June 28th

Today we left Florida. It's hard to believe that we left 22 days ago, rode for 15 days, and now we left. We will have a lot to catch up on when we get back home! 

Getting water from the laundromat this morning

Ladina made delicious French toast and smoothies for breakfast. Kind of a last Hurrah. 

Packing up

Mother Hen and her brood of six (Papa Dave, Grandma Rose, Emily, David, Jenna, and Ellie) pulled out of 1580 Kaufman Ave. around 9 o'clock this morning. The other three (Darrell, Ladina, and Janie) stayed to do some final work. (And go to the beach) When they left at 5PM, they decided to drive straight through. They will actually arrive home before the RV, if all goes as planned. 

The six made a long stop at the Tampa Zoo. The pictures summarize the neat time we had there. A little too hot, though.

Emily is sad because she got kicked off her manatee because the buckle was too small. What merry-go-round makes the riders wear buckles?!?

The children In the RV have been listening to the Green Ring Conspiracy, an Adventures in Odyssey album. They are almost halfway through it. The girls in the camper listened to it on the way down too. 

Had dinner at a Subway. 

Arrived at the KOA Kampground in Starke mid-evening. This was one of the campgrounds we stayed at on the way down too. Good memories, good memories...

The other three stopped by at the Kampground! Hey! Long time no see? 

Kids went swimming. That should not surprise you. 

Prayers for traveling mercies are appreciated! 

We are coming home.
