Ramrod Key

I believe I have previously shared how much we love winter in the FL keys. We enjoy everything from fishing to boating to snorkeling, basically just being on and around the water with no snow. However, as an RVer, it can be difficult to secure a spot in the limited campgrounds as so many want to be in the Florida sunshine during the winter months. If you do manage to get a spot, it is usually expensive and quite often a very small space.

So, after the last RV resort where we barely had room for two outdoor chairs, I casually said maybe we should just get our own place in the Keys. For those of you that know my husband, it was no surprise that in less than 24 hours he had hired a realtor. We spent one day looking at homes, returning to 2 the following day, and then made an offer. A short back & forth, and we had a contract. We closed on the house the end of January (while we were in Disney World – that made it a truly magical vacation). So, in just under 30 days, we decided to get a winter home, found one, and purchased it.

After we said goodbye to our friends in Disney, we packed up the RV and drove to Ramrod Key and our new house. We have a large lot, and the RV can be parked right by the house. Another big plus for us, the house came furnished. That was really good news since we didn’t own any furniture.

Now we are trying to settle in and enjoy our new place. Steve is most excited about being on a canal and having our own dock. His new boat gets delivered this week. That means lots of days on the water fishing. I’m enjoying the pool and find myself relaxing there every evening.

This does not mean our adventures are ending. We still intend to RV for half the year or more. It is winter warm sun in the FL keys. So if you find yourself in the southern keys in the winter, stop on by.
