Fri .March 28 - Sun. March 30

This was our last weekend at Fort St. Lucie in Stuart,FL. We finally were able to enjoy a nice, sunny, warm day at Jensen Beach on Fri. Water was still a little too chilly for us, but it seems not for others. I think kids have a different tolerance for cold water, because they were splashing about having a good time.we stayed there most of the day. Richard had a great find with his detector... 2 pennies!
Sat. It was gloomy and rained off & on most of the day. We saw signs for a flea market (surprise ,surprise , Florida sure has a lot of them!) So we spent a few hours there... A lot of walking. Even Richard was pooped and he is like the "energizer bunny", never slows down ! We went to evening mass and played cards & watched TV the rest of the evening. 
Sunday morning Richard made us a good breakfast, bacon & sunny-side up eggs on his griddle. Then we went to the driving range and hit a bucket of balls.We spent the day at the campsite because there was a NASCAR race on TV, so of course Richard wanted to watch it! I took a bike ride around the area. The campsite is right by the St.Luci locks and there is a walkway where you can watch the boats going through.. Interesting to watch how the water level is raised or lowered. Reminded me of the time when our kids were young and we took a trip down the Illinois river on our 28 foot pontoon boat & went through 3 sets of locks. It was a fun experience for them and us. Tomorrow we leave for Orlando &back to Jack & Jans. I will be flying home for 2 days to attend our grandson, Matthew's confirmation  on Wed.April 2, so I won't be posting for a few days till I get back. Richard is staying and visiting with Jack & Jan while I am gone.
