Texas and home to Florida



Texas to Florida


We drove all 881 miles on I-10. 


We toured here and stayed a couple of extra days
 to avoid severe storms on our route. 



Flower bouquet from the Hill Country.


Visiting downtown San Antonio and the Alamo.


On Alamo Plaza


At the front entrance of the church.

The Riverwalk near Alamo Plaza.


All good walks deserve an ice cream.

Four Missions and we toured them all.

Too much history to remember.


All of the history is interesting, but slavery and disease
 overshadowed all of the good. 




The Mission church here was never completed so the
 granary was re-modeled as the place of worship.




A morning River walk in the King William historic district.

The best reason to stop in San Antonio!
Luis, Maya, Niescja, and Sebastian


Great visit, but I'm sure the kids had a hard time
 getting to sleep that evening, sorry!


A lot of I-10 driving and riding to:
Florida



A welcome back to Florida in Pensacola Beach.



Enjoyed the fly over so much, forgot to take 
early picture! of the Blue Angels.


In Tallahassee, lunch with friends,
Mary Tyler and Susan Anderson.

Our son's Tallahassee home just 
before deck construction begins.


During

Main structure completed!
  Rails and stairs next week.


A short trip to Thomasville, GA to see the largest
 Live Oak east of the Mississippi.

Nice day for a shady, tree hugging walk.

Our picture from the "tree cam"


A short drive south where we enjoyed 
a grouper sandwich and raw oysters!
  It is near the confluence of the
Saint Marks and Wakulla Rivers.

Another day

in paradise. 

Back in Ocala planning and practicing for our summer outing.
