When we knew we were visiting the Keys, I had to find the best beach for us to do some snorkeling. Bahia Honda State Park boasts one of the best beaches in the country; and has miles of sandy beach (don't be shy with the sea wall) and teal blue water for miles. Josh and I only had 4 days in the Keys, so we spent every minute doing something fun; and one whole day was dedicated to swimming and hiking in two of the Keys State Parks located near to our resort. After spending the morning and afternoon nature viewing and hiking in Long Key State Park, we were eager to cool off with a swim and we drove the 30 miles (which takes 45 minutes on the 2 lane road) to Bahia Honda State Park.
I started my website www.hip-threads.com in 2004 to sell my handmade clothing and accessories online. Since that time, I have started this blog to document my creative journey coupled with all the on goings in my life.

Road Trip: Bahia Honda State Park, Florida Keys, Marathon

Our new camper, Miss Chalet
We bought a camper today ~ we have been looking for about a year for a small, reasonably priced, camper that we could tow up mountains in Colorado. I love tent camping, and don't plan on stopping anytime soon; but we can't camp in the winter and sometimes it's nice to be off the ground and out of the rain. The Chalet is hard sided and foldes up into an A-Frame; it has a double bed on one side and twin bed that converts to a kitchen table and seats. There is also a propane stove and sink; plus, the best part is a small portable potty! The potty wasn't a necessity, but it sure will be nice to not run outside and pee in the woods; in the middle of the cold Colorado nights. Twice, I have had coyotes around me when going to the bathroom outside and that was pretty scary! A potty will sure be a step up in the world! Plus, I am a little worried about having kiddos in a tent, and I don't want to give up camping when we have a baby; or when I am pregant. We are excited to take it out this weekend; after the farmers market on Saturday.
Here are some more pics of our Chalet.
I will recover the cushins right away, and we already started painting over the crappy wall paper.
This is the double bed/couch. I will again re-finish the cushions.
Inside, its pretty sunny, but bad curtains and stove and sink
