Florida Keys

After leaving Panhandle of Florida, we spent 1 night Perry KOA, an OK place to stay for 1 night. We then drove to Sun N Fun resort in Sarasota for 2 nights. Did not get to see any of the friends in the area, timing not right. Then we drove toward Florida Keys. Weather just got better the further south we drove. First 2 pics taken as we entered the Florida Keys, in 1 picture the draw bridge was up, but we only had to wait a few minutes for traffice to move south. Third pic was taken on the drive way into the Calusa RV park in Key Largo. A little scary seeing all those trees after our experience with a pine tree in Woodland Park, CO, but there weren't any large trees in the camp site where we stayed. The Calusa park was again an OK place to stay for the night, but not a place we wanted so stay for several days. The interior roads were paved, but rather narrow, so not easy to back the RV into our space for the night. The next day we drove to Marathon where we were staying for three nights at the Grassey Key RV park. A small RV park, but really nice. It is located right on the Overseas Hwy and on the bay, with docks for any one with a boat, and a few RV sites right on the water. We didn't get to park on the water, mahybe next time, but still enjoyed the stay. Our first night in Marathon, we had dinner at the Island Restaurant. John Peck who held our auction in June had recommended we stop in the restaurant owned by his sister Cindy. John's parents were visiting from Gladwin, MI, so we also met them and John's sister. Had a really good meal and great service at the Island Restaurant. Our grandson Joe and his girlfriend Jen had purchased a gift certificate for lunch at the Blue Heaven restaurant in Key West. We spent a day in Key West, checking out the Sloppy Joe and Hogs Breath bars, where we bought souvenir T-shirts, and had lunch at Blue Heaven. There were chickens were running around on the ground and roosters crowing in the trees and on the roof during lunch. Good food, but we had to wait 45 minutes to be seated.
