Sunshine Key RV Resort and Marina

Ashley Longnecker / January 07, 2016

We found Sunshine Key RV Resort and Marina through an IG friend - I asked them if they would recommend it and they had lots of good things to say. Once I heard the words ‘heated saltwater pool’ I was sold. (I’m such a baby about cold water) We booked our stay for Dec 1 - Jan 4 (we needed a day to recover from our Dry Tortugas trip).

Upon arrival, we checked in, handed over A WHOLE  BUNCH OF CASH, and we were given our site number and found that we didn’t have sewer hookups! Are you serious? Did you see the $$$$ I just gave you? The nice lady at the office said they had ONE site that we could switch to with full hookups and suggested we drive to both sites and see which one we would rather have. Well, that’s nice! We did that and the other site she suggested was smashed in between other RVs and the first site (the one without full hookups) was near the ‘beach’ but NO ONE was around us! Umm, yes, we will take the ‘private’ lot please! Luckily we had just bought a blue-boy not that long ago so it would come in handy! We opted for showers at the nearby bathhouse (which was very clean) since our gray tank was still broken. We did have the resort come pump our black tank each Saturday morning. 

We set up and enjoyed the sunset from our little slice of heaven.

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!

It was finally here! The week of our Dry Tortugas camping trip. It's been over a year since we tent camped and I was totally spacing on the necessities. Once we started getting all our gear together, it looked completely overwhelming. 6 people for 2 nights of dry camping requires a ton of gear. Jax was feeling overwhelmed as well.

We are spending the month of December in the Florida Keys and having the time of our lives. We were made to live at the beach. I mean, come on, have you seen our kids' hair? 

Lloyd's Tropical Bike Tour in Key West

Ashley Longnecker / December 15, 2015

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.

Lloyd is not a historian so if you’re looking for a tour that tells the history of Key West, this may not be fore you. Instead, you'll find yourself laughing often at his jokes and having a blast riding the quiet streets of Key West. It is the easiest ride, as the highest point there is just 18 feet above sea level.

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.
