Places to Stay
|
While many of the places we used to stay have closed or changed over the years, there are some lovely areas to consider.
Suggestions of areas to stay in or near... Rollins College - where mama studied and graduated from is in a lovely part of town. Lakes are plentiful! There are many lakes and beautiful parks with spanish moss swaying in the breeze. One of Mama's favorites was Kraft Azalea Gardens on Lake Maitland. Artists, bring your travel supplies and plan to sketch by the water or at the park (Mama and I, Emery, did this often when visiting!) *Northerners, assume there is wildlife living underwater and pay attention if walking pets by the waters edge. :) |

In lieu of flowers, we would love if you could give to any of the following in Alison's name...
Save the Manatees - Alison loved sharing how Florida was before Disney moved in and, as the kids were growing up, they would swim with manatees at Blue Spring State Park or tube down the springs. Growing up in Winter Park, Alison would surf, run around barefoot, and always loved the sun.
Cumming Nature Center - This is a meaningful place for our whole family and there is a gallery dedicated to Alison's parents here as well. Please click on "Add comments or instructions" and write something such as "Please direct my donation to the Cumming Nature Center in Memory of Alison Hurst"
ACLU or DNC - Alison spent many hours trying to make this world a safer and better place for everyone. She volunteered many hours, always voted, and encouraged everyone to do the same. Her last vote was cast in this past presidential election where she hoped for a different outcome. Please keep fighting for a better world now that she is gone.
Local Hospice Organizations - When hospice came in as we left the hospital behind, it was the best experience by far that we had the entire 5 months. Please feel free to support your local hospice. While I'm sure they vary, the people doing this work are, in Alison's words "Angels".
