Returned from Florida

Well, I just got back from Astor Florida and the paying of respects at the grave of my cousin. I must say it was a long trip, some 12 hours. I averaged 22.5 miles to the gallon which I feel is decent for that large F150 supercrew I drive.

I stayed at the Astor Bridge Marina & Motel on State Road 40 and it was a nice room with a view of the marina and the restaurant where I picked up dinner at Drifters Riverfront Bar And Grill.

You can do worse. The food was tasty and the portions generous.

Had a mild boo boo in the night but that was easily remedied and I was finished with my homage and returning home at about 9 am.

I called mom at every major route landmark and the day was pretty much uneventful otherwise ... just long in the saddle on the road.
