Chillin' in Cedar Key

We've been chillin' in Cedar Key this past month.  Our days have been filled with fun things like walking, biking, playing cards, and hanging out with friends.  We've been very disciplined and walk most every morning before breakfast and coffee (I take Sunday off!).  There's a small group of us that head out for a jaunt around the park each day. It's been tempting to skip these past two days as the temps took a little bit of a dive and it's been chilly enough to put on long pants and wear a jacket (ugh!).  Although we bike throughout the day, we also try to do a couple of rounds around the park after dinner.   A few nights a week, a group of us play cards (or dice) up at the clubhouse.  We've had a few dinners together as well....tacos and all the fixings one night and breakfast for dinner another night.  Yum!!

Then we've had the mundane things to do like weed and ant patrol and rig maintenance and upkeep.  We went to the CK Seafood Festival last weekend and Dan saw a sign that said "I fought the lawn and the lawn won".  He has turned this into a song and sings it quite frequently.  He is determined to decrease the amount of sand spurs we have.  ;-)

We're getting ready to the head to the Keys for a month.  By the luck of the draw, we were able to finagle reservations at two state parks for a month!! ;-)  We're meeting some friends there and are looking forward to many, many days (and nights!) filled with laughter and good times.  I know we will get in plenty of bike rides, kayak trips and, if history repeats itself, a little bit of mischief!  ;-)

Last night, we went down to the pier in Cedar Key to watch the sunset.   It was so tranquil as we watched the birds fly, boats pass by, and fishermen (and women!) throwing their lines.      




We walked around town after the sunset.  It was a beautiful night to be outside.

  1. Long pants?? Oh no! *snort*
    Well, we've been sporting our long pants for a few weeks now. *sigh* And I remember that "icky" feeling when I first had to put them on.
    Hope you have at least two pair.

  4. Ahhhh Florida! Beautiful sunsets! I remember them well. Sounds like you guys are having a great time. You need to take your bikes to Winter Garden and ride the trail and visit the downtown. Really nice. Jim and Deb could meet up with you. Take care.
