Off to Miami!

Cooper and Tina arrived safely on Saturday, versus Friday night-  We vegged out most of the day- went out to eat at Applebees- Sunday, we took it easy pretty much, Cooper Bette and I headed to McDonalds for breakfast, then we stopped by the Flea Market and found a couple of things, Bette always does-  then back home so Bette could take our neighbors to church, then we watched Football and loaded the motor home for the trip.

This morning, we ran back up to McDonalds for breakfast and by 0830 or so we were on our way to Miami.  Good news, the Fit seems to tow very well-  hardly notice its back there, plus our fuel milage is better, think it has to do with the fact that the Fit weighs a lot less-  Got 8.9 mpg on down to Miami. 

We got into Pembroke Pines, where we will stay for the week, and got all set up.  We made a quick run down to Wal Mart for some hook ups for Coopers video game, but we couldn't get it to work just yet. 

Had supper, then everyone is watching tv-  nice park here, a county park with 50 amp, sewer, concrete pad, and all paved.  Its located on a large lake/lagoon. 

Got lots of things planned for the trip- tomorrow, we're running over to visit several places in Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades National Park as well- then Cooper and I have seats for a Miami University basketball game.

Wednesday, we're running down to a couple of spots in Biscayne National Park, then stopping at the Gold Coast Railroad Museum, to see Pres Roosevelts old private railroad coach, then over to South Beach and DASH for Cooper- He's a big Kardashian fan. 

Thursday, we'll head back over to the Miami Beach area and take in the local sites, should be quiet since its Thanksgiving. 
Friday, we'll head back to St Augustine. 

Here's our spot at Pembroke Pines....
