A Weekend Visit to Naples

On Friday, Greg and I left the campground to travel about 30 minutes to Naples, Florida to visit our old neighbors, the Galiks, in their new home.

Marilouise and Betsy spent many mornings in Minnetonka walking before all the children (seven children between them) were up solving family "problems" and sharing family joys. We have stayed in close touch over the last 12 years since the Galiks have left Minnesota and always look forward to seeing each other and catching up.

 This time, we got to spend time with them in their beautiful new home complete with a lanai, pool and water garden all under a screened dome. It seemed like paradise to us!

Here you can sit in the middle of a water garden complete with the sound of several small waterfalls in a stream.

We took a picnic dinner to the beach in time to do some sunset watching. Here I am having my new favorite — Yuengling Lager. This beer is not available in Minnesota, so have been enjoying it on our Florida trip.

We had a wonderful weekend in Naples enjoying our good friends and beautiful weather!
