Post-Sarasota

So here we are, nine days out of Sarasota and our winter home of Sun-N-Fun. We spent a couple of days driving to Pensacola, FL in the panhandle, where we met up with Ken and Martha Wiseman, creators of the RV Navigator podcast, and our partners on a summer trip to Alaska in our RVs. We spent a few hours over 4 days planning the Alaska adventure and populating our calendar with a rough sketch of the journey from Chicago to Fairbanks. We plan on being in Fairbanks by June 21st for the Summer Solstice celebration. That close to the Arctic Circle, it should be nearly a full day of daylight.

The rest of our time in Pensacola we spent touring the Naval Air Museum, taking in the movie, "The Hunger Games" (both Ellyn and Martha had read the book), and relaxing on the beaches at the Gulf Stream National Seashore and on Perdido Key. We also introduced Ken and Martha to the "FireFly" TV series. We saw the "pilot" episode and hope to get them interested enough to enjoy the entire series and the "Serenity" movie.

After Pensacola we headed north to Dothan, AL, where our synagogue is and where our good friend Lynne Goldsmith is the Rabbi. There we celebrated the first evening of Passover and the Seder at Temple Emanu-El. From there, we head north toward Boston and hope to see our kids for the final day of Passover in a week.
