Boy, did we let time get away from us! We spent all of April at Patrick AFB near Melbourne, FL. We had a wonderful view of the Banana River with many sightings of dolphins, ospreys, Great Egrets, Snowy Egrets, and Great Blue Herons. Not to mention, a front row seat to many beautiful sunsets.

While the view was great, the location on the base was very noisy. We decided we could never spend a winter at Patrick’s FamCamp. Our Key West relaxed attitude was becoming a little frazzled. Aircraft noise from the flight line, early morning gun fire from the firing range which is right in the campground, and low flying helicopters were just a few of the noises we heard though out the week. It took the cats a few days to get used to the sounds of freedom, but we have discovered that nothing will come between them and exploring the great outdoors.

We kept pretty busy during our stay at Patrick by taking barefoot 3-mile walks along the beach, taking the cats out for walks, exploring the Space Coast area, and working. Yep, you read that right. Dan accepted an online job with Lionbridge. He now spends time reviewing various websites. He can work whenever he feels like it as long as he does between 10 and 20 hours each week. In the meantime, Sandy spent her time learning how to use her new Nikon D7000. She has some test shots of the Space Coast area in her album
New Nikon D7000. Her biggest challenge is learning to trim down the megabytes before uploading them.

We celebrated Dan’s birthday by moving to
Disney World’s Fort Wilderness on 1 May. We had a fun-filled week of rides, eating lots of food, and just feeling young again….yea, feeling our age and body…big time! We will try to get the photos uploaded soon.

On Saturday, we moved to a Thousand Trails campground located in Clermont, FL (near Orlando). We are booked in for the next 3 weeks. We might move early or stay. Who knows? It is very quiet here so we think we will find our Key West relaxed attitude once again. Pictures are "clickable" for larger views.
