Happy Thanksgiving!

Flamingo Campground Everglades National Park Homestead, Florida Day 7

I woke up this morning with very tired legs.  I decided to be lazy and skip my morning walk.  We were going to go for just a short bike ride from the campground to the marina.  There were a bunch of manatees so we did FaceTime with Oliver and Austin so they could watch.  They also wanted to see the crocodile, so we biked over and called them again to show them pictures of the croc on the boat ramp.  It is really fun to show them where we are and what we are doing!

After the calls, we got going again, we felt better, got in a groove, and pedaled all the way to Mrzek Pond.  It was all together about 11 miles.

We stopped at the marina and sat by the water for a while.

We had lunch outside in the campground…another lovely day!  This afternoon, we worked on the steps again…well Tim did…I was just the gopher.  We didn’t make any progress.  The motor is off now and we plan to take it to Homestead tomorrow and see if we can find a solution.

We had roasted turkey, steamed green beans, grilled sweet potatoes, orange cranberry sauce, and brown rolls for our Thanksgiving celebration.  Dinner for two!

We texted, messaged, and called friends and family.  We are very grateful for so many reasons and we wanted to take the time to be thankful today.

We watched the sunset from the old gas station at the marina.  There were too many people at the beach this evening.

A nice walk, until the mosquitoes chased us back to the Jeep!
