Florida

“In God We Trust”

The Florida Keys are made up of a bunch of little islands just off the southern coast of Florida. This chain stretches for over 180 miles, encompasses 800 keys, and is connected by one main highway with 42 bridges. When you reach the end of the highway, you’ll have reached the farthest key, also known as Key West.

Kennedy Space Center, SpaceX, Universal Studios Orlando, Presidents Hall of Fame & Showcase of Citrus

Kennedy Space Center manages the launching of rockets into space, while Space Center Houston operates as command and control. Because the two have separate missions, the experience of visiting and touring each will be different. However, if you’re looking for more of an interactive and fulfilling experience, Kennedy Space Center wins hands-down. Plus if you time it right, you may just get to see a rocket launch.

St. Augustine

As cooler weather started to move south, we followed suit, settling on the warmest state in the winter, Florida.

Taking a quote from Home Alone 2:

– Kevin: Why do we have to go to Florida? There’s no Christmas trees in Florida.

The Gulfarium

You’ve probably noticed that you’re hearing a bit less from us these past few months. We have been keeping our adventures low key this winter as we are retracing part of our route on our way back west. These past few weeks have been spent in the Fort Walton Beach area, a location we visited before as we went east at the beginning of 2023. We took care of a few errands, like getting our dog up to date on his vaccines, since many RV parks require it as a stipulation to stay there.
