| Cypress Gardens 1966 ski show |
You had to be living in 1966 to believe the story that follows.
Nancy,five year old Terri, three year old Sherri and I left Shrewsbury Mo on a Saturday morning headed for Florida. I had $250.00 in my pocket and three hundred dollars in travelers checks, a Standard Oil credit card and four nights in St Petersburg FL prepaid. We had the following goals.
* If at the ocean we needed to stay in beach front accommodations
* Every place we stayed with no beach had to have a pool
 |
| Daytona Beach I drove a 1966 Chevy Impala on this beach |
 |
| Directly across the street from Atlantic ocean in Fort Lauderdale We paid $20.00 per night for a two bedroom unit with free breakfast and a pool. My 1963 Impala is parked in the front. |
