Travel on Tuesday: Gilchrist Blue Springs

Florida actually has several parks named Blue Springs.  This Blue Springs was bought by Gilchrist County and is now called Gilchrist Blue Springs.  It is one of my most favorite places to visit.  The video below will show why.  I did not take the video.  I found it on Youtube.  The jumping dock shown in the video is no longer there which makes the park less crowded because teens and young adults would crowd it to jump and there was not much room left to swim.  So, I was not sad to see it go.  My kids were, though, lol.  If you ever can be sure and visit Gilchrist County Blue Springs.  You will not be disappointed.  You can camp there, too.

Travel on Tuesday: Virtual Tour of The Statue of Liberty

Hello, again!  This Summer we are going to NY to visit family and we decided to spend a night in NYC on the way up to our cabin.  There are 4 of us and with the limited time, I hope we can all agree as to what things to see and do.  If we decide not to visit the Statue of Liberty, Caitlin and I will view the video below.  It is a walking virtual tour of the Statue of Liberty.  There is no talking at least not in the first few minutes, except for people in the background.  There are so many cool places to visit in the USA, not to mention the rest of the world.  I could do a blog post every day just on this topic.

If you have not heard yet Microsoft is no longer servicing Windows 7.  I have a dinosaur PC, ten years or more old, and of course, it has Windows 7 on it.  I looked at buying Windows 10 but it was almost as expensive as a new laptop.  So, I am working on getting 10 years worth of data and images off the dinosaur PC, so it can be moved to the grave.  This could take a while, lol.
