Next stop - Florida! |
We went to Jacksonville, Florida where Ann's cousins live.
Here is Ping with our family. Mary was in the hospital.
We are saying prayers. Mary and Ping grew up in Richmond,
Virginia with Helen (my godmother), Mac, Charles, and
Ann's Mom. They have been neighbors in Jacksonville for over 30
years. My grandmother lived here too with Mary for over 15 years.
It was fun to visit, share a meal, and get caught up. |

Here is our campground in Florida. It was called
Hanna Park at Atlantic Beach nearby. It was huge! They
were lots of activities - a lake with paddleboats and small boats.
It was a jungle where we were - thick vegetation with lots of humidity.
The beach is only 1/3 mile walk from the campground. The park
had a 1 1/2 mile stretch of beach. |
There was dark skies and rain and then sun. It is so
warm and muggy that it felt good to go in the warm Atlantic Ocean - rain or
shine. The beaches were wide. |

While some of us were on the beach, Phil and Michelle ran
this hiking trail for 50 minutes. It was overgrown, jungle like and
had hills. They got their workout for the day! |
These last three pictures just give you a snapshot of our
day at the beach. Below is Will, Madeline and Colleen catching waves.
The last picture in the corner is the beach with the city of Jacksonvlle off
in the distance. |
