Sarasota, FL with the Gygers

We made it into Sarasota in great time on Tuesday. We hit the pool almost immediately!! Jo had a great dinner for us and Brian, SanDee and Mogley came over, too. Sam, Jo, Dave, TJ, SanDee & Brian as we were eating a wonderful meal!

Mogley, Max and Buddy hoping for some table scraps as we were cleaning up.



Waiting out the thunderstorm. It was huge and went on forever. I enjoyed it, though, because we were all inside and NOT driving anywhere!Mogley was very scared and didn't care who knew it!
Hanging out eating dessert!

This is on Thursday in Jo's game room. We meet Shonia and Creek at Siesta, then Creek came over to spend some time with us. She is so sweet and very funny! This is Rylie, Samantha, KK and Creek.

Ahhh, Paradise on Earth

I absolutely love going to Siesta Key Beach. It is always so relaxing and just beautiful. The first day we were in Sarasota, TJ and Sam wanted to stay at the Gygers' home and swim. I went to Siesta. I had my book, chair, towels and snacks, so I was set. It was an awesome day. I could have stayed there for even longer, but it was really hot that day. I would get hot, then get in the ocean and cool down, then sit back on my chair and do it all over again. It was so heavenly. The view just as you step on the white sand from the walkway from the parking lot.
I sat just to the left of the lifeguard stand and near the water.

Beautiful!

The view from my chair in the sand.

The view right in front of me.. can't you just hear the waves now?

People riding their bikes down the beach.

Together At Last

We spent about 5 days in Columbus, GA with Theron. We had a great mini vacation. Theron took us out to eat every day and we saw two movies, shopped til we dropped at the PX a few times and played putt putt golf. We did some sight seeing, too. We actually got to see guys jump from the planes at Benning, but those are on TJ's camera. I will get them uploaded soon. That was so awesome! They guys were all very excited as they were walking back up to the bus. It was their first or second jump. I love our military!!

Downtown Columbus

Another view of the dam and downtown Columbus.

The dam with some kayaker in the water.

A view of the riverwalk. It actually goes on for miles and miles...this is the end, I think, and it starts all the way back at Ft. Benning.

Happy looking bunch! I think they were tired of pictures.

A wild boar someone had hit on Benning. It was huge!

Some of the hangars at Benning, where the guys board the planes to go jump.

A jump tower. They are 250 feet high. Theron learned to parachute at Benning years ago. It is so fun to listen to him talk about the school. He jumped from these very towers.

Another view of the towers.Sam and TJ at Steak N Shake. The couple behind them looked perturbed that I was taking a picture. If you see them on Most Wanted, call me!
Me and Theron just enjoying being together.
There is an inside Putt Putt golf place near Theron's hotel. It was pretty cool!



Getting ready to leave to go to FL. It was so hard to leave Theron.
We left and headed to Sarasota.
