The above refers to the night time Christmas parade of golf carts in Dunedin, Florida.

Here is the video of the golf cart parade.



This is a sample of the enjoyment and fun we've experienced here in Dunedin. We've been here since rounding the bend of Florida from Carabelle. Since we've been here we've met up with friends from Nidec (Ken and Judy Frame), enjoyed the weekly farmer's market and participated with our friends from Tug O' My Heart in bike rides on the wonderful Pinellas Bike Trail.

On the way to St. Louis we stopped off at the Marlow - Hunter Factory in northern Florida. Most of the production was being displayed at the Tampa Bay boat show ... but there was one Hunter 310 that certainly caught our eye.



While in Dunedin we enjoyed the local weekly farmer's market.



We also loved biking with our friends Ron and Libby (Tug O'My Heart) on the amazing bike lanes in Dunedin.



Bottom line - we LOVED our stay in Dunedin, Florida!
