Florida Wildlife At Fasulo Park In Florida City FL
I made myself get out and have some fun - by myself. In this post, I share my adventure, pictures of the wildlife I saw at Fasulo Park in Florida City FL and an unexpected twist that topped off a great day.
Magic Of Lights at Homestead-Miami Speedway
Earlier this week... Nikki and Misael took me to the Magic of Lights attraction at the Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead FL. Magic of Lights is a drive-thru Holiday lights experience. It took about 30 minutes to drive through this magical display of oodles-upon-oodles of Holiday lights - which included driving through 3 dazzling tunnels of… Continue reading Magic Of Lights at Homestead-Miami Speedway
North East Florida Coastal Sunrise Adventures
In early November, when the clocks were turned back an hour for Daylight Savings Time, I was in the Central Time Zone. A couple weeks later, I entered the Eastern Time Zone and the clocks moved forward an hour - which basically put me back at square one. I'm blaming the time changes but, for… Continue reading North East Florida Coastal Sunrise Adventures
St Augustine Florida Nights Of Lights 2021
I arrived in St Augustine FL on November 29. I'm staying at Stagecoach RV Park - one of several favorite campgrounds in the St Augustine area. Finally Relaxing!?! My time in St Augustine has been busy (fun-busy) but I noticed something strange. I've been able to relax. This is the first time I've felt relaxed… Continue reading St Augustine Florida Nights Of Lights 2021
Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park in Jacksonville FL
Getting a last minute campsite is tricky these days but I managed to book a spot for 2 nights beneath the Spanish Moss in the coastal jungles of Jacksonville FL. Ok, it may not have been as far out in the wilderness as it sounds but it sure felt like I was in the jungle.… Continue reading Kathryn Abbey Hanna Park in Jacksonville FL
A Mom and Nikki Florida Keys Day Trip

From that point on, when I visited Nikki each winter, we'd take a day trip through the Keys to Key West. The last thing we'd… Continue reading A Mom and Nikki Florida Keys Day Trip
Christmas Lights – Cookie’s Final Resting Place – Homestead FL
In early December I made the 5+ hour trip from St Augustine, Florida to Homestead, Florida. Normally, I don't like to drive more than a couple of hours in a day but the campgrounds in northeastern Florida were full for the Holiday's so I made the trip in one fell swoop. In the past, when… Continue reading Christmas Lights – Cookie’s Final Resting Place – Homestead FL
Reminiscing About The Florida Sunrise
It's dreary outside, my work is done for the day and I sit here thinking about all the sunrises I experienced when I was on the road. My bed (in the van) is across the back. Some mornings I'd roll over in bed, open the curtains and watch the sun rise. It amazed me that… Continue reading Reminiscing About The Florida Sunrise
Florida Keys Day Trip – The Aftermath of Hurricane Irma
This will be my third season in south Florida and the Florida Keys. My daughter (Nikki) lives in south Miami-Dade county and I visit her for a brief time during the winter when the weather is more tolerable. I sleep in my van no matter who I’m visiting. I don’t have air conditioning (other than… Continue reading Florida Keys Day Trip – The Aftermath of Hurricane Irma
