Winter 2015

Florida

We spent New Years Eve 2015 with friends on Deerfield Beach, in Florid. On Jan 3 we went to the Florida Keys and Curry Hammock State Park for 9 days. The park is close enough to Marathon that we walked on the Old Seven Mile Bridge and enjoyed the wildlife in the park.

That was followed by three days in Easterlin Campground in Ft Lauderdale for shopping and more family visited. On January 15 we went up to Lakeland for a week to have the truck serviced before heading out west. While in Lakeland we walked in the Polk County Nature Center and saw more wildlife.
