Around the Hall

Just like any Hall of Fame, there is alot of old stuff on display and its not the one on the Swilcan Burn Bridge of St Andrews. I'll keep my driver as this one is impossible to swing. The wooden clubs on display were made in 1929 by Tom Stewart of Scotland for Bobby Jones. Can't imagine playing with these. Can't hit what I got now.

Another Hall

We went up I- 95 on the cold day here to St Augustine and the Golf Hall of Fame.

Happy New Year Everyone

Leaving this in New Smyrma Beach on New Years Eve to the Worlds Famous beach, Daytona Beach. Actually only about 26 miles and one flea market. We spent bringing in the new year on Main Street of Daytona Beach about 20 feet from the ball in shorts of course. Fireworks followed at midnight from the Main street pier. It was crazy but that's Daytona. Sorry, didn't take the camera.

Two ways to do the beach

Two ways to enjoy the beach. My way by driving the seven miles of open beach for cars or follow the boss. Did the driving only once. She won!

Christmas Eve

Time to move from Ft Lauderdale and follow the Met Life Blimp to our Christmas home for the week in New Smyrma Beach.

Local Government at Work

Right next door to where we are staying this week in Fort Lauderdale is the Bonnet House. Apparently, at 80 years old, this artist got tired of paying taxes. She made a deal with the city that she would give her prime ocean front property to the city upon her death if they would wave her taxes. They jumped at the offer. However, she lived until she was 109. Right now it is a tourist attraction at $20.00 per person to recuperate the approximate $32 million dollars lost in tax payments.

Water Taxi

Went on a water taxi in Fort Lauderdale after dark. The pictures didn't come out, but the 2 1/2 hour trip was spectacular. Yachts over 200 feet long. The going rate for docking is $7 per foot per night. Huge homes like you wouldn't believe. Took the liberty to insert one of Kelley's photo that we showed earlier. We like dogs & cats better.
