Vacation Day 1

Vince & I took a well deserved vacation this past week. We drove to Spring Hill, Florida on Friday evening and got there around 11pm. On Saturday, April 10, we ventured to one of our favorite little beaches, Pine Island. The weather was a bit overcast, but was sunny at the beach. It costs $3 per car to go to this beach.


On the way to Pine Island (which is all of 10 minutes from my parents' house in Spring Hill), we stopped at a biker's restaurant to eat fish & chips. We ate outside on the deck, next to the swamp which had a real alligator in it. The signs said do not feed the alligators, but of course everyone was. Good thing we were several feet higher than the water. We also saw a boat which looked like it was loose & coming down the road straight towards it. It ended up being a boat on wheels that someone was driving like a car. So weird. I didn't get a chance to get a picture of it.
We did however get a picture of the fin swimming in towards the swimmers at the beach. Everyone kept saying it was a dolphin, but it never jumped or came up to breath. It just stalked like a shark. I'm convinced it was a shark.


That evening we settled into the Spring Hill house and watched a Clint Eastwood movie and ate PBJs and popcorn. We also changed out a few burned out bulbs & cleaned up the house before we left the next day.
