On Top of Ol’ Hobe

Florida, Road Trip, States

We headed south on US-1 hoping to connect with a friend of Steve’s from high school days. Didn’t make the connection but did discover Jonathan Dickinson State Park near Hobe Sound. We climbed the observation tower atop Hobe Mountain which at 86 feet elevation is the highest point in Florida south of Lake Okeechobee. It was a glorious, on top of the world, kind of feeling. We explored the park a bit, reveling in the Old Florida feel. Fron there we headed north along US-1 and A1A and landed at the campground in Wickham Park in Melbourne as recommended by folks we met in the Everglades. For dinner shared the Guinness Beef Pie at Meg O’Malley’s in downtown. Just a little slice of heaven. We bookmarked it on Yelp!

Winter Magic in Medina

Winter Magic in Medina

By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!

Savoy at Sea 2025

The warmth we anticipated when we headed to the Caribbean in mid-January didn’t really materialize but the fun we had with our dancing friends and the great crew of the Margaritaville at Sea Islander more than made up for the not so favorable weather.
