Our first stop was at C.B. Smith park in Broward County. This was a pretty impressive park - especially for a county park in the middle of a city. It had a sprawling lake in the middle of it with lots of little inlets, lots of picnic pavilions, and a water park! Unfortunately the water park was closed until late March, so we didn't get to try it out, but we enjoyed strolling around the rest of the park. We had a site right on the water.
Unfortunately we had a bit of trouble exiting the park and ran over a curb that popped some molding off the bottom of the car...and we didn't realize it until we made it to the next stop. We found the part online and Aaron will have to fix it once we're located somewhere long enough to order the part.
Our second stop was at Torry Island Park in the City of Belle Meade. Again we had a site right on the water.
We liked this park even better - though it didn't have the pavilions and of course no water park, it was pretty remote and there was a decent spacing between the sites. It had a really great 'nature' trail around the central pond and an observation tower that let us see the open agricultural land for miles and miles.
While we were here, we met a couple who had the same basic model RV as ours, just 2 years older. We spent a whole evening talking to them about our experiences in our RVs. Their coach was in much better shape than ours as it had been garage-kept for its entire life. They had done some nice upgrades inside and I felt quite inspired. Aaron was able to help them out with some suggestions to address some of the issues they still wanted to fix. This is the first time a fellow camper has invited us in (and we invited them in to our coach the next day), and we had a great time with them!
