Florida trip..places and things

My cousin Cheryl and I drove to Florida. Below are some photos I took. I always seem to have my camera out.

Jacksonville was our first stop in Florida. We stayed  couple of nights with my cousin, Cheryl's cousin Pam and her family.

this small Chinese take out restaurants sign just cracked me up. This little restaurant wasn't far from where we stayed.

St. Augustine was our next stop.

a vacant store that still has it's Woolworth's door. I use to love going to town as a child and shopping in Woolworth's. Miss that store.

Bridge of Lions

low tide near the bridge...oyster bed

Gator Bob's store in St. Augustine where I stopped to buy my husband Datil Hot Pepper sauce which he loves.

 

Daytona..it was a few days before the start of  bike week, but I had to stop to look for a t shirt for my oldest son. When I travel I always bring him back a Harley shirt.

tractor trailer pulling the biggest BBQ pig roast cooker I've ever seen near the Harley Davidson store. My oldest son does pig roast as a side business, so I took pictures of this rig to show him.

cooker was the length of  a tractor trailer bed

Enjoyed the gorgeous flowers in bloom, seeing dolphin swimming in the ocean not far from shore, pelicans and even the alligators swimming towards me on Alligator Alley going from the West coast of Florida to the East coast.
