Still Heading South in Florida! Port Canaveral, Fort Pierce and other stops along the way!

We have been really busy as we continue to get used to life on the road. We still see new sights and have new experiences at nearly every turn. We’ve learned Florida means much more than beaches and alligators and have really enjoyed seeing why so many people love the Sunshine State. We also have seen the full impact of the snowbird season…For those of you still in Georgia and beyond—Have you seen anyone over 70 years old lately? If not, it’s because they’re all down here with us!  

Here are a few pictures from February 12-February 15, 2020:

Manatees—take our word for it. 😊 We didn’t get great pictures, but we saw them at Canaveral National Seashore Park in Mims, Florida. It’s unknown why they love this area, but they are consistently seen here. They sign says, Maybe they love to come here to watch all the people!

Walking along the Jetty Park Pier in Port Canaveral, next to our RV campsite.

Jetty Park Pier in Cape Canaveral is 1200 feet long.

Haulover Canal. The trees line the shoreline of the Indian River and the pines make a beautiful outdoor “carpet”.

Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge near Titusville, Florida. While we drove through this area, we saw an alligator approximately 8” long cross the road ahead of our car.

The entrance to our next Harvest Host lodging site, Summer Crush Vineyard and Winery!

Our site was right beside the vineyard. After the four of us enjoyed the Port Canaveral area for a couple days, Matt and Holly Miller followed us to Fort Pierce to help set up, and then they headed back to Port Canaveral in hopes of seeing a rocket launch from the cape. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit with them and hated to see them go. Here, Craig and Matt level the camper. Meanwhile, Clay has found a bug on which to rub himself.

Welcome to Summer Crush! An appropriate name for our February 14th check-in! ❤ Fort Pierce, FL

When we told Matt and Holly Summer Crush’s entertainment for the night was none other than Barry White, they informed us Barry has been dead for years. What?? We had no idea! Oh well, we got Jerome, a Barry White cover act. Jerome was really good. Barry White would have been proud.

“Barry” even had a costume change during the course of the evening and gave out roses to the women.

Our next stop is Palm Beach, Florida. But first…Chocolate. We heard Bruno’s Chocolate Creations in Fort Pierce was great, and someone said this is where John Travolta makes sure to get his chocolate. When we asked about John, they had no idea what we were talking about. 😃
