Hello all!!! this one is for

We are going to be at DVB at the same time, but different arrival / departure days....would you like to do a "meet"? what about at the beach sunset time, 6:00pm ish? Let me know it would be very interesting, we are going to be 11 disers celebrating Mother's Day!!!!: nothing complicated just casual laughs and hugs.

​

and sending this question again, if there is any law enforcement among us let me know and we can exchange station tshirts, many blessings to all.

We are currently experiencing our first vacation at DVB and loving it. Just had lunch at Mulligans and taking a stroll before heading back to the resort.

Thanks for all the help and advice!

Part way through our stroll and I have to suggest Vero Beach Winery for tasting and buying. The Key Limen is great and so is the Black Gold (dry and semi-sweet).

We will be there with a party 8. 5 of us in a 2 bedroom and another 3 in an inn room. We are celebrating my in-laws 65th anniversary with exteneded family. We are having a special dinner celebration on Saturday night. What night did you have in mind?

I think Saturday is when all of us are going to be there...are you going to the beach/pool earlier? because we can meet earlier, like at 4p...

celebrating our first trip to Vero ever may 12th to 19th and really looking forward to it, Great tips so far here on the board. I had no idea there was a winery there either, just might have to do the tour.

I am so glad you said something about this! We love our local wineries in MD & I had jsut looked this place up on line a few days ago & was wondering about it. How far from theVB resort is it?

Please add me to the roll call for 6/24 - 6/29. We have visited 5 times; this will be our 6th.

Can't recommend Round Island Park enough. We just left and enjoyed the quiet as well as the manatees. Oh yeah, bring bug spray. I'm itching like crazy

It's about a 12 minute drive south on A1A. The shopping area is worth the drive even if you don't go to Mulligans for a meal. Parking is free.

We are here now and looking for a place to pick up some souvenirs for our boys. Any suggestions?

You're right along the Treasure Coast, & the above museum is interesting & has a gift shop.

I'm very interested on manatees & there's a nature center with a gift shop that's a longer distance away in Ft. Pierce.

However, the closest nature place is Environmental learning center, that also has a nice gift shop.

We've done a nice boat trip through that one.

Hey!! Saturday the 12th? Sounds like a great idea. We aren't staying on site this time, but only takes a couple minutes for us to get there. 6 pm? Where at the resort would you all like to meet? We are at the BWV right now, will be heading down to VB on Saturday the 5th.

My first Vero Beach vacation starts in just three days! Very excited- and checking the weather a lot. The Weather Channel and AccuWeather are giving me two different forecasts and I'm hoping AccuWeather is the correct one!

I plan to do a lot of relaxing around the pool and on the beach, but I'm also packing in a lot of activity. I'm heading to Sebastian Inlet State Park and Pelican Island Wildlife Refuge for some wildlife-spotting (along with the McLarty Treasure Museum) on Friday. I've got a spot reserved in a morning kayak tour of the Indian River Lagoon on Saturday, and will visit the McKee Botanical Gardens that afternoon. On Sunday, I'm spending the entire day with my aunt in Fort Pierce. We're planning to visit the Manatee Observation Center after church. On Monday, I will be at the Kennedy Space Center all day. I'm doing the Up-Close Tour and Lunch with an Astronaut while I'm there. Tuesday is my last day and I'm just planning a leisurely drive to Orlando with stops along the way. I'm thinking about stopping in Melbourne for Cuban food for lunch that day and buying extra for dinner. I'd rather have authentic Cuban food than airport food!

Aside from one dinner ADR at Shutters, the kayak tour, the KSC day and the day with my aunt, I'm playing the whole thing pretty much by ear. I need some down time, so hanging out with a book and a beverage may end up taking up a lot of my time.

Mel Fisher Museum or McLarty. Hope they are still in business.

Wow, Jenna, You are ready to go. Work on that down time. VB is perfect for down time. Hope the weather is fantastic for you. Have a great time!
