Wonderful two months... heading home...March 14th and 15th.

After two months in South Florida...our best month at North Hollywood Beach...we head home. Going up A1A as far as we can and look up as many lighthouses for ACB as possible..however ran out out daylight after St. Augustine, but a good excuse to come back to S/A and look them up...Stayed Saturday in Brunswick and Sunday nite in Charlotte...then home Monday March 16th.
Lots have been seen and have done lots... this is the last for this trip but will be more, we hope!
