Trent and I feel so lucky, we just got back from one of the best vacations ever. There are a lot of components that factor into what makes a vacation a "great vacation". I think the biggest factor in making this such an amazing vacation was the fact that we went from hellish winter in Erie, PA to perfect, sunny, beautiful southern Florida. I think that fact also contributed to why I experienced such a feeling ecstasy laying in the warm sand on the most beautiful beach in the continental U.S. Because this blog doubles as a photo album for us, be warned there are a lot of pictures.
Here I am getting fried on our way out deep sea fishing
Trent and I on a bridge overlooking the Fort Lauderdale canals
On Fort Lauderdale Beach
Eating on the Boardwalks
Our hotel in Islamarada-central Keys in the Florida Keys
Driving down to Key West from Key Largo-breathtaking views, seriously
Trent on the airboat tour in the Florida Everglades
Trent and I in the Everglades-creepiest place that is somehow still beautiful
The beautiful canal streets leaving Fort Lauderdale and Miami-where Shaquille O'Neal has a place
Trent with the King Mackerel-we ate that fish a hour later at a trailer restaurant down in Islamarada-it was incredible
Key West
Trent and I going out snorkeling in Key West
Snorkeling-35 minutes later I was throwing up in this water with fish swarming around me eating my upchuck-At least the Barracuda's didn't bite-I'm not kidding. Shouldn't have swallowed so much sea water.
Just off the reef, Trent had just finished throwing up in this picture-same problem, we swallowed too much salt water. Thanks so much to my wonderful Mother-in-law for watching our kids for us and only knocking one hole in the wall.
