Monroe Habour Marina
Today was a much needed workday.
It's been over two weeks since the boat has been washed and longer since I've
done laundry. So while Stan took care of the outside of the boat I did the
inside. It wasn't an exciting morning, but no matter where you live the housework
and yard have to be done...ok we don't have a yard, but who at home has to wash
the outside of their house? After lunch we went to the grocery store...it's
also been over two weeks for that too and we were out of everything fresh.
When we finished our work we
went for a bike ride along the Riverwalk, it’s a wide path that runs along
Lake Monroe. Sanford has done a good job in fixing up the waterfront and there
are several pretty parks along the Riverwalk for families to play and people
can fish from any spot along the path.
Sanford is known as the
"Historic Waterfront Gateway City," it sits on the southern shore of
Lake Monroe at the head of navigation on the St. Johns River. The city sits
approximately 20 miles northeast of Orlando. The historic Sanford Memorial
Stadium was built in 1951 on the site of the old Sanford Field, which was
originally built in 1926. The new stadium was built as the spring training
facility for the New York Giants. Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays, Tim
Raines, and David Eckstein have all played baseball in Sanford and it was the
location where Jackie Robinson first took to the field in 1946 to play baseball
as a member of a white Class AAA International League. Unfortunately, for us,
this stadium is no longer used for a spring training facility for any team. It
would have been fun to watch a team work out or see a game.
