Our trip to Florida and The Bahamas
We had two excuses for this trip. Karl Grueschow, our nephew, announced his wedding to Kira on a cruise ship at Port Canaveral, followed by a 3-day cruise to Nassau, Bahamas. The other excuse was that Gail was given a 4-night, 5-day vacation package at Disney World as a retirement gift from Piping and Equipment Company.
Florida Statehouse
On the way to the cruise, we stopped in Tallahassee and found the state capitol building, both the old (left) and new (the high-rise building). The old statehouse is a museum with furnishings from the early 20th Century and a number of important historic artifacts, not least of which is pictured next.
Voting Booth
In the Florida Statehouse museum, we saw one of the voting machines made famous in the 2000 Presidential election, with one of the award-winning butterfly ballots. There was even a ballot box in one corner, probably still full of uncounted ballots.
Luggage Delivery
The luggage was delivered to our cabin when we went on a cruise from Alaska. On this cruise it was delivered to our ship. Actually to the very deck where our cabin was.
Cruisin'
The cruise included a stop at an island owned by Royal Caribbean. But we didn't stop, because the weather wasn't good enough to run boats to the shore. But don't worry, we'll stop on our way back to Florida.Be sure to click on "Older Posts" to continue ->
