Happy New Year 2013!

Greetings from sunny Florida!  In case you thought we were lost at sea... we've just been busy over the holidays with family, friends and doctors appointments in Richmond and Florida.  And while New Year's Day in Clearwater Beach was sunny and 75 degrees, Dave and I both came down with a sinus infection (or something like that) and are just now healthy again (almost).

Since my last post, we had a great week in Tarpon Springs and a fun month-plus in Clearwater Beach (including two weeks in Richmond VA).  I'm sold on Florida in the Winter!  Next post I'll catch up on our travels since Clearwater Beach...
