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.

Robbie's Marina

Ashley Longnecker / December 08, 2015

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!

We got to Robbie’s and we were all starving. We quickly ordered our food and while we waited we enjoyed the ocean view and watching all the birds fly right above our heads. We all couldn’t wipe the smile off our faces. It’s so awesome to be in a place so beautiful. We are so fortunate to be able to travel and show our kids new places. It’s priceless to watch them explore a new place and learn about the new things around them.
