Northern Florida to the St. John's River

From April 7 to 19, we continued up the east coast of FL with stops at Jensen Beach, Vero Beach, Melbourne, Titusville, New Smyrna Beach, Palm Coast, St. Augustine and Palm Cove.  We entered the St. John's River for a 180 mile detour up the river (to the south) to see the amazing wildlife.
