Hello from rather chilly Louisville…and, given what I left in Florida, I’d say very chilly Louisville! Yes, the sun has set on another vacation. And oh, what a vacation it was!!! Manatees, eagles, alligators, and Jeff!!! What more could a person hope to see on vacation?! The only down side was April had some health issues with her mother-in-law and we couldn’t meet up. But that’s okay….as good an excuse as any for me to go back, right?! I’m flat-out exhausted, needless to say. But I do want to thank you all for coming along on the trip with me. I wish you could have been there to hear the osprey or feel the warmth of the sun or smell the sweet beach air. So until next time, let’s all get a good night’s sleep! The photo is one of the many I took of the sunset in Cedar Key.

I'm always up for a road trip! And I've never been to Dollywood, so that would be a cool adventure.

No vacation to Florida is complete without a Jeff sighting! I may not be as ferocious as the alligators, but I have my own ways of causing damage and havoc! haha And you did get to see a Cedar Key sunset after all. Magnificent!!! Glad you made it home safely Karen. It really was great meeting you in person. I wish I could have joined you on a few of your state park visits!

A great trip! We've had two days of nice sun and temps in the 50s, a nice change.

It was very memorable. Amazing how all those incredible state parks have so much beauty and so few people (comparatively speaking).

You just can't stay put anywhere for any length of time, can you?

I enjoyed visiting Florida with you. We like to go back home, but we also regret what we left behind. That has always been my feeling. Beautiful sunset.

Think I’ll stay on the east coast next time. I mostly did panhandle, interior, and west coast this time.

What a lovely sunset. We watched a Key West sunset last night. I would have loved to feel the heat, hear the sounds and seen what you have seen. Maybe some day?

My mobility issues are thankfully temporary. I’m resting comfortably after all that walking and driving, and I’ll be better in a couple of days. Much different when they’re more problematic and long lasting.

@LindaOHio — I’ll be fine. My back always stiffens up on me after the drive home.
