Last Full Day in Avalon Area!

Can't believe we have been here 2 weeks.  The time went so quickly and we had such a good time.  Glad we could share some of it with Fred and Doloris!

Today was another beautiful day with plenty of sunshine, milder temperature, and some breeze!  After Ken's delicious breakfast (he definitely spoils me) we played 3 more games of mini golf.  The course is challenging and we find it interesting to try to get under par.  We went to Stone Harbor and walked about 3 1/2 miles to the end at 123rd Street to check for migrating monarch butterflies.  We probably saw several hundred today during our walk.  Enjoyed sitting on the beach in Avalon before heading back to Willie and 3 more games of golf.  We must be crazy!  I did all the driving today to feel comfortable driving our diesel truck.  It's big, but you have such great visibility!

Spent time this morning and late this afternoon getting things packed home for our departure tomorrow.  I am sad to be leaving this area, but knowing that we are heading to Timothy Lake South in the Poconos in 2 weeks makes it a lot easier to bear!  I hope we make this trip every year in Sept. for 2 weeks.  It is so relaxing and the CG is close to many nice areas.


It might be hard to see, but there are many monarch butterflies
on this bush!

Enjoyed watching this gentleman launch his catamaran
through the choppy waters!

Then we watched them wind surfing which appears to take
great balance and lots of strength!

Many large homes in the Stone Harbor and Avalon area!
Saw a very small older home on the back bay
For Sale and priced at 1.2 Million!  Imagine what this home cost??
