Our trip continues !!!

We are still on our southern track.  We spent the night with the Bruce Klop and family in Tallahassee, Fl.  It was interesting to reminisce with Bruce about the old "Christmases at Grandma K's" house.  The visit was wonderful, never a lack of conservation.  Bruce and Carol have a beautiful home and a wonderful family.  Their children are wonderful to visit with and are becoming young adults rapidly.

From Bruce's we made our way to Panama City, Fl for a little time to our selves and a wonderful dinner.  The restaurant found out that it was our fifth wedding anniversary  and gave us a great desert to share!

On to Jax, we arrived here on Friday evening.   It is really great to spend  time with Angela, Jerry, and Nathan.  They have a beautiful home and a pool!   It would be real easy for me to float in the pool for hours.  On Saturday night, we went out to dinner with them and Kelsie, who had a friend from U-High visiting her.  We took Nathan on a three day venture south of Jax.  We stayed at the Hilton on the beach in Daytona, Fl.  On Tuessday of this week, we spent the day touring the Daytona Race Track and area.  It is really an interesting place and billed as the most outstanding race venue in the world (eat your heart out Indy 500 people).  On  Wednesday, we went to the Kennedy Space Center.  It is an enormous place with tons of interesting things to see from the US days in space.

Now we are back in Jax and thinking of our return to the Land of  Lincoln.  Nathan starts school on Monday so our duty here is complete.  He is a very bright precious little boy and was a joy to be with.  We will get to take him to the school, Chet Creek Elem school on Friday to meet his teacher.  The on Saturday, we will head north.  I have some pics that I will attempt to load, hope you are not too bored.

Ok...Pics will follow in next post!

So glad that you were able to have such a nice side-trip to visit Bruce and family, and to spend that good quality time with Nathan as well. Keep us posted--
