Fabulous Flordia Trip to Maranatha Village Sebring, Florida


This was our first glimpse of Florida palm trees from the  airplane.
Since we arrived on Valentine's Day, Gerry and Connie took us to Outback for a "sweetheart's dinner."
Because we landed in Orlando we were able to enjoy the Disney World fireworks on the drive to Sebring.
We stayed in a  lovely duplex that they call a"Villa." It was right across the   street from Maranatha Baptist Church.We had the use of our own golf cart, although we did not play golf.  It was handy for getting to the swimming pool and Gerry and Connie's house.




There were some unique
 plants by the screened in porch.  It was relaxing to sit out there with my Tim Hortons coffee and enjoy the orange tree and lime tree in the backyard.

I had no idea that there were so many different kinds of palm trees.  However, I did not see any coconuts on the palm trees where we were.
Rides on the golf cart took us down the "Avenue of the Palms."  That is my name for Maranatha Avenue.  The other fascinating trees were the "live oaks" with the hanging moss.
