Visiting Mom & Dad

On Wednesday we went by trolley and three buses to get from Fort Myers Beach to North Fort Myers to visit with Mom and Dad Hodge. It was a smooth trip but took about three hours and only cost us three dollars each. Local transit systems sure are convenient and cost efficient as long as you are patient with the many stops. The four of us mainly visited except for the trip to Wal*Mart and the computer store. Dad and Larry played a round of golf on Saturday and had a beautiful day for it. Our time went quick as usual but it was good to get together before we head North.

I took this picture of Mom, Larry and Dad in front of their house this morning before they drove us back to catch just the trolley at Summerlin Square.

Our plan is to leave tomorrow morning when we wake up. We will get fuel and water here in Fort Myers Beach and head for Indian Key to anchor for the night. Then the next day go up Indian Key Pass to everglades City for a day or two. We then will head back to Marathon so Larry can visit the dentist before we head North.
