rv dreaming...straight outta Brooklyn

After being in the keys we made our way to an RV report in Tampa. We were given two free nights so we took advantage of it. They had a pool and some resort type games that Finn enjoyed immensely and made a new friend named Bryson. The RV resort was a bit run down and dogs were allowed just not in any of the buildings or by the pool. We mention this because it was 90+ degrees out and our RV's battery was not working. The battery kept tripping the shore line so we had no power to run the A/C. Having Franklin made it impossible for all of us to just hang out by the pool. We managed the best we could and made sure that we went places with a breeze. On Monday the 3rd we went to St. Petersburg and had a lovely time hanging out in Vinoy Park. Had good cheese Danishes from a German bakery and just kept cool with the Gulf breeze. Then we headed back to RV park and Finn swam and played more games. He is in love with Foosball! Dan read in the local paper that a special car was coming to to

 We must say Zachory Taylor was a great place end our day. Lovely beach, good picnic area and even a wedding! Finn flew a kite, made a new friend named Sage and we ate a bunch of gummy bears while watching an amazing sunset.  Sunday we headed north to Islamorada to a little arts festival in Founders Park. It was HOT and muggy. Good thing we were by water so we could all cool off. Well as much as you can in bath like water 😜. Listened to some good music played in the sand and rounded out our day with Cuban sandwiches and coffee. We also got some great news from our realtor that a lovely family will be renting our house...phew.  Then it was of to Tampa Bay ... (next post to come soon)

March 31st Off to Key West. We took a hot and sweaty walk to the downtown area to  Schooners Warf   hoping to get some "good" calamari. During lunch Franklin met his arch nemesis the chicken. After being disappointed with the calamari we ventured off to Kermits to get a good slice of Key Lime pie. Kermit's did not disappoint. The slice was delicious....so was the chocolate dipped one and their strawberry ice cream. We then made our way to Mallory Square where Franklin continued to go buzzerk over all the free roaming chickens. On our way back to the RV we passed Truman's   Little White House  and all the beautiful homes. Right before we got to the RV Franklin almost got what he was hunting for. Let's just say this hen gave us a ear full and a middle feather. Once again causing a scene in another city. After cooling off in the RV (did we mention it was hot and humid) we notice we parked 1/2 a block away from mile marker 0.  We decided to leave the downtown ar
