We were so blessed to be able to get to the Tampa area as 2013 wound down because one of Stacy's oldest friends, Kathy Rapp, lives here, and we got to ring in the new year with Kathy and her family.

Kathy and Stacy were cheerleaders together long ago, and have kept in touch over the years as life's changes have moved us around the country. Kathy, her wonderful husband, Jim, and their great kids, Lindsay and Austin, welcomed us into their home and then Jim and Jack beat us SOUNDLY at a rousing game of Pictionary. (Yes, we DO know how to party down, don't we?)

On our way here, we did stop for one night at Lake Okeechobee. We didn't see much of it because it is surrounded by a really large berm and several waterways. But we understand it is one of the largest fresh-water lakes in the U.S.

We are heading north now, it is pouring rain and getting colder, and Jack keeps saying "I like it better when it's warm". He misses the Keys already. But, we have new adventures to discover!
