DAY TRAVEL RECAP
A group of 30 went on a day trip to St. Augustine. We enjoyed a tour of the SanSebastian Winery, a movie, wine tasting and we also purchased wines. Lunch at the Columbia or restaurant of choice. We then shopped, sampled fudge and took a sightseeing trolley. It was a great day. As always, bus driver Casey took great care of the group and the travelers enjoyed playing bingo and movies to
and from. In the last 6 months the day group has enjoyed trips to Medieval Times, Strawberry Fest, Hard Rock Casino, Isle of Capri and Coconut Creek. Stay tuned for our next day trip in the fall. NOTE: Definite plans can’t always be made far ahead of time for these day trips as Casino Connections are always searching for the best and affordable deal for our members.

WASHINGTON D.C. REVIEW
The weather was great. Wellcare gave us a rain poncho but the only time we needed it was on the bus. A faulty air valve caused a little excitement and a few inside showers! So much to see! The World War 11 Memorial just opened in 2004 so that was new to most The black granite walls of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the larger-than-life statues of the Veterans of the Korean War were amazing, there’s no way to describe this breath-taking tribute. The Lincoln & Jefferson Memorials, Washington Monument, White House, Capitol Building, Arlington Cemetery….so much to see! Our guide, Mary, was fantastic, a true history buff, she knew everything including little bits of trivia to lighten the mood. Going home we stopped at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens in Virginia, a peaceful change of pace. A wonderful trip, we’ll certainly do this again!
