Tampa Bay History Center, Tampa, Florida

This was our second visit to the Tampa Bay History Center. Seems the first time we went I did not take any pictures and did not post anything on my blog. This time we went with our friends Tom and Jenanne. 

Navy Seal Museum, Vero Beach, Florida

The Navy Seal Museum highlights the Seals during the Vietnam War, the Global War on Terror, which began with the fall of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, and continues through today with the actual display of the Maersk Alabama Lifeboat, where the Seals freed Capt. Phillips from Somalia pirates in 2009. Seals operate in every environment imaginable from hot, humid jungles, arctic waters, and barren deserts. 

Tin Can Tourists 100th Anniversary Rally, Sertoma Youth Ranch, Brooksville, Florida

The Tin Can Tourists is one of the best clubs we belong to. The people that are involved are dedicated and work at setting up rallies and get togethers all around the country. There is a rally every February in Florida and 2019 marked the 100th Anniversary of the club. The rally at Sertoma Youth Ranch brought 200 trailers, some modern but mostly vintage. We enjoyed music, food, Model T rides, seminars, and friends. We do not make it to every rally but this one was special, so we made it a point to come. On Saturday, February 23 they had open house with 1500 visitors touring the trailers and enjoying music and food as well. At the end I have a You Tube of the vintage trailers in attendance.

The Wedding of Lisa & Justin, Orlando, Florida

One of the things that brought us to Florida was the wedding of Lisa, the daughter of our good friends Bill & Julie Mars, to Justin Kelly. 

Fantasy of Flight Museum, Polk City, Florida

The Fantasy of Flight Museum is an aviation-related attraction in Polk City, Florida that takes visitors back to the pioneering days of early flight, World War I, World War II and beyond. The attraction opened in November 1995, and houses the world's largest private aircraft collection on display. It became the new home for much of owner Kermit Weeks' collection of aircraft that were previously housed at the Weeks Air Museum in Tamiami, Florida and were damaged to varying degrees by Hurricane Andrew in 1992.  Kermit Weeks is an American aviation enthusiast, pilot, and aircraft collector. He has competed in aerobatics, designed aircraft, and promoted aviation and vintage aircraft restoration. 

The museum is only open Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 11am to 3pm. They have tours at 11:30 am and 1:00 pm by two very knowledgeable people.
