWII as a heavy machine-gunner. On Sunday we drove down to Treasure Island beach and spent a night at a hotel on the beach. There was a group playing drums on the beach which was pretty cool!

Woke up Monday and spent a few hours at Fort DeSoto- checked out the historic fort and read on the beach for awhile before flying home.
Got to use the new GPS which was invaluable for getting around- no more maps and directions!

We brought home 40 pounds of fresh oranges and grapefruit from the trees in their yard!

You need to get those stories recorded and transcribed, especially about WWII. Those are pricelsss.
