Florida Trip 2018

This year is our 50th anniversary.  Jan. 27th to be exact.  Big plans to celebrate with the family on the 27th and head south on the 28th.  Linda was under the weather and it was postponed to the next week.  The next week Terry was under the weather so it was postponed until we return from this years Florida trip. 

This is to be the honeymoon we never had.

We left home on Feb. 17th for Durham, NC to attend a surprise birthday party for my cousin's wife Connie.  It was good to connect with them again.  Then on to Knoxville, TN to visit with friends for a couple of days.

In NC we stopped for lunch at a truck stop. 

The only place to park was with the big rigs. 

Linda thought it was cool to have Big Blue

and the Teeny Tiny House in line with the big boys.

We arrived at Sea Oaks Motel in Destin FL on Feb. 21 and will be here until Feb 28 when we head east and south to Lake City.

The Destin area (Panhandle of FL near Pensacola) has some of the most beautiful white sand beaches to be found anywhere.  This part of Florida is called the "Emerald Coast" for good reason.  The waters of the Gulf are emerald green.
