The Cedar Key Trip


We’ve hit the ground running since coming back from Cedar Key.  It’s been a busy week with work and school, but when I come home and see our beautiful trailer parked in the yard…I can’t help but smile and daydream about our future travels.

It was a wonderful first trip and a great learning experience.

We really learned a lot about the trailer, hooking up, packing up, backing it into a space, hitching the truck, connecting everything and emptying and flushing tanks, etc. etc. We came back with a list of items to research, purchase and some warranty issues that need to be addressed – mainly, the Air Conditioning!  A few days into the trip the unit could not keep up. We made the best of it by running a fan and going to town during the hottest parts of the day, but we are definitely going to have it fixed soon!  We took it in stride, though. We know these first few trips are going to be all about learning.

Low Key Hideaway was the perfect place to make this trip.  We had an amazing time.

As I mentioned in a previous post, Pat and Cindy Bonish are wonderful people and have been a great source of inspiration.  This trip gave us the opportunity to get to know them better and talk to them. They made us feel like family.  Here is one of my favorite pictures from this trip – our trailer next to theirs—the one that they used to travel the country full-time for four years. It’s neat to think about all of the amazing places they’ve had the opportunity to call “home” because of that trailer.



Cedar Key never disappoints.  We had the chance to experience some amazing sunsets and wildlife, and the most beautiful starry night sky I have ever seen.  You know it’s a good vacation when daily(sometimes more than once a day) we found ourselves telling each other how blessed we felt to be there.  Nature has a way of really reminding us that life does not need to be as complicated as we make it sometimes.

Here are some photos from the trip:






Now to plan the next adventure!  Likely we will plan our next trip for December.
