12/27/14 Saturday Key Largo, Fla

Our 3rd day in Key Largo!!, such a friendly beautiful town!! We have seen about everything we can but this morning we decided to pack a picnic and go to the State park. Off we went in our trusty double seated bicycle (we have put many many mile on this thing!!) only about 1mile ride and when we got there, they said it was $2.50 per bike. And said will I guess it's just one bike although there are 2 on it so they just charged us $2.50 hehe. They lady said they had never had a 2 seater bike come in before!!

They park was packed!!! OMG!!! I have never seen so many people in a park before. We found a nice bench and ate our lunch, enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery. Then decided to go check out the glass bottom boat tours. There wer 25+ people in line for the next tour which was 2 hours away. So we chose not to wait that long. We decided to just ride the bike. Had a great time there. We left the park and decided on ice cream!!! Just across the street from the park an ice cream shop!!! I I enjoyed Pineaple mango sorbet and and Rod had Strawberry!! 

We went back to a marine surplus store, more like a boat parts yard sale and looked at their junk!! Hehe    Never know when you might find a treasure. 

Returned to the boat and picked up Lexie and took her to the park for some exercise and met up with with the people from Georgetown. They were have a group drinking party in the park!! Not our thing!!,

When we returned from the park we began talking about our friends Jim and Paula and both of us really felt the need to go there and support them with all they are going through right now, Jim will be having knee surgery in 2 weeks, and his has one of his twin boys that starts chemo tomorrow with stage 4 throat cancer. We just really feel we need to be there. We called and let them know we were coming to spend the rest of our vacation time in Sanford!!! I thought Paula was going to cry!!! They were sooooo excited. She said she thought she was dreaming!! ha  We know it is a God thing !!! If we listen He will tell us where we need to be!!, Sooo, plans are made we will be leaving Key Largo tomorrow morning and head back toward Jacsonville beach turn inland and go to Sanford for a month. It will take us a week or better to get there. And we will stop at Fort Pierce and spend a few days in the way back up as we had planned. 

I have posted some pics from today!! So excited to finally catch that ugarina (lizard) and got a good pic of him today!! We have seen several around. They are fast big critters!! I can't imagine having one of those things even getting near where I live!!!

Ready to pull up anchor tomorrow and head back in a north direction to Sanford. It's another 2 1/2 days back south again  from Jacksonville. 

I know we have made the right decision !!

Love to all and pray for our travels!! Fran and Capt Rod
