Second Trip Update: April 9th-12th


Hello all!

Still in Florida! Today's Easter, and we're camped out at the Bay Shore Cove RV park in Tarpon Springs outside of Tampa on the Gulf Coast. Since Thursday we've spent our time in Cape Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, and Miami.

Thursday & Friday in the Cape, Touring NASA to see Endeavor on the launch pad, and and Apollo rockets they have on display. Before leaving the Cape, passed  through the Cocoa beach scene and stopped at the famous Ron Jon's Surf Shop. 

Saturday & Sunday, we stayed in Miami to visit with some good friends (Alba & Tyler Weinman and Alba's neighbor and friend Ted H.)  Alba and Tyler gave us a windshield tour of the Miami, Coconut Grove, Biscayne Bay, Miami & South Beach, and the Coral Castle in Homestead.  One really cool thing would have to be the Coral Castle, which we were astounded by...Worth looking up. 

Today we drove through the Everglades, and took an air-boat ride through the area, and...as in the picture above, got to interact with some Alligators that they had at the reserve! It was all a lot of fun.

From here on we're still just finding our own path, but heading north. If we had a real schedule, we'd probably be a bit behind, but Florida's got a lot to offer, and we've been having a great time.
