After a hearty brunch at Blue Heaven, a stroll was in order, so we headed to nearby Duval Street. On our way I spotted a place that made me think of our nephew and his wife: Enough champagne with do this to a person: We spent quite some time at Wyland…

The past couple of days the four of us had walked miles, been in and out of multiple shops and bars, and just generally go, go, go. We were quite ready for some down time. That’s why we saved Blue Heaven for last. Blue Heaven is a unique place. At one time it had a bordello, where…

What’s a trip to Key West without the iconic Southernmost Point photo? Well, of course, it would still be a trip to Key West, and that’s all fine and pretty darn good, but we decided to indulge our inner tourist and go for it. Jill heard it’s best to go early to beat the long line, and that was a…

I know I poked fun at the fact that Key West is now quite touristy, but, please don’t judge. We totally did the tourist thing today. We walked around exploring shops, bar hopped, walked a little more, had another beverage… You get the idea. Fun fact: If you think you’re going to find an authentic Key West conch shell to…

Brent and Jill are here! Woohoo! To quote them, “Most people photo bomb, we vacation bomb.” Funny and true. We had only planned to see them in Galveston. Those two crazy kids decided to join us in the Florida Keys! They rented a waterfront trailer only a few sites down from ours, and arrived right at sunset. Hugs all around,…

Our day started out just the two of us. We decided to try and find a spot on the beautiful blue water for lunch, and Sunset Grille and Raw Bar was just the ticket. Perfect location at 7 Mile Bridge, and a choice for both of us: I love sushi, Steve doesn’t. This place had options for each of us. And I…

Can you believe the photo above is unretouched? True story. That’s the color the camera captured. Breathtaking. Okay, back to our regularly scheduled program… We drove from Tampa all the way to the Florida Keys, with one stop for lunch. We had eaten our share of sandwiches in the RV, and fish and seafood at restaurants recently. What we were…

We’re in Tampa for a couple days, staying at the Lazydays Campground at their RV dealership, the largest dealership in the world, they’re very quick to point out. Large trees shade the lines and lines of recreational vehicles of all sizes and types. Just like I love looking through model homes, I’m game to check out motorhomes, too. I was…

We’ve traveled in our RV to New Orleans twice before, and each time the highway takes us through the bayou, we dream of being on a boat getting up close and personal with the creatures that inhabit the murky water, and moss covered trees. Well, today was our lucky day. After a little research and asking the locals, we settled…

Off the ferry and back on semi-dry land, we stopped for lunch. Staying true to our style, I found a local eatery off the beaten path. Well, not on the tourists’ radar, but our next stop was DEFINITELY on the local’s radar. Reviews of Davis BBQ and Cafe spoke of getting there early before the line is out the door, and you…
