College Friends Visit

Gayle and Dean McGibbon are "old" friends of ours. They live in Lakeland, Florida. Gayle and Joni went to college together at the University of New York at Potsdam. And funny thing is we don't look any different than we did when we were in college!


They came to visit us at Ocean Resorts. One of our Ocean Resorts friends, Yvonne, owns a beautiful motorhome which happened to be unoccupied at the time of the McGibbons' visit. Yvonne offered us use of her motorhome for Gayle and Dean....what a friend!!!!!! So, Gaye and Dean had their first motorhome experience. It was parked only a few spots from us and that made it very convenient for our visit. Dean was ready to take off with it.....(See photo - and NO - it was not driven anywhere!) Thanks Yvonne!


We had a great time with our friends. Beaching and kayaking were the best! The weather was beautiful!


Gayle and Dean had their first kayak experience AND their first encounter with a manatee. See Dean petting the manatee. Dean almost had a heart attack when the manatee swam under his kayak and rocked the boat. Oooooooo! When we pulled into marina we saw the manatee and they were having a great time - mating! (See photo)

It was sun catching up with old friends and we hope to see them again soon.
