We had a great trip and a wonderful time with the Waanders siblings (and younger relatives) in Florida. Our drive down went well. We did it in two days, with an overnight stop in Dalton, Georgia. We arrived at Diekemas in Sarasota in time for dinner on the second day. We spent the first few days at Diekemas, then moved over to Bill and Pat's in Venice for a few days, and then back to Diekemas for the last couple days. In addition to the Diekemas and the Waanders, the Brassers were also in Florida for the whole month of March. They were in a condo in Englewood. These three cities are all within about an hour or less of each other, so there was a fair amount of "gathering together" for meals and other activities. There also were some visits from the younger generation: Jane was there when we got there, but left a couple days later. Lynda came the day after we did, and she went home the same day we did. Dan and Scott came the second week-end that we were there and so did Karen.
I'm just going to post a bunch of pictures to show some of the things we saw and did.
This was taken during the short time that both Jane and Lynda were there. We met for breakfast on Saturday morning and then all came over to Tony and Jeane's place, except for Bill and Dad who went to a baseball game. Jane left for home that afternoon.
On Sunday Betsy drove up from Fort Myers and we all had pizza at Bill and Pat's. The ladies were sitting out in the lanai. That would be Lynda, Jeane, JoAnne, Betsy and Pat. (Sorry---kind of dark, so you can hardly see Lynda.)
And the men were inside watching basketball. It was March, after all.
Well, I just lost all the pictures I was trying to put on here, and I'm having trouble getting them back. So I am going to post just this part for now so that I don't lose this, too. Hopefully there will be more to follow.
