Jan 26, 2014  We are enroute to visit our son-in-law,Chris, NINETY-NINE year old grandmother in Land O’ Lakes , Florida.  But first priority we need to find a campground for the night.

David and I love Florida State Parks. We have camped at many and have NOTHING bad to say about any that we have visited.

We get lucky, again.  The Ranger at Little Manatee River State Park, was awesome.  When we called the campground, not the reservation line, he said he had two sites available for “drive ins”.  Rarely will park personnel hold a site for you.  He said he’d hold one for us. We were able to have a fantastic lunch and visit with Nanny and then head to the park.  I’m convinced that Nanny is 99 and still going strong because of her upbeat, positive attitude. I don’t thing I’ve ever heard her complain.

Before dinner, we have time for a walk on the nature trail.  We would have liked to have rented a canoe and explored the river, but we have reservations at Everglades National Park.
