Day 2 on the road and we made it as far as Hershey, PA. It is still hot and sunny - hopefully it will be in Ottawa as well but somehow I have a feeling this will be our last day to wear shorts for a while.
It's been a frustrating journey- hundreds of factory outlets and not one square inch of room left in the car - so no shopping for us. Oh well, great excuse to come back this way again.
See y'all soon.

Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge
On the offchance that there was some wildlife left in Florida we hadn't check out yet we headed off to the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge. There were not a lot of birds there today but we figured that was good news- they are on there way back north because the weather is getting better and we will be following them on Sunday.
We were luck enough to catch a couple of rare sightings - an American Bald Eagle (3rd picture) and a manatee (last picture).
So, this will be our last Blog entry from Florida. Thanks for following along on our adventure and for all your comments and e-mails.
We will try to keep in touch on our trip home.
Pass the Ace
One last night of playing cards with "The Gang". And oh yeah, that big pile of money on the table is my winnings- now that's a great send-off!Wednesday, March 28, 2007
Tonight we got boar(ed)
Tonight was The Great Outdoors annual wild boar BBQ, a very popular event. We could smell the meat cooking in the smoker all day long and by the end of the day the meat was tender and the three cooks were pickled! All you could eat, including drinks and dessert was a great deal for 10 bucks.
Last few lazy days
Sadly, the last few days of this vacation - things are getting pretty lazy around here.

Mating season
All our loyal Blog readers (and I know you're out there) may recall me showing you a roadsign near our house about not feeding the aligators. Well, look what we saw when we passed by today. We are told it is now mating season so they are on the prowl everywhere.
