Florida Vacation



We took a "plan as you go" vacation over the 4th of July to Dunedin, Fl. - just went to the beach, cruised around, went to one restaurant, and drove over to Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral for one day. We stayed in a remodeled double wide coach (we used to call them trailers) at a retirement community. It felt good to have no schedule to stick to:) Here are a few pics - we didn't take many since I don't like to take the camera to the sandy beach!


We saw the Carnival Legend leave from Tampa Bay.


We had dinner with Shirley at the Columbia Restaurant - great food and......


A flamenco dancer show:) They were very energetic and fun to watch!

On July 4th we went to the Tampa Museum of Science & Industry, expecting it to be really cool like Chicago's. It was disappointing, but had a few good exhibits.


I am on a bicycle pedaling on a wire suspended above the first floor. I got nervous and didn't pedal very far before returning!


Rob is feeling the wind force of a hurricane. There was a better one when we entered the museum where we both went in to feel the hurricane force winds.



This is the ship we viewed fireworks from on the night of July 4th. We were only a few hundred yards from where they shot them off in Tampa Bay.

We had some rain from time to time, but only one full day when it poured!


We had a great view for the fireworks near the front of the ship. We only had to lift our eyes up to see them instead of craning your neck for 15 minutes!

Well, the ocean was warm, the swimming pool was great, and we got a needed rest from the hectic everyday work week.
Back to reality now:)
