We left for Florida on Jan 30. Our plan was to be in Orlando on Feb 5. Thats when Kristi and Mike (daughter/son in law) , Carol (Mikes mother) , Mackenna ,Ashley & Sammi (our grandkids) were flying in for the week. They were all going to Disney World except for Sammi. Sammi was just 2 and we kept her during the day. On the way we stayed in Lake Charles LA, Biloxi Ms, and Suwahnee River state Park. Near Orlando we stayed at Lake Louisa State Park. It was a great choice as only about 20 minutes from the condo the kids were staying at. After that week we headed to Wesley Chapel (near Tampa Bay) where Susan has a friend that lives there. We stayed at Hillsbough River State Park. It is another really nice florida state park. We did a lot of bike riding and walking along the river while we were there. Plenty of gators to see. We left there and went to Cedar Key Florida. Fell in love with that area. Low key and quaint and not a lot of people this time of year. Plan to go back there next winter to fish kayak and relax. From there we went to Topsail Preserve State Park near Destin . A real resort state park. Great place to ride bikes and go to the beach. We visited Fort Pickens which is about a hour and 30 minutes to the east. It is a place we would like to go back and camp next year also. Campgrounds nice and remote with the beach nearby , great bike riding areas also. When we left there we started home , stayed one night in Slidell La and got home Feb 27. This was a trip we might start making every late Jan and Feb.
