Just A Couple Weeks In Paradise;o) – Sunday – November 10, 2013

Since I’m several months behind on my blog and I know it is cold farther north,

I thought I’d do a quick update of our current adventure.

For the past couple of weeks we have been hanging out with friends

at Curry Hammock State Park near Marathon in the Florida Keys!!! 

 

 

 

 

Getting a campsite in any of the Florida Keys State Parks is like playing the lottery!!

 

Last November, Tricia was looking and found several sites at Curry Hammock.

 

She sent each of us an email and we were all booked in less than 20 minutes;o)

 

 

Nancy, Rick, Gail, Gin, Bruce, Bill, Syl, Tricia, Laura, Dan

 

 

We snagged the last 5 sites, 3 on the ocean and 2 directly across the street!!

 

                    Dan & Tricia                                  Bruce & Laura                                      Gin & Syl

                                                     Rick & Gail                                         Bill & Nancy
 

 

Curry Hammock is the newest of the four state parks in the keys.

 

It is small, 27 sites (2 are for camp hosts) and each site is very private.

 

We have had weather in the mid 80’s and most days a good breeze!!!

 

 

With that kind of weather,

we have spent lots of time enjoying the beach and the WARM water …

 

     

    

 

 

 

We had several kayak adventures to exotic places…

 

 

 

…and we did it all right from the campground;o))

 

 

 

Mother Nature shared her wonders….

Rainbows, Sunrises, Sunsets, and even an Eclipse!!

 

 

 

Six of us challenged the old Seven Mile Bridge to a Sunrise Walk!! 

 

 

 

We made good use of the wonderful bike trails we could access right from the campground:o)) 

 

 

Bill wants to thank all our friends for his  SPECIAL 65th Birthday Celebration!!!

                       

                        Great Food

 

Birthday Balloons and Pin

 

Homemade Ice Cream

Of course we can’t forget that…

 

Nature Is Amazing!!!

 

     

 

 

Great Place, Great Fun, Great Friends!!!
