Florida – September, 2002

Immediately after returning from Virgin Gorda, we decided to take a long drive down the East coast of Florida. First we met up with Jim's mom and sister at a beach in the panhandle.

Then we met up with Ginny & Troy at a bar.

We went back to Jim's old alma mater Florida Insitute of Technology, better known now as Florida Tech.

We ended up that night in Fort Lauderdale

The next day we picked up Bryan at the airport and went to Coral Castle.

It was a fascinating place, filled with a mystery of all kinds of rock carvings, carved by a man named Edward Leedskalnin

Then it was on down to the Keys.....

Where the beach chairs are just waiting for you. It is very laid back down in the Keys!!

We stopped by and stayed a week at our friends Mary and Joe's house in Summerland Key.

They showed us a fantastic time, which included a ride on their boat.

James tried scuba diving.

Bryan tried machete chopping a coconut.

And miraculously, they both lived!!

We ended our visit with our friends, out on the town in Key West.
