After our very pleasant nearly week-long visit with Carole and Jim and Lexi, we decamped and headed back north, stopping for lunch with Vicki's cousin Carla and her husband George in Port St. Lucie. Vicki's sister Marie, on one of her cruises, had, from aboard ship, espied the Jettypark campground at Cape Canaveral, on the now sizeable cruise-ship port; and that was our planned destination. It's a nice enough city/county campground, a hundred sites perhaps, with all the amenities, and more, tucked in between the port and jetty and a mammoth Holiday Inn vacation complex, but with access to the gorgeous east coast beach. We stayed two nights, not doing much but blogging (me) and researching future travels (Vicki), as well as a walk toward town and another along the beach. These two are documented below.

Clever advertising campaign |

Apart from the beach and fishing pier, watching the big ships pass by is the main activity here |

As with other sights, the population varies inversely with the square of the distance from the parking lot |

Us, there |

It's too bad we missed you. We're in Vero Beach visiting family, traveling in our 1984 VW Campervan. We also have a motorhome stored in Germany. If you get back down closer to Vero Beach, we'd love to meet up!
