Hanging out with family in Florida

Before heading off for two months in Europe, I needed to spend time with my Dad and brothers in Florida. It was also an opportunity to visit and stay a little while with my childhood friend Jeanette Johnson Gray and go down memory lane with my brothers. I graduated from Merritt Island High School and lived in Cocoa, Florida with my family as a teenager. It was great to see our old stomping grounds as kids and as teenagers but it also made me realize that even though there are things I remember, there’s also so much that I’ve completely forgotten.
