This 3 day adventure brought me to Daytona Beach to watch a cousin play in a college basketball tournament, followed by a stop by to visit my sister and brother-in-law in Vero Beach for a wonderful dinner and morning boat ride.

I take a one week adventure around Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana and the Gulf Coast, visiting several Harvest Host locations and my first visit to New Orleans.

Camped right outside the Daytona International Speedway for the annual summer race. My first NASCAR race with the van.

A few days away to one of my favorite free Florida campgrounds, Hickory Hammock in Lorida, Florida.

Cedar Key is way outside of the busy part of Florida, with an older Florida Keys vibe, and great seafood !

One of my favorite locations in Florida, Sanibel Island. On this trip, the highlight wasn’t the beautiful scenery, but instead another instance of meeting incredible people during my travels.

By far the longest trip with the van. What an awesome trip with the sister, bro-in-law, Zo & Bindi visiting family members that we haven’t seen in many years.
