Alachua, Florida

Staying a 2nd night with Nigel Watson, an old school friend of Doug's, and his partner Ruthie, on their 6 acre farm here in Alachua. It has been a great visit for the sunny weather, good company and hours of "horsey" entertainment for the girls -- especially Rose -- as they enjoy the two horses here on the property under (big) Ruthie's professional and watchful eye. We're about 30 minutes north of Gainesville and plan to head for Jensen Beach tomorrow with a night's stay in between (at a place we've yet to select but likely near Orlando).
