TUESDAY JANUARY 5

After not even a week, we have to say goodbye to our daughter Krista as she must return to Minnesota today. We have sooooo enjoyed having her spend time with us. My sister, Jen, drove down from Tampa this morning and will take Krista to the airport. We’ll get to spend some time with Jennie too, as she will stay a couple of days with us.

I know I’m sounding like a broken record, but it’s cold and windy today………..again. We decided that no matter what, we were in Florida and we were going to go walk on the beach. So we bundled up and went. It was a short walk.

Ft. Meyers Beach is a hot spot for spring breakers. It is rumored that Ponce de Leon sailed and explored this area looking for the fountain of youth. It has also been the hang out of many pirates over the years. The most notorious are pictured below.
