As many of you know, I have added a 10 day holiday to the calendar in late January tied to Groundhog Day. This year we travelled to Florida. Watch for new posts, slide shows and photos as I get everything compiled. In the meantime here is a quick synopsis:<\/p>\n
1. Our trip on day one to Clarksburg WV. was uneventful, we left at 6am the next day.<\/p>\n
2. We were caught in the mega storm that took out most of the U.S. North East; we actually travelled in the storm for a couple of hours exiting into Virginia. Then we diverted around the Blue Ridge Mountains and west of the trouble to arrive in the Orlando area some 7 hours later than expected.<\/p>\n
3. We were in Spruce Creek for the annual bonfire including a 25 plane precision fly by.<\/p>\n
4. We toured in Daytona Beach and hiked at Flagler Beach.<\/p>\n
5. Our original plan was to fly to Hallendale and Tampa; Hallendale was cancelled due to schedule conflict and we ended up driving to Tampa to visit friends who were wintering in the area.<\/p>\n
6. We flew CGWBO to check out its systems to Titusville (Space Coast Regional Airport), then flew along the Space Shuttle runway (very thrilling)<\/p>\n
7. We flew to Key West and spent the day, I have been trying to get there for years. Fun flight and day.<\/p>\n
8. On leaving Florida, we drove directly to Unionville PA., where we stayed in a Hilton Garden Inn that was opened 3 days earlier.<\/p>\n
9. On February 2, we drove to Punxsutawney, PA. to see Punxsutawney Phil predict an early Spring.<\/p>\n
Watch for blog entries on all this in the coming days as I compile all the photos and other data.<\/p>\n
Happy Groundhog Day to all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
