The kids have an interest in bridges. Mostly because daddy "babysits" the parking lot of a major engineering firm that has built many famous bridges. He was able to get a calendar that highlighted 12 of their more recent projects.
One of their biggest projects, in my opinion, is the Sunshine Skyway. Daddy had asked if the kids could visit the office some day to look at the pictures of this particular bridge because it is located in our state. I had shown them a picture or two on the Internet but we figured the firm itself would have the best pictures.
Well, what we decided would be even better was to visit the bridge in person. It is about a hour away from where Grandma lives. I am not a builder, don't care about how things are made or how they work. I just care that they DO work. But, I have to admit, I was pretty curious about the bridge. It is really, really high up in the air. It's height is 431 ft and it is 5.5 miles long.
We drove it one way, fished and then rode back over it the other. I have to admit, it was pretty spectacular . . .

Hey Annie. I've had company so just now catching up on all your news. SO sorry to hear about Angel. Goodness, it's hard to say goodbye to such beloved friends. I'm glad she's no longer suffering.
Glad to hear you had a nice trip to see G'ma. Love all the photos.
Love to all,
