Monday back at home

It's Monday morning, and we are back at home. We had to cut the road trip short, due to an electrical problem with the old Mercedes, but I am still on vacation. We did get a chance to visit with Jamie's dad, and it was a wonderful few hours. On our way to North Florida, we decided to get a hotel room instead of trying to get to our campsite late in the day. Also, it was 100 degrees out. We got to Ichitucknee Springs at 8 AM Sunday morning, and it was packed with Fathers Day crowds. People with inner tubes and canoes were all over the place. A little too crowded for us. So we took a few minutes and swam in the springs, and decided to head home. Lou wasn't allowed near the water, (new rules to protect the springs are actually good, considering how many people use them) so we really didn't have a good reason to spend the night camping. The drive home took longer than I remembered, and although the car had been running fine, for some reason when we stopped at a rest area, she didn't start, again, and we needed a jump.
This morning we are going to Fort Lauderdale beach. It's going to be hot, but hey, a beach day is just the way to end this vacation. I'll be back at work Wednesday or Thursday...I haven't decided yet. Photos will follow soon. Until next time....
