Friends and Relatives

We took a little trip into Florida to visit friends and Rose's sister.  We were fortunate to stay with someone every night except two.  No pictures from our first stop, Savannah, but then we got some shots from each spot.  But first below is the most recent picture of Mairead aka Mazie from the San Diego part of the clan.

Pat and Katie...our first stop with a gift to go to Aaron

Second stop was in Palmetto to visit Rose's sister Mary and friend Ned

Ned, Mary and Rose at Emerson Point Preserve

Taking a little hike through the preserve

Next stop was Tavernier in the Keys to visit Kadars.  Karen poses

We had a great dinner with the Kadars
Rose, Skip and Karen relaxing in the Keys

On the way back north we saw lots of gators in the Everglades

Our last stop was the Tybee Island Inn, a very nice B&B

The Tybee Island Inn is a building part of an old fort garrison with beautiful grounds

This picture is out of sequence.  Our third stop was in Port Charlotte to visit Pat Finlan

Pat fixed a great dinner for us and some of her dear friends in Port Charlotte.


Rose and sister Mary relax and catch up

Tybee Island beach

Coming off of Tybee we stopped at Fort Pulaski.  This sign gives a neat tidbit of Civil War history

The fort was quite impressive and well reconstructed and preserved
