Florida 2013

Finally some pictures from our trip to Florida Jan 30 - Feb 6.

We flew into Fort Lauderdale and rented a car.  We drove to the Duncan Conference Center where Wayne attended a 'Head of Staff' training conference that he found very helpful.  Debbie had free time to visit, shop, walk on the beach, and mostly sit by the pool!!

 Prayer labyrinth and outdoor worship space.





Here is the South Dakota gang who were attending the conference.  
Kent Stillson from Lutheran Church of our Redeemer, Watertown, Wayne, and 
Tim Sersen from Good Shepherd Lutheran, Aberdeen

****************

After the conference we drove south through the Florida Keys and stayed for 3 nights in Key West.
Driving across the overseas highway through the Florida Keys.

Southernmost Hotel - it was so nice!




 Our first Key West Sunset!!

One of the 3 pools at our hotel complex.


Key West resident.  Lots of chickens, roosters, and cats on this island.

The America 2.0.  We had a 2 hour sail on this schooner one afternoon.  
One of the highlights of our stay in Key West.

Leaving the harbor... two cruise ships that were docked at Key West.




 Tank Island, Key West, Florida


The crew said we were sailing at about 11 knots!

Coming back into port.

 More Key West residents!


Each evening there is a Sunset Celebration at Mallory Square.  
Vendors, street artists, music, and lots of crazy people!



And of course beautiful sunsets.



 Banyan Tree.

 mmmmmmmmmmmmm.... key lime pie!

 We read about Garbo's Grill and that it was one of the highest rated places to eat in Key West.  
Found it... its a food cart!

 Southern most point of the continental US.
