After John saw Jody and Rick off at 4 a.m. to catch a plane for their white party in Sacramento, he went to the laundromat to do some laundry and by 8 a.m. we were ready to untie the lines. There were teeny frogs the size of my thumb nail on the deck and on the lines, so I had to be careful. They were really cute. We were back on the ICW again and this time it was a beautiful day! Dolphins were everywhere, the sun was out, the water calm and we had a lovely cruise and an easy docking at Vero Beach Marina. Vero Beach is much fancier than the places we’ve been to up to this point.
After a zippy lunch at the Lemon Tree, we wanted to see manatees so we drove 30 minutes to the Manatee Observation Center, but we were disappointed... no manatees present :/. So on the way home we stopped at the Vero Beach Art Museum. There was a Maurice Sendak exhibition, so we got to relive a little childhood memories, both ours and reading to our kids with Max and the Wild Things along with ‘sipping once, sipping twice, sipping chicken soup with rice! (I loved that book when I was little).
