We were busy in Florida. We've already left and are about to arrive in Fort McAllister Historic State Park in Georgia, just outside of Savannah, where we will camp out for the night.

The space center was phenomenal, if you ever get a chance to go, you should! Plan to spend the entire day, and try to plan for two days. The place is massive.

Photos are missing from our day in Key Largo (Florida Keys). We'll post those later.

In Key Largo, we walked in the Atlantic Ocean side by side while we waited for our glass bottom boat tour to see the John Pennekamp Coral Reef, the only coral reef in the United States. We saw several Zebra fish, Yellow Tail Snapper, and Great Barracuda fish. All of this activity was followed by lunch at The Fish House where we dined on Lobster Bisque, Mahi Mahi, crab cakes, and of course, key lime pie.
