We arrived back in St. Paul, MN on May 15, 2009. We have some catching up to do in our blog to share the rest of our trip with you after we left Fort Myers. In a nut-shell, we stopped in Orlando so Jeff could go to Universal Studios for the day. Then we went to The Kennedy Space Center and toured for a couple of days. WOW! That was awesome! We took a simulated space shuttle ride --- what a trip! We'll drop some pictures in later on that trip. From there we went to visit old St. Augustine. A bit too touristy for us, so we moved onto Savannah, Georgia. What a great city! It is preserved so well it's just unbelievable. President Lincoln told Grant to leave Savannah untouched during the Civil War, so it is very intact. In the yards of the beautiful old homes, there are HUGE Live Oaks with the Spanish moss dripping from the branches . The city proper is filled with so much "green" space you just can't believe it. There are tons of antique stores and lots of music, art, theater and lovely southern hospitality. We really liked Savannah! After a week there, we went to Charleston, SC, for a few days, then up to windy Myrtle Beach, then Wilmington, NC, then to the Deleware shore to visit with my sister Kathy and her husband Don --- who were gratious hosts for a few days. Our last big stop was Washington DC where we rode the metro into the city each day to visit the museums, go through the US Captial and stand in front of the White House --- what a thrill that was!!
So -- we are back in St. Paul now, catching up with friends & family, trying to work as much as we can and appreciating our home town.
Give us a call --- we'd love to see you!
Jeff & Wendy
