Today we arrived in
Wauchula, Florida. We will be in Florida for the next 4 weeks. Sunday we left South Carolina and spent
two nights in the Savannah, Georgia area. Mom and Dad left Lenny and me at home while they did some touristy things. Sunday afternoon, they toured Fort Frederica, a fort and settlement established by James Oglethorpe when he settled the Georgia colony. Monday they went into Savannah and had lunch at Mrs Wilkes' Boarding House. Mom and Dad were there 14 years ago and always wanted to go back. People stand in line to eat there. It is boarding house style, 10 people to a table, and the food is served like the old boarding house. When people are finished eating, they are required to carry their plates and utensils to the washroom. After lunch, Mom and Dad went to tour Fort Pulaski. When they got there, they found that a movie, directed by Robert Redford, was being filmed there. The movie, "The Conspirator" will be about the Lincoln assassination. The cast and crew broke for lunch so Mom and Dad got to meet Robert Redford. Mom even got her picture taken with him. He said the movie will be out sometime next year. It is hard to believe that he is now 73 years old. After Savannah, we stopped in St Augustine for one night on our way here. Now that Lenny is in Florida, this is the 29th state he has visited since becoming a member of the gypsy band. Since arriving here, we have already run into 3 couples and pets that we had met at other parks.

Very cool. You're all Hollywood now.
I saw Redford years ago while attending a Human Resource conference in Law Vegas. He was filming Indecent Proposal. We were BOTH a lot younger then.
We will be in Livingston, Texas mid January. In February down near McAllen. We do have to catch up with you guys sometime.
