50 shades of florida...a tale of humidity, bugs and 2 wiener dogs


after a long search, we finally found summer just a few days after crashing the florida border...that would best explain our long stay in this state...we like it warm!

as it's been many, many days since this pup last posted, I'll try to gloss over the high points of our stay in the 'sunshine state' ...or this post will go on forever and i'm a pup with a short attention span!
here's a pretty color coded map of our campsites in order of stay...we started at A and 50 days later, we are at O




















this state is way bigger than we thought and given that we like to meander...it's no wonder we hung out so long! each and every spot had something special about it, whether it was seclusion = leash free pups, scenery or sites to see.  here's a quick overview in pics...

dead river landing '(swamp) 
 

wright lake 
 

coe landing county park tallahassee 












stephen foster state park

ichetucknee springs - it's a spring, there's lots of them in florida...ponce de leon kinda stuff!















alexander springs - puppy practice for polly 





lake arbuckle park - this is where mom started to refer to polly piddle pants as 'gator bait'
















ortona locks army corp park - the worlds largest snail shells, they were the size of lemons and thankfully vacant
 





Flamingo - everglades NP - we spent mom's birthday here



















long pine key - everglades NP - drove in to key west from here...a once in a lifetime visit for us, cause those people are crazy 
 






Sebastion inlet state park 3









manatee hammock county park - yep, a pink bird

















So there - you're all caught up on our adventures in florida!  it's a pretty place, but the snowbirds are a strange flock.  

after 50 days, we are ready to say 'hasta la vista, baby'...we are headed to georgia...
