Driving Through Florida Pictures

October 5, 2023

Our trip through Florida started in the panhandle in December 2022. From Destin to Tallahassee and then south along the Gulf Coast. We had planned to reach Fort Myers for Christmas and then the Everglades after, but Hurricane Ian caused our plans to change and we left from the Tampa area and went straight to Florida City (south of Miami) to arrive just before Christmas. Instead of having Christmas in Fort Myers with family, we went to the Florida Keys instead (not bad!). We spent all of January and the first week of February in Florida City before heading up the East Coast.
