Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island and Ormond Beach

Where on earth did this week go?  It seemed to just fly by, what with a tour of the Kennedy Space Center, a little bird watching at Merritt Island (saw my first painted buntings!), a fabulous Cuban dinner, and a two-day retreat at Ormond Beach (even saw a dolphin swimming at sunset one evening).

The week was made all the more special by spending several days of it with two other Roadtrekking gals, both of whom I had met in Florida this year.  Jackie lives in Sarasota and drove over for most of the week, and Peggy lives in Daytona and semi-hosted our little retreat at Ormond Beach.

And now it's time to head north toward Annapolis.  It's been a great winter, and while I look forward to being home again, I am also looking forward to spending next winter in my sweet little place in Sarasota.

Pics show a few of this week's adventures.
