  • Three, no, two nights in Ormond Beach, FL–Florida in January trip

    Three, no, two nights in Ormond Beach, FL–Florida in January trip

    We were in Ormond Beach in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Most of our Florida trip was planned out way in advance, by necessity: many popular campgrounds and state parks get booked up as soon as the campsites are reservable, a year or eleven months in advance. So we booked what we…

  • Two days in Gainesville, FL–Florida in January trip

    Two days in Gainesville, FL–Florida in January trip

    We were in Gainesville in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. The drive from Bronson to Gainesville is under an hour, but we were slower due to a stop in Williston for new Airstream batteries to tide us over until we can replace the entire battery/converter system in April. Remember how our converter…

    Two nights in Homosassa, FL–Florida in January trip

    We were in Homosassa Springs in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Spoiler: FINALLY WE SAW MANATEES AND IT WAS GLORIOUS!!!

    Three nights in Palm Harbor/Dunedin, FL–Florida in January trip

    We were in Palm Harbor in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip.

    Two nights in Venice, FL–Florida in January trip

    We were in Venice in January 2022, as part of our Florida in January trip. From Fort Myers Beach we drove an hour and a half north to Venice, a seaside city with beaches, a canal (hence the name), and a cute little downtown strip. Venice seemed like an ok town–nice enough but didn’t grab…

    We spent two days in the Everglades in January 2022, during our Florida in January trip. The drive from Key West to Everglades National Park was about three hours, but we broke it up with an early stop at Baby’s Coffee for coffee and a pizza bagel. The coffee is good and the pizza bagels…

    A week in Key West, FL–Florida in January trip

    We were in Key West in January 2022, as part of our Florida in January trip. Our week in Key West might be the longest we’ve ever camped in one place, other than when we lived in the Airstream for six months. We figured we should stay awhile since it’s so far away, and because…
