A Beautiful Day of flying in south Florida


Only a few short weeks left of flying in south Florida, so we are flying every chance we get. Also taking more photos than usual, hoping to capture the beauty of the area. This photo is my new favorite photo.

A Few More Florida Photos




Just wanted to post a few additional photos from a beautiful weekend of flying in Florida.

A Beautiful Weekend of Flying in Florida




Well, I haven't posted in months, and thought I'd post a few photos from our weekend. We were supposed to have stormy weather, but instead it was pretty nice. We really enjoyed flying up the coast of Florida for dinner at the airport at Vero Beach. There is a nice restaurant at the airport and a lot of local Florida retirees come there for dinner. It is a fun place to fly in and very pretty. Even though we are both looking forward to moving to Texas -- I do think we will miss a little of these beautiful Florida sites.

Venice





A few more photos of Venice.

Venice






Venice is a really special and unique city. It was a much larger city than we expected. We had bad weather there, but it was still fun.

The Vatican





Vatican City is a separate soverign state within Rome, and home to St. Peter's Basilica and some of the world's most famous art. I am not a huge fan of art, but the thing that was the most spectacular of everything was the Sistine Chapel. The famous ceiling that was painted by Michaelangelo. He started painting it in 1500. Here are just a few of the tons of photos we took.

Luis loved this ancient ruin area




This area is called the Castel Sant'Angelo, rising above the river. It served as an army barracks, papal citadel, imperial tomb and medieval prison. Today the 58 room museum traces the castle's near 2,000 year history.
