Update

So it's been a little while since I've last updated here.  Let's see if I can remember what's happened.  We left the everglades and headed to Florida City for a night.  The resort had a heated pool, which the girls were thrilled to play in for the afternoon.  We caught up on laundry, restocked the fridge and planned our next steps. 

We decided to head West, across the northern boundary of Everglades National Park.  We spent a night at Collier-Seminal State Park.  The park was actually full, but we were allowed to boondock overnight.  Being without electricity reinforced the fact that we needed a generator if we were to spend more than a few hours on battery.  So the next day we headed toward Naples, purchased a generator and tried to spend the afternoon on Marcos Island.  We discovered that RV's are not allowed to park anywhere on Marcos Island, so we were ultimately denied the chance to spend the afternoon on the beach.  The girls were very disappointed.  We soothed our disappointment with doughnuts and a scathing letter to the Collier county parks department.  We moved on to Palmetto Florida.  We stayed at Fiesta Grove RV resort, where there were orange trees on every campsite.  We filled our fruit bowl... so good!  We spent the next afternoon at Anna Maria Island beach and had a great time even if it was a little cool.

The next day we headed across Florida to Titusvill on the Atlantic side.  We conspired with our friends, the Spotts, to surprise the kids with a visit.  We met at Canaveral National Seashore.   It was cold and windy, but the surprise was worth it.  We spent the day together, including a meal at the trailer. 

From Titusville we went up to St. Augustine, the only city to be continuously inhabited since 1572.  We visited the Castillo de San Marco, an old fort.  It was cool to see and hear people passionate about history tell the story of the Castillo.  It inspired Andrea to be more excited about her Kansas History assignments. 

We left St. Augustine and spent a night at Eagles Roost Rv campground.  The spanish moss on the trees was incredible! 

We are now at Koinonia Partners near Americus Georgia.  It's a cool place and worthy of a post of it's own.
