Off we go! Watch the video for all the gory details up till now:


In summary: we took 5 days to get to Florida and stayed in St. Augustine for about a week. We never intended to pop kettle corn in St. Augustine, but we scouted it out to see if it could be a possibility…if or whenever we decide to move or “winter” in Florida. We land in Naples and the story stops here for now.
