Disney With the Grandkids (December 2009)
Monday, December 21, 2009 - We drove to Disney and met the kids and grandkids at Wilderness Lodge where they were staying. We did two parks with them: Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom. At Animal Kingdom we spent time at Bones, did the Kilimanjaro Safari, and saw Lion King and Nemo. After a nice dinner, we took the boat to Magic Kingdom andwatched the parade and the fireworks, which were spectacular.
Back Home
Thursday, December 18 - We came home a day early so we didn't have to pack up in the rain that is forecast for tonight and tomorrow. We started packing at 6:30 and had pancake breakfast with the park volunteers at the nature center. We left at 9:47 and arrived home at 11:30 after driving 93.4 miles.

Oscar Scherer State Park (December 13-18, 2009)
Sunday, December 13 - We had to bring the camper back to the house and pack it this morning, but we were not in a big hurry. We got it all ready and were on the road by 10:24. It was 71 deg and foggy. We arrived at the campground at 12:33 and 82 degrees after driving 107.4 miles. We set up camp and droved over to Blackburn Point and wade fished for awhile. Nothing. We went to KFC and had dinner. This is a great site.
Monday, December 14 - After oatmeal for breakfast, we drove to North Jetty Park and fished from the jetty, the beach, and the shoreline by the channel, but still caught nothing. We did not see anything caught while we were there, and many people were fishing. We had delicious pork chops on the grill and veggies in foil for supper.
Tuesday, December 15 - Our explores for the day began at Venice Pier. We've concluded that we could not put up with the language and smoking that go on there. We'll stick to kayak fishing as soon as we are able. We then drove down to Casperson Beach Park, which is really beautiful. We fished for awhile from the bridge, then the beach without success. Next we drove to Shamrock Park which was also very nice, and finally Lemon Bay Park, where we will definitely do a kayak trip next time we are here. We met a nice couple who were putting their kayaks in at the launch and going to do some fishing. The gave us good reports on the redfish and trout fishing there.
Wednesday, December 16 - We drove north towards Sarasota and checked out Siesta Key and Turtle Beach. This is a good place to launch, but is much busier than the places we were yesterday. We had lunch at an open air restaurant and enjoyed the meal. In the evening we returned to Casey Key and had an ice cream cone before going back to North Jetty to watch the sunset. We have decided to leave a day early to avoid having to break camp in the rain. We don't mind camping in the rain, but don't like putting things up wet and having to open up again to dry out when we get back home.
