Time for some adventures
After south Florida and the Everglades, our next stop was Bonita Springs. We had a wonderful weekend there with Michael’s Uncle Carl and Aunt Clara, who graciously gave us a place to sleep, fed us delicious food, and even let us do laundry. On Sunday (March 12th) we decided to take the dogs to the…

Getting to Florida
