A few days in Miami Beach at a condo with the kids was such a treat. We got a chance to babysit giving the ladies a chance to wine and dine without youngens and loved every moment. Took all 3 gc's to south beach for Anthony's pizza. Then for dessert near home and got a pix from Jay Tray sitting by a pool sipping and an alcoholic beverage of their choice that evening. They are off to Erika and Kip and the boys we back to our home on wheels only 10 min to Erika. Lunch and dinner with the young Hess True families and with Carol... Hope she has more good days than bad. Really enjoying our stay in south Florida. Had a great time with the kids visit from Boston in Florida. Great weather great company and miss the kids already and they're only going two days. Two great people in my niece Erika and my nephew Alex and their families. Really enjoyed my time with them hope we can spend some more time before we leave for the north east. Weather has been good getting a little cool but I won't rub it in since most of the people north of us have not reached the freezing point or above. Sitting now near South Florida. A couple of day trips into the keys to see if we want to bring the coach down there and spend some time. Feb 21st spent the day in Key Largo and Islamorada with typical humidity in the 70's. Long drive to the Keys especially Key West but we are now on the Duval Street and it is a very nice place. Busy with lots of people and typical tourist shops. No shortage of places to eat. Temperature right at 80°. Great day in Key West headed home and planning a Wednesday departure to Lake Worth as a base to visit some more.

February 6th not much to report been at Alliance Coach getting a bunch of stuff taken care of again getting estimates on redesigning some of the inside to make it more comfortable for everyday living finding out how good some of the local restaurants are and meeting up with Kenny and Vicky our friends from Deer Park from 1975. Had a wonderful few days with Kenny and Vicki in Wildwood Florida and now headed to self florida to setup and greet the kids coming in on tuesday. Checked into Markham Park in Sunrise Florida. Really nice spot will be here for a couple of weeks Jamie and kids coming in on Tuesday today is Sunday. Met up with Alex and Jen and their children had a wonderful dinner and am now back at the park. I Met Emma for the second time and this is the first time I met Hannah. They are both very cute and very loving Jen and Alex have done a great job. Looking forward to seeing them again before we leave. Met with Erika for lunch and she is wonderful really miss seeing her more often saw Kip for a little while he was working and a hug from Jared. Hope to see them before we leave South Florida. Picked up Jayme and family from the airport yesterday. We are staying in North Miami at a place Jayme rented with 2 bedrooms and a living room. Had a wonderful Italian meal on the way home from the airport and we all crashed early today they are soaking up the Sun at the pool because they haven't seen the big red thing in the sky for quite a while. Tracy needs to bake her sore arms and back and shoulders from all of the shoveling up north. It is wonderful seeing them holding them squeezing them hugging them, I can never get enough of it.
