Day 62: Sunshine Key RV Resort.

Today we packed up the Airstream to head further down the Keys. But not into the unknown as usual. Everyone warned us about how crowded the keys are this time of year so we made reservations for all 9 days just to be on the safe side. Even though we booked these sites a couple months ago, it was still nearly impossible to find spots. So during these 9 days, we have reservations at 3 different campgrounds.
wait for me!

Day 58: A vacation from our vacation.

Our last day in Boca Raton before our intermission trip we decided to head out to a cool place by the beach called Gumbo Limbo Nature Center. Just like Sugar Sand Park from yesterday, this is another gem of a place for kids that runs off of visitor donations. This time, Marlene stayed back to tidy things up in the Airstream and to magically pack everything the 4 of us will need for 10 days into one check-in suitcase. Good luck.

Day 57: Driveway living in Boca Raton.

For the second time on our trip, we are sleeping on a friend’s driveway. Our last courtesy parking was only for one night in Arizona right before we headed out to Bisbee. Here in Boca Raton however, we are staying initially for 2 nights and Yoda will be holding down the fort alone in the trailer here for another 10 days while we fly home. Of course Paul has graciously agreed to keep an eye on her.

Day 56: Del Boca Vista, Butterfly World and the Easter Bunny.

We left Larry and Penny Thompson Park this morning to continue on to the next phase of our trip. Even though we planned on heading down to the Keys, we are actually headed north for the next 2 days to stay at our friend Paul’s house in Boca Raton. If you have been following our trip, you might remember Paul and his family when they met us at Sanibel island a couple of weeks ago. He is letting us park the van and Mali Mish on his driveway when we fly back to California for 10 days to attend Easter and other family events.

happy at denny's.
