The Life and Times of SIT: Just Call Me Ace

January 15-21, 2015

Bonita Springs played host to SIT for a week. The city’s nickname is “Gateway to the Gulf” and as you drive around the area you can see why they gave it that name.

The RV park was next to the Imperial River. Izzy had fun chasing sticks in the water and I enjoyed taking a few pictures from behind our spot.

We started out our time here with a visit from Cindy. We decided to head to Sanibel Island and show her the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge. Steve and I had toured it when we were in the area last year and knew she would enjoy it as well.

Unfortunately we discovered it was closed to the auto tour so couldn’t quite show her all the cool areas, but we did spend some time in the visitor’s center and then we could take a trail with the hope to see some birds.

We did find a few hanging out which was nice although they didn’t quite cooperate as much as I would have hoped for photo opportunities!

The other exciting thing we did was play golf. Well, I guess it isn’t exciting since we try and play at each location. Except this time something new happened.

Keeping Warm

Scenic Hole

If you recall from the post I did for our time in Marathon I shared that Steve almost made a hole-in-one. If I had a ruler I think it would have shown the ball was an inch from going into the hole. The course we played in Bonita Springs had many par 3’s which gave a person a few chances to repeat what Steve did in Marathon.

Hole 17 on the course happened to be where I made a hole-in-one! It was so fun to watch it land on the green and roll into the hole. I am glad I had a witness to this event even though he said I had to buy him a beer! This is my first one and I am hopeful I have more to come!
