Fun in the Sun

Fort Pierce, FL  March 10 - 15, 2013

We left Homestead and headed up to Fort Pierce which is on the mainland with Vero Beach, Orchid Beach and Hutchinson Island across the intercoastal waterway.  This is a fun stop because one of our new favorite book series takes place in Orchid Beach.  We arrived at the Road Runner RV resort to find that the entire campground had been taken over by Quebecians.  There was so much French being spoken we thought we were in France.  It was a beautiful campground with lots of trees and green space, but this made the campsites a little tight.  We were able to pull-in without incident between the trees and our neighbors awning tiedowns.  I guess it was closer than I realized as we had several neighbors comment on my skills!

Indian River on a beautiful day.

Beautiful tomato stack salad and chicken cordon bleu stuffed with pancetta made by Peg.
 No wonder we haven't lost any weight!  Delicious.

We spent the next few days driving through the beach towns and hanging out on the beach.  It was very nice and relaxing.  The barrier islands are really beautiful with the open Atlantic on one side and the Indian River (intercoastal waterway) on the other.  There was one beach designated as the dog beach which was great, but Calcite had a little too much fun and ended up very sick after ingesting her body weight in sand and saltwater.   We met some very nice people in this campground; Don and Sue our very close neighbors from Ontario, Joan from New Hampshire who pushed her cat around in a stroller and Maryann from Maryann, Indiana who helped us trim the dogs nails.  We enjoyed talking with all of them and look forward to seeing Don and Sue in Niagara Falls.

A friendly passerby!  Walked right thru our campsite.

Coming soon... Jacksonville, FL and St. Simons Island, GA to meet the Crouch's Woo Hoo!
