Started out a little worried about taking family vacation during Covid, but pur family really needed an escape from the everyday.... Blue moon was a perfect solution, semi-isolated yet four minutes from the town. Felt like we were in our own garden park among the forest lined property. We had breakfast and coffee outside and several lunches on the patio near the pool. Most importantly, the veranda was bright and clean and well stocked for a mom who normally packs the whole house. Be sure to eat at Nauti Jon's, Backwater Fins and get pizza and Chinese from in the Publix plaza. Despite not being able to meet, Cyndi was a pleasure to speak to and we hope to meet her next time and maybe even hit that tea cafe in Crystal River with her during our next trip. We loved looking at the tourist shops along that strip as well . The area thrift stores and the Angel Shrimp from Backwater Fins are alone enough of a reason to come back up for a day trip from Tampa Area. Lastly, I really forgot how beautiful and refreshing Rainbow River Springs is, we went twice and had a picnic there as well. Thank you for the vacation memories, hope to come back soon. - Milisa
