If you had to put up with the NE Ohio winters, you'd want to move there too!
We got back late Monday night and all I can say is it was heavenly!!!!!

Here are some pics!!

Does Jerry know how to sunbath or what??? LOL



My mom and sister were there, along with Jerry's parents, so we really had a great time. Here is the lot of us. Jerry's parents are in the back.



I just love these birds all over the island! We were on Anna Maria island.



Jerry and I. I look half asleep!



A beach we went to.



The sunsets were gorgeous!!





The water was soooooo blue!



My mom, me, sister Carol and mother in law



Look how they decorated/painted the fridge in our condo!





and then there was Gary the Gecko who lived outside our door in his own little house.....isn't he the cutest thing???



But you know what the best site of all was?? Seeing TTP&B's faces when we came home after being gone 5 days! We all plopped down on the bed and had one big headbutt!!

It looks/sounds like a very pleasant vacation, and I just love Gary the Gecko! Jerry's mom looks too small to have bore him.

Don't you know that people who live in the colder areas, live longer??? My DH's grandfather was 100 when he died; his brother in Canada was 106.

You die younger in Florida cause of the heat and humidity. Cold makes you stronger.

Stay in Ohio

Kind of like they say cut out red meat, smoking, drinking, etc and you'll live longer. My grandfather did it all all his life and lived to be 89! You just never know huh?

Trust me... you dont want to live here...

Wait until its the summer and your AC breaks, or you have to be outside longer then 30 minutes... Its miserable. The humidity is overwhelming! The winters are nice. (when it actually gets below 80) But its those summers that do you in. I guess its cause I have lived in the tampa area for my whole life, but after a while, the beach is very dull... And the hurricanes aren't fun either.
