Feeling guilty (a little) about missing all the snow back home!!

This is the National Seashore at Cape Kennedy in Titusville, Florida on January 29th, 2011.

We attended a Swingtime Concert on January 27th in Melbourne Florida.....

Out to dinner for Alice's birthday

It was Alice's birthday and we went to dinner to celebrate with three other couples: Ken and Sandy Wood, Mike and Pat Breen and Ron and Bev Hanson. The Wood's and Breen's are here in Titusville with us at Manatee Hammock, and the Hanson's are staying in a condo unit in Titusville. Our original plan was to go to Rusty's on Merritt Island, but a tanker truck blew up on the causeway scuttling that idea....we ended up Portofino's in Titusville and had a great meal there.

Not a bad place to spend the winter :).....

Click on photo for an enlargement.  To the right, across the Indian River which is part of the Inter-coastal Waterway, is the NASA launch site for the Shuttles.  The next, and probably last, shuttle launch will be in February 2011. This photo was taken on January 4th at Manattee Hammock in Titusville we're we are wintering in our camper.

We arrived in Titusville Fl on New Years Day....

We had a very nice run down the East coast with perfect weather and no traffic issues.  The first night we stopped in Hagerstown Maryland, the 2nd night at Exit 119 on I-95 in North Carolina, and arrived here on New Years mid-afternoon.  The new rig is wonderful to drive and we feel blessed to have her:).  Kinkey is loving it down here....he's walking us a lot, doing his fair share of squirrel chasing and learning to love the life of a Southern King Charles Spaniel.  In the next week or so we'll be joined by two other families from our Seaport Sams Camping Club, and another family will be down in February hopefully in time for the last Shuttle launch.
