Family in Florida

The
Christmas
gift
Florida!

We
leave
cold
Brixton
Lane....

Footprints
in
the
snow....

A
few
short
plane
hours....

and
we're
on
the
beach...

Footprints
in
the sand!

My first
stop...

Naples
Cyclery!

Rent
a
beautiful
bike...

for
a
week
of
biking...

and
wildlife
photography.

Suddenly
I
stop....

Wait
a
minute!

The
shells....

The
birds...

The
sunsets....


















Even
the
bike....

will
all be here
a year
from
now.

The kids?

Not
so
much
so.

Off
to Egypt

to Starbucks

to Habitat
for
Humanity....









like
little
birds

teetering
on the
edge
of the
nest...

Oh, Mom,
that
whole
bird thing
is so
lame!

But 

KC,

think

for

a

minute...

Flight...

is 

the

symbol...

of
my
life!

First

across

America...

Then
The
Flight
Continues....

Now
it's
your
turn!

OK,
enough
metaphor...

I toss
away
the
fancy
bike

(metaphorically)

Hop
on
a
cruiser
bike...

and
join
the
kids.

We
cruise
together...

to
hot
dogs.

We
boat-
cruise...

watching
dolphins...

on our
way
to
lunch....

New
Years
Eve...

we
explore
a
deserted
beach...

Dinners...

Breakfasts....

Frisbees....

and
shopping...

We
have a
wonderful
family
vacation...

in
Florida...

until
the
Flight
home....

and
the
future
flights....

away.
