Change of Travel Plans

We had planned on going to Alaska this year, but we have decided to wait until next year. Our son, Fletcher, is going to join us on the trip to Alaska and he said that next year would be better for him to go. Last year we traveled 15,000 miles (a lot of gas) and it was expensive camping and traveling in Canada (no regrets), so we decided to travel less and stay longer in one place.

Also, our friends Al & Symphony from Collinsville, Alabama and Mike & Gayle from Ozark, Alabama were going to join us on the trip to Alaska with their RVs, but it turns out that they can’t make it either this year.

So Mike & I decided to travel around Florida this summer and visit the state parks there. Mike and I grew up in Florida, but there is a LOT of places there that we haven’t been to. Since we are Florida residents we can stay a the state parks for 1/2 price.

Some of our plans are to visit our son in the Keys, various cousins around the state, and my brother and family in Kissimmee. We plan on staying in the Everglades park for a bit (may only be a few days - it will be summer after all!). We've never been to Busch Gardens in Tampa, there is also the Salvidor Dali Museum, Stephen Foster Folk Center, Cape Canaveral just to name a few places on our list.
