Joanna and I just returned from a very relaxing and refreshing three week vacation to Florida, along with our other daughter, Cherish Oberg who lives in Ely,MN. The first leg of our stay was a condo at New Smyrna Beach, where my sister, Nicki joined us for the week. Nicki and I used to surf there in our teen years, so it has always been a memorable place to go back to. We still try to get up and ride smaller waves on our surfboards. We call ourselves the surfing Grandmas.
From surfing to sunbathing to boogey boarding to beach walks to tennis to shopping, we girls had the time of our lives. The weather couldn't have been more perfect with 75-85 degree sun shining days every day. Cherish and Joanna spent a lot of time riding the waves on their boogey boards. I thought they were going to get water logged they stayed out there so long. On several occasions, we had the treat of watching porpoises catching waves nearby us, jumping high in the air and splashing about. They put on quite a show.
After our week at the beach, we moved inland to stay at Nicki's house which is located in a peaceful neighborhood of Cassleberry, Florida on a small, placid lake. We had several nice visits with her son, Scott and wife Genny and of course little three year old Sydney. Another exciting adventure was our visit to Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios at Disneyworld. The African Safari was my favorite. Being up close to animals you would see in the wilds of Africa was a rare treat.
We also had a lively visit with my brother Ron, whom Cherish and Joanna hadn't seen in quite a few years. And on the way home, we visited with John's brother, the cousins and John's mother who all live at Timber Wolf Point Resort in Buyck,MN.
All in all we would say it was a terrific vacation and one which we will always remember. Now it's on the fast track as we prepare for opening fishing and welcoming all our wonderful guests back to camp.
