At Home in Wildwood, FL

We're back in Wildwood, FL, for the winter.  We left Wisconsin on October 16th.  Our trip down took us through Iowa to see our daughter, then on to Memphis, New Orleans and Panama City Beach to see more family.  We saw Elvis's Graceland in Memphis. 

We had planned to spend some time in New Orleans to see the sights, but timing was bad...it was a weekend and there were several big events and conventions in New Orleans and the Saints football team was playing at home, so getting a reasonably priced hotel that accepts pets was impossible.  We'll have to try to stop there another time on a future trip down.  I was really bummed because I was so looking forward to seeing New Orleans again!

We did stay a couple nights in Panama City Beach and were able to spend some time visiting with stepkids Pam and Russ and Cindy, who was visiting her sister and brother-in-law in PC Beach.  We had a great time with them!!

We arrived in Wildwood on October 22nd.  It was great to get back and see our friends here again.  Our house was in great shape...no problems over the summer.  Gary and Carol, our wonderful Florida friends, had everything ready for us, with the fridge and other appliances plugged in and the A/C going to cool down the place.

We brought down our zebra rug and put it in our living room...gives it a new look!
