Jonathan Dickinson Day 6I started the morning with a three-mile nature hike while Joan slept in. Later, when she got up I joined her for a two-mile walk. After cleaning up we went to the nearby Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge and the Hobe Sound Nature Center and we saw lots of interesting critters and took another one mile hike along an educational trail.
No one can say we didn’t get our exercise today. After that we headed to Uncle Pete and Aunt Judi’s house in Stuart where we visited and watched the Australian Open (tennis) before getting ready to head north to Vero Beach to visit my cousin Kenny, his wife Khlai and son Koa.
Uncle Pete navigated while I drove up Federal Highway (US 1) which was a slow, but beautiful trip along a section of road we had not traveled before.
Once in Vero Beach we drove to Ken’s house where we picked up Khlai and then headed to a local baseball field where we picked up Koa who was practicing with his local team – The Orphans – which is a traveling Little League squad.
We watched a little batting practice and then we headed to the Lobster Shanty along Inland Waterway in Vero.
A full moon greeted us and so did Kenny. We had a wonderful fish dinner, even better conversation and said our good byes and headed back to Stuart.
In Stuart we said our farewells, grabbed a few hugs and then headed back to our campsite to get some sleep before our trek south to Key Largo tomorrow.
Oh I remember the Lobster Shanty... with all the loud, old people.
