Don and Cathy's house in Cape Coral...check out the

view from their lanai.

Long story...We were on Don's boat and

he had 3 guns on board!!! OMG and AK 47!

Nancy, Curt and Maddie.

Ok, I got these pictures in backwards order...oh well, at least I did it!

Nancy and Curt came from Illinois to visit and we had a really fun time. A friend of Nancy's,

Cathy Holmes, used to live in Dallas when Nancy did, so we met her about 20 years ago. She got divorced and now moved to Ft Myers with her new boyfriend Don. Don lives in Cape Coral, Fl and turns out he has a 42' SeaRay..Sedan Bridge. Same size as ours but configured differently (different model). So we hooked up with them at their house and went out for a cruise and Jerry and Christine also came with us. Their house has an awesome view down a canal off their lanai.

While we were on the boat....we got to talking about pirates etc...and Don said he carried 3 guns on board! So I just had to see the AK47...never saw one before. John and I, as it turns out, are probably the only people we know that don't carry on their boat or motorhome!!

One night Christine, Jerry, Nancy, Curt, Paula, Connie, Don and Cathy and John and I went downtown for the pub crawl. These restaurants were supposed to have free appetizers...but..noooo, when we got there they were always gone. So, we proceeded to drink and "crawl" and ended up on the rooftop of the Indigo Hotel with a band (DJ) and danced till midnight. On the way out of the hotel we had to take the elevator from the 12th floor ...or whatever floor, and of course we were all potted and thought it would be fun to all jump at once....well, low and behold, the elevator stopped!!!! There were 2 other couples in there we didn't know...and Nancy and Curt were not with us...they stopped in the restroom. Well, this one man was not happy with us at all, but we thought it was hilarious. We were actually stuck for about 15 min. Come to find out that elevator has done this before.....(not that we shouldn't have jumped...) Anyway, we were children that night but sure had fun!!!!
