December 27, 2014 Last day of driving to the Keys

Saturday, December 27, 2014

It wasn't to noisy so we did get some sleep.  We agreed to leave at 10am as this day was to be a short one only 180 miles or so.

Our daughter Christina and our grandson Brandon  left Jacksonville to join us in the Keys but they arrived at the Gaming house before we left so we all traveled together.

As soon as we hit Route 1 in Homestead, FL traffic started to slow down to 20-25 mph.  Needless to say a short trip turned into a 5 1/2 hour drive and then it took us another 2 hours to find out how to get registered at the base, empty and refill tanks and get setup.  We decided that we would try and find someplace to eat.  Wanted to find a local place but unfortunately we didn't know the area and it was getting dark so we just went to Outback.  Another time. What a long and tiring day. Christina kept telling us to see the Iguanas along the road but we never saw them.
Max is ready to travel for the day
