The week ahead: Near Vero Beach, Jan. 7-10, 2013

A quiet week here on the east coast of Florida. However, that does not mean there is nothing to do here. The weather is just right for taking a walk on the beach (with a sweater of course) or having a picnic lunch at one of the many parks in the area. Both residents and visitors can enjoy sunset tours of the Jupiter Lighthouse or learn about World War II first hand from an USNR Captain.
