Sunday, January 20th

We enjoyed our lazy morning at Brenda's house. Fully taking advantage of being able to sit outside under the lanai (I could be spelling it wrong -- screened room) at the pool/patio area. You could tell we were tourists since we were enjoying sitting outside without being bundled up like the homeowners! Before making our way to the campground, we stopped at a Dunkin' Donuts for breakfast & to pick up some donuts to take back with us. Who knew, they don't make their donuts onsite -- there were less than 1/2 a dozen to be had. (Sorry Helen.)

Myakka River State Park

Eventually we made our way back to the campground. There we disappointed Helen & Zach with the slim pickings for donuts, set up the tent (aka our home for the next few days), had some coffee by the fire, and went exploring for alligators.

(If you haven't already guessed... Flat Fred is not a rule follower. He doesn't listen well at all.)

That evening, under Brenda's recommendation, we went to Gecko's for dinner. Very, very good. I highly recommend it if you come across one. (And it's not Geico or GetGo, it's Gecko.)
