In Winter Park, we stayed with Mary and her brother Rick. Mary is the mother-in-law of Stephen’s sister Melanie. She is Sophia’s Nona, and loves her very much. Mary has at least ten photos of Sophie in every room of the house. Rick loves to grill and made us great food both nights.

This is the oldest town in the US, once a Spanish fort. We toured Castillo San Marcos, which was exciting for us because we studied it in our graduate architecture history class last fall.

From this part of Florida to Savannah, there is a lot of Spanish Moss on trees. This one also has ferns growing on it.
