That time has come. The three months in Florida are over. We went to the beach yesterday to get a last taste of sunshine and salt water.
It was a busy day at the beach - the end of spring break week for all the local schools. Louise had to get her feet in the water again, and actually got quite wet!
We have been packing and cleaning for several days to leave the condo in pristine condition.
Finally this morning we put the last of it in the car. Notice Gary's basil plant that he is hoping to get home alive. He has been growing it for a couple of months.
It has been a good winter and we have enjoyed the condo and our time in Florida this year. We have no commitment yet for next winter, so that is something we will have to work on after we get home.
It is with some sense of dread that we face the remains of the horrible winter at home. As a result we are going to take our time getting home. So many people have advised us not to hurry back! Usually we do it in three or four days, but we plan to spend more time at it this time.
Our ride through Florida was uneventful. Lots of other snowbirds were on the road today. This bridge on the 295 route around Jacksonville always stands out as an amazing sight.
This afternoon we crossed the border into Georgia where we plan to stay for a day or two. We are in Savannah and hope to tour the old historic city tomorrow. We may spend a second night here. The temperature is in the 70s and the sun is shining. We are still in short sleeves with no jackets. One more day of summer weather!
Louise has finished sweater #4 - this one for Bridget. She has another one almost done for Emily. It's been a good knitting winter!
