7:54 AM | Posted by Sharp's Travels
We had a motorcycle ride planned for today and there were rain showers around the area and couldn’t decide whether to go or not. Will it was only partly cloudy and so we went anyway. It turned out to be a beautiful day with a temp in the mid 70’s. We did a 131 mile ride over to Honeymoon Island State Park that is on the gulf coast north of Clear Water. Just before we got to the park we stopped at McDonald’s for our usual lunch of a cheeseburger and a senior drink for $2.03, not bad but the price has gone up. The park cost us $4.00 each to ride in. We made a stop at the visitor’s center to check out the history of the park. All the buildings are built on pylons about 12 feet high to avoid any storm surges. They have a couple of nice trails to walk but we didn’t do that as my foot wouldn’t be able to make the walk. We rode through the picnic area with was very nice and then over to the beach area. It was a pretty nice beach although not as nice as the beaches further south. It wasn’t very busy and a good place to go if you want a large space for yourself. I took a few pictures of the park and have them uploaded for you to see. We did make a stop at the Harley dealer on the way home. It wouldn’t be a ride if we didn’t stop at least one Harley dealer. We got a call from Karen Anderson this morning want to know if Grandma still had the extra ticket for the style show down at the Rec hall as her friend was now able to come. So Cheri went over to Grandma’s to see if she had the ticket, she had given it to someone else. Karen and Grandma thought the style show started at 1:00 pm and Karen told Grandma that she would pick her up at 12:15 pm. So everything is good, Well no so. Late morning Cheri took the dominos that we bought yesterday down to Ed and Lorain’s and she was getting ready to go to the style show and Cheri said it didn’t start until 1:00 pm. Lorain said no it starts at 12:00 pm. Will the monthly calendar said 1:00 pm and the tickets said 12:00. So Cheri walked up to Grandma’s to tell her that it was at 12:00 pm and also called Karen to let her know. So as you can see we all had an interesting day.
