Welcome back to the Horken Travel Blog!  We had to stop the fun and have a Laundry Break!  Here's how Floridians do their laundry----outside, of course!


 This is at Roger and Lee Ann's new house.  They aren't living there yet because they are putting the finishing touches on the house---but the laundry room is up and running and we are glad!!


David is doing his part with the laundry, don't you think??


Roger and Lee Ann took us on a drive down the coast and found some lovely houses.  


Who cleans these things anyway??  Not the homeowner--that's for sure!

On Saturday night we went to "Crusin' On Dearborne."  Roger and Dave took lots of pictures and enjoyed the cars.  Lee Ann and I started out with them but ended up wondering in and out of the gift shops on Dearborne.  Very fun!!


Notice the license plate.....it's from Iowa!!


Cars.....outside.....


....and in.....

That's when Lee Ann and I headed for the shops!!


The weather was beautiful and the people were everywhere---enjoying the cars, the music, the food and the shopping.


Dave thought I should take a picture next to my new Mary Kay "car!!" 


On Sunday after church we headed up the coast to a beach in Venice, Florida.

This is as deep as we went.  The water in January is very cold.  It did feel good, however!


Roger and I were hunting for shark's teeth among the shells.  We found some!!


Lee Ann, we love your hat! 

I can hardly believe that we have been here for nine days already.  We are enjoying the quiet times of talking, reading, shopping and sunning.  We are so thankful that we have had this opportunity to visit with family and have a "time out" in this wonderful environment.
