June 2013 - Travels In Florida and Aruba

The month of June was our time to relax and wait for our overseas trip to Aruba.
We stayed at Paradise Oaks Golf and Resorts in Bushnell, Florida.  During the summer they have monthly special rates of $199 a month.  This was a beautiful park and this is where we picked up our hitchhikers, the green frogs.  So small but oh  so loud.
Meanwhile we toured the area and 1st of all went to the Villages near us.  Lots of them and tons of retirees.  Not ready for this lifestyle.
We toured Homosassa Springs Ellie Schiller Wildlife state park, What a great place to go and see all the manatees.  Recommend this place to all you travelers out there.
We also met up with Miguel and Caroline Rosario, whom we know through family in Colorado.  They took us to lunch and we had a great time with friends. 
Our trip to Aruba was planned on June 15th thru the 22nd, so we did a lot of bike riding and swimming at the resort.  The temperature was in the 90's and it was so humid.  We did a lot of swimming.
Aruba came and went.  The Resort was huge and we had 3 beds 2 kitchens and 2 bathrooms.  We could have taken the family.  Aruba was beautiful and we did lots of touring.  Renting a car and going around the island was an adventure.
At the end of June we then left to Hardeeville, SC and stayed there to tour the area in Savannah, Georgia. We took the Oblethorpe Trolly tour through Savannah.  We were able to see so much of the history.  It took us 2 days to see the area.  Tybee Island was beautiful and we loved the lighthouses.  So much we saw.
We then left the area and met up with more Colorado friends in St. George, S.C. The Cox family.  I went to school with Louise in Pueble County H.S.  Had not seen her over 50 years.  We met her husband, Steve and their granddaughter, Taneal.  It was great visiting and catching up.  We left and then headed to Washington D.C. Area.
No pictures will be posted on this blog as they are in a flash drive that we have packed and I will post them later.
