Leaving Lake Griffin

Today we load up Abram and Sarai and head to Falling Waters State Park in the panhandle of Florida. We had a GREAT time yesterday; we hiked about a half mile, canoed two miles and then drove to Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park to visit the Wildlife Trail. It was beautiful, however, a bit sad. I really don't like seeing animals caged. The saddest part was the Hippo...it was all alone in a very small pool area. Then there was the Florida Panther, Black Bear (which we didn't see) and Bobcat, all of which were in confined areas. The park itself is very pretty, but I don't think we will be going back anytime soon.

Skies were threatening by the time we got home, but we both wanted to cook steak over the fire pit, so we made haste to get the fire going and we were able to cook us up some mighty tasty steaks before the rain hit. Literally, as we were cleaning up, the rain fell...and it fell all night long. It was lovely sleeping weather!

Up very early this morning, but feeling fit from a good night's sleep. We did watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" last night for our nightly movie. We don't have TV yet (getting Satellite on Saturday), so we pick movies each night to watch. Tuesday night, however, we did watch something totally different...we watch Looney Toons Cartoons! I just love Bugs Bunny! We watched over an hour of classic Daffy Duck, Bugs and all of the other wonderful characters. It was so much fun.

Lots to do this morning to get ready for our next road trip, so signing off for now! Praying everyone has a very blessed and wonderful day!
