Florida to St. Louis, MO

We arrived back in Florida March 21 and visited with friends at our RV Park, Deercreek, until the 23 when we went back to Oliver’s house in North Port, FL, to pick up our RV which he repaired making it better than new! His house is near completion – YEAH!!! When you go to the photos from here, there are several photos of his house.

We were only at Olly’s house a few days then we returned to Deercreek so Bobby and I could work a little at Disney. Spring is a beautiful time to be in Florida, it’s warm during the day yet cool at night and everything is in bloom (but it always is!). Disney had its Flower Power Concert series that ties in with their Flower & Garden Show at Epcot. We just love these concert series because we can see groups from our generation for free! They have all developed a wonderful sense of humor about getting older! We were able to see Paul Revere and the Raiders, The Turtles, Herman’s Hermits and The Ventures.

The end of April Bobby bought a 2007 R1200RT Silver BMW. This has been his dream bike ever since it came out. It is more of a touring bike so it is extremely comfortable, has lots of carrying capacity and is 40 lbs. lighter than his other bike. Bobby’s brother Harry and his wife Theresa visited with us April 26 on their way to Alaska on their motorcycle. While they were there, we went to Bike Fest in Leesburg, FL. As with any bike event, you have more than your share of “interesting” people.

May 5 our “nephew”, Eric Moore graduated with an Engineering Degree from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona. The day before we took his parents and grandparents to Animal Kingdom for the day and feasted at Cape May buffet for dinner. Tuesday we got up early and drove to Daytona for his graduation, returned to Deercreek for the RV and headed west at 5 pm.

Wednesday evening we arrived at our friends Harry and Barbara Breece in Smyrna, TN. Friday and Saturday we took the motorcycle to Crossville to visit with Bob & LuAnn who went on the cruise with us. Sunday and Monday were spent with the Breece’s. Today we left at the ungodly hour of 5 am so we could miss Nashville’s rush hour. We drove all day and arrive in St. Louis at 4:45 pm.
