Barb and Dave had time for us to visit on January 16th so we headed to Lovers Key State Park to visit with them. We had last visited them here in December 2005. We had already been together on December 26, 2007.

Gulls and a dead fish. The large brown gull is definitely the dominant one. The big gull thought Barb was going to take the fish when she came up, too funny.
This is a great shelling beach:
