We sure had a tough time leaving the Keys…..but made it as far as Boca Raton, to visit old family friends-Stephanie and Milan. They had us and their daughter, Michelle\u00a0over for a delicious home cooked meal-which we enjoyed immensely! And after a fun afternoon sent us on our way with a bag of homemade cookies.<\/p>\n
Next stop was Cape Canaveral, where we stayed for two nights. We spent 8 1\/2 hours at the Kennedy Space Center. What a fascinating place-I sure wish we had taken our kids there when they were little. Tyler would have loved it! On our second night there we ate in a Greek restaurant, which we have missed so much these past weeks. We shared a combo dinner called a Mezedakia-It had lamb chops, gyro and pita, stuffed grape leaves, spanakopita, tzaziki and a village salad, and had a nice bottle of Greek wine. Yum! There were only 3 tables taken in this place, while the McDonald’s across the street was packed. Go figure. Come on people, try new things, it’s good for you!<\/p>\n
Rick picked our next stop. Ponte Vedra, between St. Augustine and Jacksonville. We found a beautiful resort called Sawgrass Golf Resort and Spa, home of The Players Championship. What a place! It’s just a shame that they were booked for the 4th, so we only got to\u00a0book 3 nights here. It’s hard to believe that today is exactly 3 weeks on the road from our second take-off. Time really does fly!\u00a0We plan to continue north toward Savannah and hope for a last minute place there on the historic Riverfront where the big celebration is-so far it’s not looking so good……but you never know!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
