A beautiful day here in Key Largo, and our last day!!!! We thought we would make the best of it so we took off on our tandem bike and got about 200 yards and the back tire went flat!!!!!! Thank God we had not gone to far. Soooo we pushed it back to the boat and Rod replaced the tube in the tire and off we went again and within 60 ft!!! Flat tire again!!!! We then decided to just take the folding bikes!! We were not going far as we were told of a botanical garden state park just over the bridge. We packed us a lunch to eat there. When we arrived we paid the 5.00 to enter and what a disappointment!!! It was a little patch of wood that had more mosquitos than tree leaves!!! Ha we just left and went down the street and found a roadside picnic table and ate our lunch. Stopped at the family dollar store for a few things and went back to the boat. Rod then decided he would make the 6.5 mile ride (12 miles round trip) on the small bike to the Kmart for new tires for the tamdum bike. He had been gone about 10 mins and he was back as now he had a flat on his small bike!!! Ok!!! How many flat tires can you have in one day!!!!? He then took my folding bike and off he went again!!! 1 hour later he called and he had arrived at the Kmart. Purchased new tires, tubes ( and he also came home with me a valentine candy box) 😍!!! After a rest he had the tamdum bike up and going again in no time!!!! We are ready to ride again!!!
We prepared the boat to take off in the morning loaded the bikes on the boat, checked fluids in the motors, and filled our water tanks, and put all unnecessary stuff away!!! We are ready to ride again!!!! Ate some dinner of leftover chicken noodle soup, dishes done, showers taken, Lexie walked and ready to go to bed!!!
It's has been a hard as one year ago to day we were making the trip to Salisbury, NC for the accidental death of my son in laws father, Terry Roseman. Praying as I know it has been a very hard day for the family.
Tomorrow is my Birthday and so excited to spend it traveling down th keys to Islamorada!!
Pray for safe travels for us please, and the health of our home!!! Love and blessings to all, Fran & Capn Rod
