Key West!

Michael turned 40 on Nov. 19th so instead of a big party, he opted to take a little adventure with his three favorite girls to Key West! GREAT trip! We drove, which many think we were insane to do, but we really like car trips. It seems to be the one time that we're trapped so we can actually have uninterupted conversations, and since I don't get sick reading in the car I plow thru books. I ended up reading a 200 page book outloud to the fam. "Same Kind of Different As Me". I highly recommend it to the world. It cracked us up, made us cry, challenged our status quo mentality and left us thinking...bottom line, a "good read". We stated at the Key West Westin right in the historic area with a waterfront view of the wharf. Every morning cruise ships came into port and every evening we saw AMAZING sunsets. The kids learned how to snorkel out in the Dry Tortuga's as we soaked up the sun. We spent a day in Palm Beach to body surf, but the rest of the trip was in the keys. Great trip. Our first thanksgiving spent without our extended family, but it was sweet...a trip we're all so very thankful for.
