Friday, March 5
I got up at 6:30 from a weird dream about planning to
take my mom to Joann to get Christmas present craft kits for Bob’s kids because
she wanted to get out of the house away from Ed’s mom who was also visiting.
Following on a weird dream about DJ and a phone upgrade guy
I’m beginning to wonder about my brain.
The one thing that has threatened to ruin this trip (but didn't!) Is that damn
television. It’s loud and it’s constant. Ed doesn't even suggest that he might
use headphones. I guess I'm going to have to ask.
Short drive home. Only three hours.
All said, it was a great trip. Although the things I thought were going to be
so cool (aquarium & space center) weren't, and the things that I'd taken
for granted (wildlife refuge & boardwalk) were awesome. But it evened out
pretty well.
Molly and I had some really nice walks. I ate way too much candy. The meals
were mostly not great with one huge exception—the oatmeal. The spinach and
precooked veg for breakfast was good but the oatmeal was great. I had too many
fish days. Maybe when Ed fixes me fish I need to give half to Molly instead of saving
half and eating it another day. We MUST find a better source for red snapper.
Lesson learned:
1. State Parks are always worth the aggravation. They may be hard to find and hard to get into sometimes--although usually not--and they don’t often have FHU--although two of them did--but they usually have trails and quiet and scenic vistas. I love them.
2. When planning a walking visit to a city, make sure you have a paper copy of an enlarged map in hand, so you don’t get lost and waste a lot of time going by google maps routes.
3. Next time in Florida, check out camping at Manatee Springs SP.
4. When you go on a morning bird watching trip and expect to see stuff, put in contact lenses first.
5. More oatmeal!
