Dry Tortugas National Park : Simply Magical

Ashley Longnecker / January 05, 2016

In December 2014, when Jonathan and I were in the beginning stages of trip planning, we knew we wanted to spend December in the Florida Keys. I mentioned it on Instagram and the lovely Jess Curren from Currently Wandering told me of their plans to visit the Keys in December, too! They were going to make a trip to the Dry Tortugas for a few nights of tent camping. I had no idea what a dry tortuga was, but a quick Google search and holy cow! We were sold! We bought our ferry tickets a couple days later and from that moment on looked forward to December 31, 2015. 2 nights of camping on a deserted island would be the best Christmas present/New Years celebration ever!

While looking for fun things to do around the Florida Keys, we came across Lloyd’s Tropical Bike Tour. Since we all love riding our bikes it was a no-brainer for us. We quickly booked our tour and made the drive down to Key West.

Code:Rad - Hunger Crunch Game Helps You Fight Hunger

Jonathan Longnecker / December 13, 2015

We've been fans of Rice Bowls for a long time. If you're not familiar, they provide food for kids in orphanages all over the world. Their mission is amazing, and I just love the feel and personality they put out there.

Recently they told me about a cool little game they made called Hunger Crunch. It's a "runner" game that pits you and your mystic beast against the bad guy - Hunger. You squash, stomp and beat up his little minions that are stealing food and water.

Robbie's Marina

After our overnight in John Pennekamp State Park, we headed on down the Overseas Highway towards Big Pine. We couldn’t check into our destination until the afternoon so we planned a stop at Robbie’s in Islamorada. We called ahead to make sure we would be able to park our house while we ate and spent some time there looking around the shops. They assured us that it was no problem and they had RVs there often. Sweet!
