This morning at 4AM, neighbor Lois took us to the Sanford airport for a flight to Bangor, Me. We took Allegient airlines and were very pleased with the flight. They have very inexpensive flights but charge for every little thing.
Trip Log
A sad day as the girls are heading home on a 2:15 flight out of Orlando. It was an awesome visit but I am sure they are anxious to get home in time for school to start the day after Labor Day. They landed in Philly at 4:30 and are now home safe and sound.
The girls went back to the archery range and were able to shoot for quite a while since they have already had the necessary training.
Saturday we took the girls to Abbate's in a driving rain. They spent the night instead of going to Scooter with us but it worked out because it was rained out and they had a good time with friends. We picked them up on Sunday afternoon and relaxed the rest of the day.
Yesterday, Annika went to a rec center with Alesa and learned how to play pool. Then, while Alesa was at Tai-chi the girls and I swam at the pool. The ladies then went to the movies and saw 'The Fantastic 4'.
After the girls ate a late breakfast we headed up to the archery range for a class and some shooting. It was something the girls wanted to do and they did really well. We then stocked up on groceries and headed for a Chinese buffet for dinner.
Elyse and Annika flew in from Philadelphia last night for a week long visit. They were supposed to arrive at 6:15 but didn't get in until 9. We spent much of the day shopping in Orlando then got caught in horrible traffic as it started to rain.
Yesterday, we drove down to St, Pete's and stopped off at Pat and Tracy Artise's business, Southland Tavern Bar and Grill. We had a nice visit with Pat then headed across the Sunshine Skyway bridge to Ruskin, Florida on the east side of the bay, just off I-75.
We have been busy recovering from our trip, catching up with friends, golfing, platform tennis, dragon boating, bowling and shopping. Craig and Janet came up yesterday so we could wear them out at pickleball, platform tennis, swimming and celebrating his birthday (Wednesday)(and eating).
We arrived back home just before midnight last night after an uneventful trip. There was some heavy traffic but our phone navigation (Waze) successfully routed us around it.
