Hi Everyone,
I made it to Florida safely. Rested up for a few days waiting for the shuttle launch- the launch ended up getting canceled until January.
I decided to find some things to do in the central and upper part of Florida. I was going to be staying with my friend John in Summerfield for about 2 1/2 weeks.
Our first trip was to the Crystal River area. We were looking for an area to see manatee's, but we weren't very successful finding them. LOL
But we did find quite a few other interesting things to see. Our 1st stop was a whoops stop....I thought I had been told that the power plant area was the place to see manatee's...so we headed that way. Well we got onto the road to the power plant and realized it wasn't what we wanted but by that time we were unable to turn around....so we ended up having to go thru security. LOL So now I'm not only on the radar in Mexico & Canada...but here in the States!! LOL After being released from the security station we headed out on our search again. We ended up at the Crystal River Archaeological State Park. This park was small and quaint. It had a lot of information and artifacts from early Native Americans that lived in the area.
After walking around for awhile...we moved on down the road. We ended up at the Crystal River Beach. This is a small, clean almost private type beach. There was a boardwalk and a jetty to enjoy. There were tons of birds resting on the beach...it was great to be able to get that close to them. We finished off the day with dinner at the Golden Corral.
It was a great day and very relaxing.
Ok off to get my other entries ready...Take care folks....and I'll be back in touch soon.
Love Donna
