We do the same thing every year. Bruce gets disgruntled with the cold so he piles everything, including me, into the car and starts driving south. It predictably gets warmer and warmer until somewhere in Georgia, long after we have run out of snow, we store the winter coats and heavy woolens remotely in the trunk. In mid-Florida hardy northerners can start wearing shorts and in Miami it's time for AC, sun block and mosquito repellent. South of Miami we get ourselves installed in the Quality Inn, eat some mediocre barbecue, and get a peaceful night's sleep with the AC on. The next morning we just can't wait to get to Robert Is Here for our Key Lime Milk Shake to take into the park. We will be taking our final sips while we watch the alligators.
The story of Robert Moehling, the little kid who started Robert Is Here over 50 years ago is rather extraordinary. His father was a farmer from the Chicago area who migrated down to southern Florida in the 50's. It was a struggle and it still is to succeed. To learn more about
