Falling Water State Park

This morning we took a walk to the water fall before we left.

Falling Water is a beautiful park that we hope to return to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have made it just west of Houston, TX.  The weather is not to bad here.  Just make sure you turn up the heat in Arizona before we get there!!

Checking out Florida - Round #2

Universal Studio

This was one busy 50th birthday!

We spent the day riding some awesome rides and eating some wonderful food. 

                               

And then there was my 50th Birthday Dinner at Emeril's
 

Checking out Florida - Round #1

Disney Downtown

Rather than go to the parks again, we opted to spend the day at Disney Downtown.  We ate a wonderful restaurant called Raglan Road.

 These are some random shots of our day at Disney Downtown

MacDill AFB FAM Camp

 

Of all the FAM camps we have stayed at, MacDill AFB was the largest. 

The buildings are very impressive and the Central Command and the hangers were

my favorites.

 

 

 

And since we were on the water the sunsets were beautiful.

 

 

 

We also took a trip to Ybor City.  This old town has a lot of funky shops and there was a lot to see.

 

 

 

 

 

While were in Ybor City we had a wonderful dinner at The Columbia. 

Thanks to Mary & Barc for the suggestion.

 

 

 

 

Our Second FAM Camp

This is Cocoa Beach, Florida while staying at the Patrick AFB FAM Camp.  We have had some very windy-wet days here but I was able to get some great pictures.

 

The first night we had a groups of very busy horseshoe crabs on the beach. 

We had a lot of cloudy days and that made the sunsets beautiful.

 

 

This was one of the highlights and we only got to see it once.  I realize I need to take more pictures of things moving.  This ship was hard to center.

 

 

 

 



We had a couple days where the wind just whipped.  It was hard to sleep because of the noise.  These pictures are from one of those windy mornings.

 

Because we are in Florida, we still have beautiful flowers in bloom.

 This is the rig after she has been battered by sand, salt and wind.  She looks pretty good.

 

 

We also did the tourist things and went to the Kennedy Space Center, Cocoa Beach, Port Canaveral, and the Astronaut Hall of Fame.

 

 

 

 

 

 This is a 5 ft. shark in the water.  We were on the pier and a guy had hooked it and was trying to reel it in.  The shark walked him twice around the pier then headed for shore.  He finally got off the pier and went to the shore where his rod was tethered down to him.  He landed the shark and then set it free.  It was exciting!

 

These pictures were taken from the Exploration Tower in Port Canaverial.  This building just opened and really puts meaning to the areas history.

 

 

 

 

 

We ate at Baja Tavern at the port.  It was my first lobster roll.  I didn't eat the bread, just wanted the lobster!  The kitty is a member of the "I love seafood club".  She is a little wild but loves to be rubbed. 

 

 



The Astronaut Hall of Fame was fantastic.  I wish we would have had more time to really read everything.

 

 

 

We are currently parked at Lazy Days in Seffner, Florida waiting to have the dash repaired.  Seems Gorilla Tape wont hold it in place.

Oh the DRAMA!!

 

 

Next stop McDill AFB!
