Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

[Tour 931]

I woke up this morning and was letting the dog in, and smelled what my wife and I both recall as "Smells like Floroida" this morning. WHen the air currents are just right, I'm convinced that is what it is. Its usually most notable on cool or even cold mornings -- Our April is being a little big 'slow' in allowing summer temperatures to arrive -- and for that, I am tremendously thankful! This is my favorite time of year!

I"m way behind in booking trips. But, I'm also finding I can take monday and tuesday instead of the traditional weekend and have the parks to myself with virtually no forethought...there's something to that!! No Sweet Home Alabama - the hiphop mix. No wop-wop-wop of corn hole world championships.

But, I don't get to camp with friends as much.

I camp at home and want to see the world when I go. This is how the other half lives.

At least that other half still will let us play in their sandbox periodically!

Back in 2015 or so, we went down to Tampa and stayed on the Vinoy -- one of the old classic hotels of times past. Probably the best breakfast buffet I have EVER had in my life! To this day I have yet to be able to make a scrambled egg as light and as custardy is theirs was. Probably had 2 pounds of butter in it, maybe heavy cream -- but I could make mine that good - I'd never go anywhere for breakfast.

We stayed one or two nights. It was our 25'th Anniversary thinking about it --- so it was 2015.

I have no idea what my wife paid for it -- She had job that required her to fly every week to her employer for months -- so she racked on some serious miles. But, I just looked, and a room is about $550 a night. I'm gonig to have a talk with her
