Davie RV January 2017

Our 1st extended RV "campground", Davie KOA in Davie, Florida.  Not too bad but no privacy, wall to wall people/RV's.  Everyone seems to have a dog - or three or one rv had 6, that I could count. The KOA had clean bathrooms and a second story dinning area.  

We met up with Mom and Kris on Tuesday and headed to Flamingo Gardens.  Took a tram ride and walked through the gardens.  There were tons of birds, a couple of alligators, bears, panthers and turtles.  Great place to learn the names of some of Florida's birds and shopping in the gift shop, of course. We also sat through a wildlife experience with an opossum, falcon, python.

 

 

                                    

        We had a paining class at the resort and hung around the pool.  

We are artists!    

To the Everglades!  Mom wasn't feeling up to it so she stayed at the resort and we went and road an Airboat and meet the alligator whisperer!  Saw tons of gaters and birds!

 Then had gater bites (really???) A bit tough, but taste like chicken!

Took a tram ride in the National Park!  At first I was sure we'd be disappointed and not see any alligators but no,....not at all!  We saw tons!

Around 1ish Jim got a phone call and then a text from a number we didn’t recognize.  They finally left a message and it was from the RV campground saying we were supposed to be checked out today at 1.  They didn’t sound very happy.  Jim called and said we were hours away and would be staying the night.  They indicated it would be an inconvenience to another camper but it would be ok.  I was working up to a confrontation but no need...  When we got back we stopped in and they were good with us staying. Time to relax!  Kris and Mom decided to stay at the airport hotel to help in the transfer to the airport early on Friday.  We are heading to Key West on Friday.
