We stopped for an early lunch on our way to tour Kennedy Space Center. Checking my trusty resources, I found a little spot called Causeway Diner. It’s a little family owned place in a small strip center. The food was fantastic. The only complaint was a bad thing and a good thing all at the same time. My tea and Steve’s soda…

Port Canaveral has a very convenient campground, Jetty Park. It’s right on the causeway the cruise ships use to sail out to the Atlantic Ocean. Hearing Caribbean music playing, I went to investigate, and saw this: Pretty weird, huh? No, it’s not parked there. We thought about heading over to the cruise ship terminal for a…

On our way to points north, we stopped back in at Lazydays, Tampa. While there we met two couples that are bound to become long term RVing friends. Paul and Anna are originally from Australia, now full-time RVing in North America. We hit it off with both of them immediately. Paul is charismatic and quite social. Anna is soft spoken…

Wellll, the President is in town. That’s all fine and dandy, don’t worry about us. We’ll just work our way around all the closed streets and navigate the detours. We’ll skip the sightseeing we had planned. No problem. We really didn’t want to traverse Ocean Boulevard and A1A end to end, anyway. No sirree, not us. What would be the…

We have a close, car-enthusiast friend that’s been involved with Barrett-Jackson for years. Bryan is retired from his career in city government, freeing up even more time to happily work tirelessly at the “World’s Greatest Collector Car Auction”. As a matter fact, his daughter Emily works at Barrett-Jackson full time, playing a much larger role keeping things moving along smoothly behind…

Today we traveled north to Fiesta Key RV Resort and Marina. Our home for the next week, and a little closer to the airport for Brent and Jill, since they’re flying out tomorrow (BOO!) Once there, we set up camp, and were welcomed by an amazing creature! After B&J checked in to on-site their motel room, we all…

Fort Taylor was a very interesting visit. If you’re into Civil War history, big cannons, or heck, even massive yet stunningly symmetrical architecture, you’d enjoy a bit of time spent at Fort Taylor, too. What first struck us was the moat surrounding the fort. That, and the shaded park on the outside, compared to the pristine interior, stark and…

Duval Street is the go-to Key West area for galleries and shops that, for the most part, don’t sell 4 for $20 t-shirts. If you’re looking for locally made art, Duval Street is a good place to start. We had brunch at a cute little French bistro on Duval Street that’s known for their breakfasts and crepes, The Banana Cafe. A casual and…

While standing in line to have our photo taken at The Southernmost Point, we noticed several people with bright blue mylar butterflies clinging to them. Some on their hats, some on their shirts, some on backpacks, some on purses. These little butterflies where everywhere. We found out that just up the street and around the corner was The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory.…

What’s a trip to Key West without the iconic Southernmost Point photo? Well, of course, it would still be a trip to Key West, and that’s all fine and pretty darn good, but we decided to indulge our inner tourist and go for it. Jill heard it’s best to go early to beat the long line, and that was a…
