Here I am Joey.................<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, here we are home again........We got home on Sunday but it has been so hectic here I haven&#39;t had a chance to post.<br />
<br />
Our Florida trip down the gulf side and up the atlantic side was awesome. Our first stop was Valdosta, Ga for an overnight stay and then on to Bradenton to our son&#39;s NMRA. Yeah Modular Depot (my sons business) took home their first championship.<br />
<br />
After spending three days there and having a ball we left to go to Sarasota to take in a spring training game of our beloved Cincinnati Reds.<br />
<br />
Keith and Rita we visited Siesta Key and had breakfast in The Broken Egg in Siesta Village.<br />
<br />
After that we ventured down to Naples and stayed for a day.<br />
<br />
Left Naples and started across Alligator Alley and decided to stop in the Everglades and take a ride on airboat which was awesome. We saw many gators and manatees. We arrived in Boca Raton and spent five great days there. Nothing but sun and fun.......On Friday night we drove to Ft. Lauderdale to meet Cheryl and Wayne. We had an awesome time and felt we knew them all our life.  Saturday night we went to Riverwalk in Ft. Lauderdale to I think the biggest St. Patricks day party I have ever seen.<br />
<br />
We left on Sunday morning and drove to Daytona speedway and took a tour and then stayed on the beach Sunday night and then headed to Savannah to Tybee island (our favorite beach). We stayed the night in historic Savannah and tried to get into Paula Deen&#39;s restaurant but there was a four hour wait.<br />
<br />
We left Savannah and stopped in Washington, DC and Philadelphia for some Philly cheese steaks and then headed to Jersey to pick up our dog and head home. Whew I am exhausted &#33;&#33;&#33;<br />
<br />
Now for the sad news. I think you guys remember me telling that our dog was diagnosed with diabetes recently well while we were gone she has gone blind. It is so sad and we are heartbroken. She is going to the vet tomorrow and spend the day and get updated on her blood work that she had done in Jersey when she was with our daughter. It is sad to see her bump into things and get acclimated to our house again.<br />
<br />
To all who had events, Birthdays, Anniversary, Illnesses I am sorry I missed it all<br />
<br />
Keith and Rita........ congrats on the groundbreaking for your new home. Is it a summer home or are you moving permanently?<br />
<br />
Joey......have a great trip<br />
<br />
Cheryl.....(gregswife) thanks for posting the birthday wishes for me while I was gone.<br />
<br />
We saw a great place that we are looking at in Bradenton beach for the winter months. We are still thinking if we could swing two houses.<br />
<br />
Anyway I am glad I am back and will catch you all later.<br />
<br />
Ciao for now<br />
<br />
&lt;strong&gt;Remember to do something nice for someone without expecting anything in return.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;]
