Marty and Jan...aren't they precious

Saturday, October 29th.  Game day.  There were FSU flags waving all over town.  Most of the other campers in the campground were fans in town to go to the game.  The campground hosted a breakfast that morning and it was nice to meet many of the other campers.  We then went to Marty's house to begin our day of sightseeing.  Marty and Jan drove us around the downtown and then through the FSU campus.  A very pretty campus.  We saw Jan's Sorority house and the house where the 4 girls lived who were killed by Ted Bundy.

We then drove down to St. Mark's Island, which is a wildlife sanctuary and the site of a lighthouse.  Besides lots of birds (and alligators) this was a stopping point for Monarch Butterflies.  There were literally thousands of them.  The sand on the beach was that very fine (like sugar) white white sand.  Marty said we would see more of that when we get to Destin.

We then went back to Marty's for a great steak fry.  Marty introduced me to his 'secret sauce' to marinate the steaks.  It was delicious.  We also had some of the best asparagus I've ever had.  Then Marty and Jan's friends, Mark and Candy came over for dessert.  Very nice folks.  Mark introduced Marty to Harley driving and has been a good friend since Marty moved to Tallahassee.  Candy made us a delicious batch of Chocolate Chip cookies and they will be accompanying us on our trip to Arizona.  It was a great day.
