Today it's Miami Beach....it's about 45 minutes away on a good day...a bit too far to leave Gracie in the RV so ...."Gracie's Going to Miami Beach!!!"

It rained on and off least night....and the skies are still unsettled...

It doesn't take long before we are full-on City driving again!!


We just love to see cruise ships in the harbours and man-oh-man these are BIG!!! 
They are each a city in themselves!!!..


and then this....

Luckily it was really short lived and we got to enjoy the city.
We finally found parking....a typical issue in the city and no different here in Miami Beach....home to the "beautiful people" with more money than they know what to do with....so they buy yachts and beautiful homes..



Took a walk along the waterfront from the Marina.
I could get used to living like the rich...as long as I didn't have to sell my soul....
Lots of money here...
Not sure how it's all made....
Saw two young girls.....too much botox and too much plastic surgery...
...greeted by some "Pretty Play boys" escorting these young escorts onto their yachts...
and it saddened me...

We moved on to see this cute little dude plucking bugs out of the water...one by one....there were many little fish...but she wanted the bugs instead..

Still unsettled skies to the West and sunny to the East...



Gracie was enjoying the walk but the heat....29 degrees ...and humidity....about 85% humidity... seemed to be getting the better of her today.......it's like you just walked under a mister...



These loungers were in the city park...how cool is that!

The streets were busy...the parks were busy....the beaches...busy...


And this is how you skateboard in Miami Beach!!

We knew it was going to be busy at the beach...it's a sunny Saturday and it's Cinco do Mayo...
Total gridlock on the road...but that just gives you time to "people watch" and that we did...





Drove further north to get away from the crowds and found a place to park and take a walk about.
Just one of the "little waterfront" places...

and then we came across 3 of these guys....two took off but one stayed around to pose...



And this guy further down the road...he had his own yacht...it was an old abandoned boat...I can just image how many of these were on there...

There were lots and lots of resorts along the way....with ......

....great water features to cool off a very very very hot dog!

After a really long drive home....GPS needs updating....we made it back out of the city...and back to the campsite....one day in the city if enough for us.

It's been windy for quite some time....like weeks...this morning it's pretty calm...but they are calling for more wind in the afternoon..... Decided to ride our bikes into St. George and check it out...really small casual little beach city... More white sandy beaches....this time with lots of shells...spent a good hour shell hunting... We saw lots of crab holes in the ground...apparently they are called "ghost crabs" and they only come out at night and they are almost transparent.. I was so excited when I spotted this shell.....but somebody was inside... and this baby crab on the outside!!! They have these really cute "tiny narrow rental homes".... these are the first skinny homes we have seen!! Saw dolphins in the distance for the first time today....super excited....George has to "make me move one" ....because I could stay all day and watch them... Biked out on the fishing bridge....this one goes out qui...

Today is the day....we must leave New York....it`s been great... it`s been expensive....and it`s time to go... Gracie may have wanted to visit this place...but no Dog Spa for her... Today is also the day we will part paths with Brother Joe...we will head West....because we must....he will have another direction...we will miss him....has been a great time travelling with him. It took us almost an hour to wind our way out of Jersey City...it was raining...and I swear Roxanne had us going in circles....there was detour after detour...and some ridiculously narrow streets.....but we made it......we had no idea where we were...the skies were grey and dismal and we just seemed to be going around and around..... And then this crazy horrible sign appeared...WTF....WEST!!! What is that!!!! It wasn`t long before we left the busy streets for rolling hill of trees...it is just so green and so hilly.... I love this one...it`s the first we have ever seen...... ...

It's a pretty fitting day to leave the beach...it's raining....it's still warm...but it's still raining.... Taking a ferry today instead of dealing with the traffic...won't take any time off our trip...but will take the miles off our trip...cost wise...not too sure...but if it can eliminate a few hours on the road in the city...it's worth it. This bird decided to build a nest in the busiest place ever!!! Right at the Ferry Terminal... And all along the way....Dophins.....Yay!! I will never tire of seeing them playing in the water! So before long we are on the New Jersey Turnpike.... which just means .....toll....after toll.....after toll.... and you have no idea which lane you are supposed to be in... Nightmare! Marty!!!.... You will love this....... You know all those American dimes and nickels I was saving.... Finally had a chance to use them.... Oh the look on his face when I gave him $6.00 in dimes and nickels!!! W...
