Enjoying the Florida Keys

Enjoying the Florida Keys

It’s been almost two months since we flew back to Florida to enjoy the warm sunny Key Largo winter and all I can say is we love it here.   It was great enjoying the holiday’s back home with family and friends.  Christmas just wouldn’t be the same in 80 degree weather.  We had a great time, eating way too much and socializing for hours at a time.   As time went on I began to look forward to returning to our RV lifestyle.  It was great spending time with our 3 children whom we miss when on the road but I missed the relaxed, low key life we had become accustomed to.    We hopped on a plane and flew back to Florida in mid-January.   We picked up our motorhome which we stored at a friend’s property in the Keys and moved to our current location which is a small RV resort in Key Largo Florida.

Not long after we settled in, two of our children flew down and stayed a week with us.  We really enjoyed their visit and they enjoyed the nice weather of the Florida Keys.  Unfortunately, they had to return home a day early to beat the January blizzard.  They spent days shoveling snow while thinking of the warm sunny weather they had just left.   A few weeks later my sister-in-law spent a week with us. She also enjoyed the beautiful warmer sunny weather although it was a very windy week.  Since then we have been busy.  Our friends have a business in Islamorada and we have been helping them out with various tasks.

We have about six more weeks before we hit the road and continue exploring our great country.  While we love it down here we are looking forward to moving on.  We hope to visit Louisiana and Texas before slowly head north until we reach South Dakota.  We will spend some time in the Dakotas before heading west into Wyoming and Yellowstone National Park.  We are not sure where we will head after that but we do know we will be back home for Thanksgiving and Christmas and then “snowbird” back to the Florida Keys next January to ride out the winter.
