Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, Indian Shores, Florida

Today we visited rescued birds who are rehabilitating from their injuries at the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary.

Located near Tampa in Indian Shores, Florida, this free attraction provides medical care and a home to injured seabirds until they are ready to return to the wild.

As injured birds recover they are transferred into larger open rehab pens where some are able to come and go as they please.

Birds can often be seen on top of the netted enclosures just begging for entrance.

Birds which have permanent, crippling injuries are provided with a home for life either here at the Sanctuary or at other qualified zoological parks around the world.

Residents of the Sanctuary eat between 400 and 600 pounds of fish each day.

Wherever you go, there you are.
Somebody was born this month and somebody pooped on their sign.
This bird followed us out the back gate of the Sanctuary to the beach and flew away.

Visitors were warned not to disturb the nesting area on the beach behind the Sanctuary.
See some footage of the birds in this video.

Lazy Days Campground

Our first stop on our early summer rv trip is Lazy Days Campground where you can spend lazy days lounging at the screened pool.

On the weekend, you can take in a poolside movie. Tonight was the 1939 classic "The Wizard of Oz".

The Exit 10 Restaurant is just like eating at home.

The restaurant is equipped with the captain's chair and multiple slide out booths.

The Rally Center can accomodate hundreds of guests.

Disney's Winter Summerland Minature Golf

The ideal waterfront campsite can be found at Disney's Winter Summerland Miniature Golf.
We played the Summer course complete with Cinderella's Sandcastle.

Goofy is as Goofy does.

The Jolly Old Elf got buried in the sand.

Are all these gifts mine?

It's always Christmas here at Disney's Winter Summerland Miniature Golf.

The silver Elfstream is the perfect trailer for little people.

Santa enjoys surfing and fishing during his off-season.

Marlon rests after an exhausting round.

She may look like the "grandma-type", but be on the lookout for Helen at the course. She is a mini-golf shark and will beat you every time.

Epcot with Trina and Delbert

Today Delbert and Trina joined us at Epcot.

We pointed out our picture on the Leave a Legacy wall.

Goofy was there to greet all of the goofy people who arrived before the park opened.

After a fast morning ride on Soarin', we headed into Living with the Land.

Are these are the same hydroponic plants we have seen here for year on end or are they new ones because the old ones died?

Last summer Epcot brought back a blast from the past: Captain EO starring Michael Jackson and the ever-popular elephant, Hooter.

Bruce swallowed a couple of old people.

Some flowers were planted here. Don't know what kind.

Mission Space was fun for Trina, but not a favorite of Delbert's.

The nearest smoking area can be found somewhere straight ahead and to the left.

The poor city suffered from a blackout with Trina and Delbert trying to supply the energy. Trina blamed it on her malfunctioning stick.

A friendly tourist took this awesome picture of us in from of The American Adventure.

Props are ready for Illuminations: Reflections of Earth in a few hours.

Oh my! It's the band at Germany's Biergarten Restaurant. Enjoy the music with a little bit of German meatloaf. And we DO mean a little.
