Leaving Miami

Our stay in Miami has sadly come to an end. We acclimated quite well to the area and were able to move around easily.

We left around 11 a.m., heading mid-state to Lake Okeechobee. We meandered along the Florida Scenic Trail through the Everglades, then east along the Intracoastal Waterway that runs through the state of Florida from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean and through the Lake Okeechobee. Now we are in Sebastian, Florida, a bit north of Vero Beach.

Once we were settled, we had a late lunch at a great Florida "cracker" restaurant, Marsh Landing in Fellsmere, FL. Of course, we had to find a local movie theater in Vero Beach and saw Hoodwinked, an animated take on the story of Red Riding Hood, recommended for children and parents or grandparents.

We headed back to our new, very nice campgrounds in time to see the Golden Globe awards. Happy with the outcome and loved the clothes!
