Nice Post.  My husband & I used to be what you call "weekend warriors".  We had a small travel trailer in the Seabreeze Trailer Park (Ocean Side on Plantation Key).  I wonder if it is still there?  We were weekend lobster nuts.  There is only one thing we miss about living in Miami - out trailer in the keys for wonderful weekends!
