Snowbirding at Sunshine Key

Marge and I have come to this place for over thirty years missing a few, but from the rush of having only a few days with the kids, to a nice lengthy stay this year has been quite a transformation. This is truly a relaxing "Caribbean" style time. From fishing when we want to wandering a beach and finding a few treasures.....


Last night we had a great time at an evening meal with new friends from Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Alabama, and Tennessee. We all seem to have a lot in common but we are all from different walks in life. The commonality being the traveling in an RV and seeing this United states. When its done to avoid the weather up north we become the so called snowbirds. Most of us have been coming to this place for quite a number of years
The dinner party was fun, this was Italian night with genuine homemade meat balls and sausage with a special sauce. Superbowl Sunday is going to be an old fashioned pig roast. The dog by the way ("Cosmo" all 165# of him) belongs to our hosts for the evening. It is truly amazing how many animals travel with these RV'ers. I would have to say that almost 50% have at least one animal traveling with them. By the way, Cosmo was with us through dinner and sat anywhere he wanted !!!!



This is not an everynight thing but we have certainly enjoyed getting together telling stories about some of our travels. Altogether this group has been (separately) from Alaska, to New Brunswick, to Mexico and all over the US. An interesting group.
