In Florida

Hey,

Just wanted to let everyone know that we made it safe and sound. Yesterdy we went to Clearwater. We ate lunch and then, go figure, it started raining! We also had fun having a random conversation about John Travolta. Supposedly Clearwater is the national headquarters for Scientology. Who knew? So we kept looking at landmarks asking things like, "Do you think John Travolta satys at the Holiday Inn Express? Do you think he eats Dunkin' Doughnts?" We took a brief walk on the beach in the light rain and then headed back to the Kipps. Had a great day hanging out, watching TV, eatting BBQ and watching Just Friends which we all thought was a hilarious movie.

Today we're going to small beach near the Kipps house and then we're heading further south to a beach that is supposed to have good seashells. Tonight we'll be grilling steaks and eatting homemade french fries. Tomorrow we're off to Busch Gardens...where were going to drink as much free beer as they let us....okay, I may not drink that much.....

If the Kipps have the right connections I'll post some pictures tomorrow morning. Esp the one of their palm tree that Ryan almost killed. It looks like a big stick standing out of the ground! LOL!
