Having fun

Well we have been here almost a week now and have been having fun. We have spent lots of time with our friends Andy and Chris. Today we went to a National Park called De Soto National Memorial. It is in Bradenton FL. and is where De Soto came in 1539 to find gold like he did in Mexico. He spent 4 years exploring Florida and some states above it. He died in 1542 in what is now Arkansas with no gold.




 We also went to a beach called Manatee Beach and it was a real nice beach on the Gulf Cost. 




Gloria did a craft sale here in the park but did not do very good at all. Not sure if she will do it again next week.
We also went to Pain State Park just up the road the other day to check it out. It was not very much but did have a place to put the Kayak in the Peace River. Not sure if I will do that one as it would be a 9 mile paddle to the park. May try kayaking tomorrow at a place about 4 miles up stream. It has been real hot here with lots of humidity and should be better tomorrow.
