Sanford (but not "And Son")

Wed-Mon Mar 10-13, 2017

Very nice weather has made Sanford a great place to walk around. They have a beautiful sidewalk called Riverwalk along the southern part of Lake Monroe. Historic Sanford had a weekend full of outdoor activites. Friday night was "Alive After Five". Muscle cars on display on one street, motorcycles on another, each with their own music. Local stores and individual had tents and displays or crafts and a few food vendors.

Then on Saturday morning we went to the farmers market. Nice vegetables and some food vendors and more crafts. Later in the afternoon, several streets downtown were blocked off with many food trucks and lots of crafts. Saturday's theme was local and home brewed beer and bring your dog! Great weekend!

Sunday's weather was a little cooler and we relaxed at the marina visiting with fellow boaters Buddy and Mary. Mary made beautiful books of their great loop adventure. And we bought some charts from the boat FBI! 

Rain will show up later on Monday, but at noon we went for an airboat ride. We saw quite a few young alligators and a couple big ones. We did get to go really fast!!!!
