November 5, 2012 – The Stop Sign That Bit Us and Juno Beach, FL

John kissing stop signs going to Juno Beach

We left Daytona for Jupiter to visit  John’s 100 year old mother.  John decided to turn into a grocery parking lot but he couldn’t turn around in the lot to drive out.  He came so close to the stop sign, he had to go outside, grab ahold of it, pull it away from the bus and let me drive forward or take the stop sign with us.

Millie and KatieBug got to visit in Mom’s room and KatieBug got to sit on the bed with her.  It’s always enjoyable when we visit mom even if she is in her own little world.  At least, when she talks with family that have passed, she always includes John and I in the conversation.

Johnathan Dickinson State Park

We stayed at Jonathan Dickinson State Park and our site was very nice.  We did have to move once but the second site was the handicapped site with a cement walk all the way to the nice clean restrooms.  It is a beautiful park with miles of beach area, beautiful sunsets and lots to do.  Our plans are to visit again and stay longer so we can take the boat out to see the Manatees.

Juno Beach 3  Juno Beach dogs gone wild  Juno Beach Millie guarding seaweed

Juno Beach has a leash free area and we took both the dogs just before a storm was to arrive.  Millie and KatieBug dashed around like dogs gone wild and enjoyed every second of their time on the sand.  Neither had been on the beach before.   Millie found the seaweed interesting enough to guard, so KatieBug had to dash around and try to get there before Millie so she could have some for herself.  Seaweed dog breath is not a pleasant smell especially in the tight quarters of the LilyPad.
