Gator Alley

Well, we made it there and back! I know you were all terribly concerned. No delays, no issues getting out of Grand Rapids or Detroit airports and no delays coming home. Florida was wonderful and warm and just plain ol' fab. We had temps in the 80s every day we were there, we laid by the pool, swam in the pool, went to the Gulf (too cold to swim in but some people were swimming), ate lots of good food, hung out with Joc's fam and went down gator road. I took other photos but they aren't nearly as cool as the gators! We must have seen about 100 of em just lounging around, soaking up the sun or floating down the "river". It was neat.
It didn't feel like Christmas too much, what with the warm weather and no snow, but I'm not complaining. It was a blast. Makes me wonder why we all don't move south for the winter? I even managed to get a slight tan! Swell, just swell!
Happy New Year!
