For all of you out there that are waiting patiently for an update.... if we were rude we might say "best get a life if your waiting on us". This WeBeGone crew should be renamed to "WeBeUnreliableBlogWriters".
We did indeed recover from Orlando and left town. We headed over to the Kennedy Space center for a few days then when down to the Everglades. We stayed at the Jetty Park campground in Cape Canaveral. This campground is right next to the outlet where the cruise ships from port Canaveral head out to sea. So we managed to almost reach out and touch a few of them.
We had a couple nice days on the beach. Of course someone got buried in the sand I forget if it was Papa or Rosalie. We have vowed to get Gigi on the next beach. Rosalie got to try out a new boogie board for the first time. We are happy to report it was a blast.
From there we went down to the Everglades. Stopped over are a real nice park just to the south west of Miami called Larry and Penny Thompson Park. A real nice RV park just over the fence from the Miami zoo. In fact we thought if we listened real hard we could hear the lions... or was it the elephants?? Could have been the traffic.
We went to the visitors center of the Biscayne National Park. Unfortunately they were having concession vendor problems so there were no snorkeling trips, no boat rides no nothing of that sort going on. But we did chalk up another Jr ranger badge.
We then packed up for the drive into the Everglades. That was interesting. The campground had not opened for reservations at that time so it was drive down and see if a spot was available. The rangers assured us that it would not be a problem. Turns out it was not. We were one of about 6or 7 campers for a 50 or so site campground. That was sort of nice to not be crowded, but it did mean that the bugs had slim pickins so they came around "real" often. Apparently they get worse but they were bad enough. Something about being in the middle of a rather large swamp I suppose.
