Florida is History






We are now camping in Kim's sister Juli's driveway outside of Savannah, Georgia. We have the best internet connection we have ever had and the satellite dish was tuned in as soon as I raised it, so we are in good tech shape here.

We had a quick, enjoyable visit with Doctors Chris and Sarah, Kim's cousin and his wife that live in Jacksonville, Florida. Their house is full of fun stuff like a pool table and a Nintendo Wii and a swimming pool and bass pond in the backyard. Chris made us some most excellent steaks and then showed us how to play the Wii. Sarah was on call all night waiting for expectant mothers to burst, but she joined us the next day for brunch. We went to a cool place on the river that was constructed of funky old cypress and cedar wood and decoracted with dead animals for brunch. There were plenty of dead animals for brunch too. You could get anything from oysters to ostrich and buffalo to alligator. They bought brunch too, now I feel guilty.

We headed north to Cocoa Beach to hook up with Juli and her clan. We spent the following day at the NASA visitors center and got hooked on rockets, so much so that I had to go out and buy a model rocket. We are planning the launch for this evening and already there is a conflict. I promised Sophie that she could hit the launch button and Chloe is protesting. If we can't come to terms the whole mission might have to be scrapped until Mission Control grows up!

We should be able to get some nice pics of Savannah in the next couple of days and of course we will share. The azaleas are in full glory right now.

Hopefully I will talk to you soon if all goes well with the rocket launch.


Donna... you are absolutely correct, that picture is so crappy it doesn't even look like us. I downloaded the wrong picture. Ooops! Give the M.E. a big squeeze and kiss for me. Don't squeeze her too hard or a big stream of chocalate, jelly beans and peeps might come spewing out.


Love, James

Well, finaly a fish picture. Not too bad. Soon the white bass will be running here the red buds are blooming Jim. I laughed out loud on your comment about your little mission control crew. You might have to do two launches.
Catch a bigger fish Jim.

Hope the launch went well. I'm jealous of the sister time in Savannah. I guess now I know how Juli feels most of the time when Kim is actually holding down a job and staying in one place. Kim, it looks like you enjoyed Florida to its fullest--you are very tan! Once again, I am jealous. Be safe and keep catching those fish, James.
Love you!!
