is. We continue to have absolutely gorgeous weather - I just can't believe this trip! We still haven't had a single "rain out" day, and almost no days of clouds and overcast skies. The last couple days have been pretty windy, but that doesn't really slow us down too much. 
Mostly, we've just been enjoying the park and doing things really close by. We've biked together a couple times, 
we made our first visit to the Sebastian Beach Inn (the "SBI") which we enjoyed last yea
r, we've been into the town of Sebastian a couple times for groceries and to take Brandi to the exceptionally nice dog park there. I've done a lot of walking and Dave's done a lot of fishing and biking. And it's been just wonderful. Tomorrow's a big day - we're going int
o Melbourne (about 35 miles north of us) to go to the zoo. BIG adventure! But in the meanwhile, I wanted to post a few
pictures and that'll pretty much be it for this post.One quick comment on a much sadder note-maybe people back home have seen the stories on the national news about the horrific traffic accident down here in Florida. It happened Sunday morning, just south of Gainesville, on I-75. Apparently there was a brush fir
e in Payne's Prairie (which is a state park we stayed at last year and absolutely loved) and the visibility on I-75 was down to virtually zero, and cars and trucks and semis started piling into each other and exploding. Ten people were killed and another 18 or 20 injured. I think there was one RV involved also, at least according to one of the reports. When we see stories like this, especially involving roads we've traveled and places we've visited, it just makes us so very grateful for all of the safe miles we've put on and the traveling mercies we've received. It's a grim reminder that we all take our lives into our hands every time we venture
out on the roads and makes us realize how fortunate we've been that (...knock on wood!) we've not had any bad experiences with all the thousands of miles we've traveled.
