February 20-28, 2013 - Sarasota, FL - Venice Beach, Plant City - Winery and Strawberries, and Tarpon Springs (Sponge Capital of the World!)

Co-hosting at Palmetto Cove this week is giving me a great opportunity to "catch-up" with the blog.  And the office with a beautiful view of the mountains is a great place to work on the computer!  So, here's more pictures from our trip to Florida last winter...
 
Venice Beach
 











































 
 
Plant City, FL - Keel and Curley Winery
 
 
 


































 
 
Parkesdale Farms - The Best Strawberry Shortcake Ever!!!
 
 
 

 

 












 
Tarpon Springs
(The Sponge Capital of the World)
 
This was our second year visiting Roger's cousin, Darlene and her husband Jacque in Tarpon Springs...yes, it is the "Sponge Capital of the World", and it also has fantastic Greek food and several wonderful parks!  Last year the weather was sunny and beautiful so I took lots of pictures.  This year...periodic rain...so not as many pictures but still lots of fun!
  













































 











































 
I would be remiss if I didn't include a few more pictures (taken with my phone) of the activities we participated in...i.e., pickleball (the guys), karoke, etc.






 




 
We have had such a great time in Florida...so much so that we have reserved the same site at Sun-N-Fun next year...for 3 months!
