A Tree Grows in Central Florida

After working, and having some left overs for lunch, we headed out the door to enjoy the sunshine.

We decided to go to Lake Griffin State Park, home to a large oak tree.

We paid our $5 at the entrance.

We then drove down to see the camping sites.  They are large and shaded.  We discovered a sign later that indicated that the road was for registered campers only!

Oh well, we wanted our $5 worth.

We then parked in the parking lot and hiked a trail to see the oak tree.

Have you seen the redwoods in California?  This tree pales in comparison.

We then went down by the boat launch area.  Some people were fishing.

We took photos of the boat that goes out on Saturdays.

One of the signs said Florida Environmental something so Terry photographed it and sent it in a text to Jeremy.

After the excitement of seeing the oak tree, we went to Publix.  Terry went in to pick up a few items while I talked to the Township.  While talking to them, I somehow set off the car's alarm!  That was good for a few laughs.  This keyless-entry system is challenging!

We came home to change clothes and leave for dinner at Bonefish with Arlene, Joan, Ethel and Steve.  Fortunately, we had a reservation, as it was packed.  

All of the ladies had the Tuesday 3-course special.  We had salad, entree and to-kill-for desserts.  Steve opted for just an entree, off of the regular menu.

We came home and Terry watched Finding Your Roots and Shark Tank.

I've been on some business calls and handling some business emails, and, of course, doing the blog.
