George C. McGough Nature Park at the Largo Narrows
It’s funny how you can pass by something hundreds of times and not know what you are really missing. Our friend, Debbie Burns, asked us to take some photos of the birds of prey she helps handle at a local nature park. She explained how close to Indian Rocks Beach the park was, but we …
Indian Rocks Beach, Florida
We came back to Florida to stay for a few weeks to work and visit with our friends. Our good friends, Hippy and Blonde Laramee invited us to park the bus in their driveway in Indian Rocks Beach. We had our doubts that the bus would even fit, but Hippy reassured us that it would. …
Cedar Key, Florida
We left Alabama and made our way to Florida. We ended up stopping at Cedar Key for the night. When we used to live in St. Petersburg, we had made a couple of day trips to Cedar Key, but they were certainly quick. We like the area and wanted to spend the night and walk …
Christmas Light Display
Wow…St. Pete has a house that could outshine the Griswalds. Our friend Pug Baker told Robert about the house, so we decided to visit it last night.

Today we got to go on a car ride with Mommy and Daddy. We all hopped in the Jeep and were ready to go. Lucy, Oscar and I decided to relax and take a nap because the last time we went on a road trip, we ended up walking about five miles. Today, who knows …
Sunday Drive — Ocala National Forest
Do you like to just get up and drive just to see what you can see? Robert and I do. Sometimes we start driving and we don’t know where we’ll end up. Today we decided that we needed to get out of the hustle and bustle of Pinellas County, so we headed north-east toward Ocala. …

Sunset at Clearwater Beach, FL. Any beach is wonderful at sunset, but sometimes we like to get away and to up to Clearwater for their sunset celebration at Pier 60. We always like to see the arts and crafts and have a leisurely stroll on the beach.
