Florida...finally

We left Amy's on Sunday and drove to Titusville, FL.  It was a long day but we made it to the RV park safe and sound.  We stayed at a KOA.  The usual stuff...easy on and off the expressway, cable and wi-fi.  Not where we would stay for an extended period of time, but it worked for overnight.

Monday morning we set out for the last 318 miles to Marathon.  Instead of taking 95 all the way down and driving through the Palm Beach traffic and the Miami Madness, we jumped on the toll road at exit 129.  What a difference!  We will always go this way now.  95 through Palm Beach County is like 5 lanes each direction, lots of traffic and lots of exits.  It's always maddening. Same with Miami.  But by taking the toll road it was easy sailing.

We got here around 3:00 and by 4:00 we were enjoying a cup of coffee in the sunshine and fresh air.  We are at the Jolly Roger Travel Park on Grassy Key just north of Marathon.  This is our third time here.  It's a great RV park and we have a site in the new area where we were last year.  The sites are huge and have a nice brick paver patio.  They have cable TV, free and fast wi-fi, a nice pool and they sit right on the Gulf of Mexico.

Even though I was dead tired, I did go down to the docks to watch sunset.  It was a good one.

On Tuesday, we went to Curry Hammock State Park to the beach.  It's just as beautiful as last year.

I went to sunset again last night.  Some fishermen were cleaning that day's catch and birds were hanging out to catch the scraps.

We hit the beach again today for a couple of hours, sat outside with the dogs and then once again headed to sunset.

The weather here has been great so far.  Sunny and 80 every day but the Miami TV stations are calling for some strong storms tomorrow.  I guess we'll see what happens.  For now, I'm ready to refill my coffee cup and watch a bit of TV.
