Florida and Carolina

Lynn and I had a great vacation traveling to Florida and South Carolina this week.

On Friday, February 12th, we flew to Winter Haven to visit her parents. The weather was very nice in the low 70’s. It was a great visit

  • Golf – Ray and I played a good round.
  • Old Harry’s – We went to dinner at a local restaurant that was very good. The line to get a table was forever but the food great.
  • Church – We all went to church together. It was a moving service.
  • Computer – Of course, I got to spend a lot of time fixing computers while I was there. They needed a little new Thermal Compound and it’s fixed.

After a couple days near orlando, we drove down to Estero to see my parents. The weather was warm but very cloudy.

  • Oncologist – The highlight of the trip was going to see Dad’s cancer doc. That was extremely informative. I have a much better appreciation for what he’s going through.
  • Carin – We had dinner with Carin and Brian at Mom’s house. We had lots of good laughs and good food.
  • Computer – Of course, I got to spend a lot of time fixing computers while I was there.

Our last stop was a flight to Charleston, South Carolina to visit Cliff and Nancy Hern’s Condo one Isle of Palms. It’s a very new facility (Ship Watch) with great views of the ocean.

  • Fort Sumter – We took a tour of Fort Sumter for the civil war times.
  • Carriage – After the tour, we had a small tour of the city by horse drawn carriage.
  • Golf – Cliff and I played golf on Harbor Course, the narrowest golf course I’ve ever played. I lost more balls there than I’ve ever lost before.
  • Game – We played two games
    1. Drinking – It’s primaries time and the candidates are in SC. So each of us got a nominee. When that candidates commercial came on TV, everyone else had to drink. You’d be shocked how well we know the commercials now. And, there are a lot of commercials.
    2. Farkle – Nancy introduced us to a new dice game. It was lots of fun for any number of people. Very cool.
  • Bike rides – On our last day, we took a nice 10 mile bike ride around Isle of Palms. The weather was great for February.

It was a great week.

Oh, I went running on the beach too. That was very nice.
