Happy Hour!

It's happy hour at the campground!

Today was kind of a do-nothin' day. Sarah spent lots of time in the pool, the rest of us just lazed around. Minerature golf was suggested but we didn't make it. Tomorrow it's back to Key West to visit some of the places we saw on the tour.

Key West

The KOA is only 19 miles from Key West so we drove down today. We decided to take the Conch Train tour which was really informative. Afterwards we ate at a great b-b-que place near the docks. We made it back to the campground in time for "happy hour" by the pool. What a tough life!

We're Here!

Made it to Sugar Loaf Key so vacation has truly begun. Is it happy hour yet? No set plans for tomorrow.

We're going on vacation! We're going on vacation!

Greetings from Fort Pierce. This is not where we are vacationing but where we stopped for the night. :) Tomorrow we will be at our actual desination - Sugar Loaf Key. We'll be there until next Saturday and then drive back as far as Lion Country USA where we will spend the night and tour the park. I'll try to post pictures of our adventures if we can get a good wireless connection. Keep checking back.

Bountiful Garden

Stopped by Mindi and Chris's after a trip to Orlando RV. Glad we did as we were grateful recipients of some of her garden produce - tomatoes and a cucumber. Yum! She has developed quite the green thumb. I don't know what we will get from our garden as the deer love munching on the tops of my tomato and pepper plants! They also like rose bushes and sunflowers. Any suggestions?

Fish!

We finally have fish in the pond! Up until now its only inhabitants have been a frog and some tadpoles. It took longer and involved more expense than I planned on but on Saturday 2 fancy goldfish and 12 "feeder" goldfish found a new home in our pond. We ended up having to buy a UV clarifier and a second pump but the fish seem to be happy. We weren't able to find any affordable koi on Saturday but we'll keep looking.

Functioning Pond

We have a functioning pond! Unfortunately we had to buy a new pump and filter but now the "falls" are falling, the plants are are all placed, and it's ready for fish. Do we play it safe and buy feeder fish or do we splurge and buy a few koi?
