Florida Trip

Too much to say about our trip to Miami and the Florida Keys.  It was really fun.  Something we have never done before.  We took our nephew,  Sam, along with us to entertain Gavin.  It was nice to have another "child" to have fun with Gavin at the pool and beach.  Our first day we drove down to Islamorada.  Shane, Gavin and Sam got up the next morning and went fishing with a guide, Tony.  They caught lots of fish and Gavin caught a Lemon Shark.  The weather was great, although there was too much humidity.  Sunny skies and beautiful water.  There is a marina called Robbie's that we stopped at to feed the tarpon.  They ate right out of your hands. We drove down to Key West. We went snorkeling in the Gulf of Mexico and saw tons of sting rays, a nurse shock, and awesome fish.  We ate lots of great food from Cuban, Haitian and fresh fish.  We tried something new every meal.  We drove back up to Miami the last couple days and took an Everglades tour.  There was a baby alligator that came up to the shore.  We took a walk to South Beach and went swimming in the warm water with no waves.  Different than we are used to from California.  Can't wait for our next adventure!
