We never advertise that we are traveling as we don’t want to invite people to break into our place while we are gone.  But we departed Fisherville, KY on 2/1/2020 and headed for Florida.  We made a stop in Macon, GA the first night then continued to Ocala, FL. to visit and stay with friends for a couple days.  Then down to Florida City and out to Key West for a day.  Back to Florida City and did some sight seeing around that area and then started our trip north.  We stopped in Titusville, FL for two nights so we could visit the Kennedy Space Flight center.  Then continued home.  We got back approximately 5PM on Saturday 02/15.

That’s all I’m going to say for now.  I have a blog entry to do on our trip to Texas then I’ll do one on our trip to Florida.  So that’s it for now.  Stay tuned for more blogs with pictures.
