Florida Keys

We had been waiting until we made it to the Keys to have Key Lime Pie.  The locals told us that if we wanted the best, we had to go to Kermits.

When we saw the Food Network filming there, we knew the locals must be right......and they were!

We can now say that we've been as far as we can go North and South.  South is much warmer.

This is where it all started for Jimmy Buffet.  He used to play here for tips.  Funny how life turns out sometimes.

This is one of many beautiful sunsets at our RV park.

Orlando, Florida

We just wouldn't feel right about being in Florida and not hitting some of the theme parks in Orlando.  We narrowed our choices down to Epcot and Universal Island of Adventure. 

We ate breakfast in Norway and lunch in France at Epcot. 

We spent a little bit of time in China.

We had an underwater adventure.

Todd was swept away by Marmaduke

Who doesn't want to be a SUPERHERO????

Daytona Bike Week

Daytona Beach just happened to be on our way from Silver Springs to Cocoa Beach.  Since it was Bike Week and we have a bike, it seem mandatory to stop, unload the bike, and see what Bike Week is all about.  

 

We were amazed to see some of the custom bikes that people had clearly poured their heart and souls (and money!) in to.

We had burgers and drinks on the pier before heading back to the trailer to continue our trek to Cocoa Beach. 

Monkey Business

I spent another wonderful day kayaking the Silver Spring River.  Along the way I ran across this amazing bird.  After a little research, I found out that this is an Anhinga.  He can swim under water in search of fish.  Since he doesn't have water-repelling oil on his wings like a duck, he sits around like this to dry himself off.

I'm not sure what kind of bird this is, but he seemed to be drying himself too.

I'd heard a rumor that there were monkeys living in the area.  One of the stories is that they escaped when they were filming Tarzan movies here in the 1930's.  They were just as cute as could be.

They seemed to be as excited to see me as I was to see them.  I suspect they are often fed by passers by.
