At the beach, Florida Keys, Miami Beach


Jenn came to visit so we took the kids to the beach at Ft. Pierce. Yes it was very windy, but it was a beautiful day.

Jenn with Claire posing at the beach. Claire's first beach experience.


Grandpa and Dean walking along the jetty (where the Indian River flows into the Atlantic.




Koby wanted his picture taken too! He's our cute 6 year old grandson.




Tessa posing with Claire. Tessa was getting hungry and Claire's arm was really close!






We took Jenn & Claire down to West Palm Beach and headed south to the Florida Keys for a few days. This is a picture of the ocean from the dock at the hotel where we stayed.






The is an osprey nest on our dock at the hotel we stayed in on Islamorada.








This is a picture of our hotel from the beach. It was just a cute little hotel with 24 rooms. Very quiet and laid back.









Sunset from our room. Very tropical!!!










This is part of the road from Islamorada out to Key West. Lots of bridges and narrow keys.










This is one of the mansions on Key West. Key West is the "party key," very busy and bigger town atmosphere. Fun to visit, but we liked the smaller keys better for staying on.











This house was the southernmost house in the United States until the built the house behind it one foot back! It's a beautiful home.












This was the shot Howard wanted when we went to Key West. WE MADE IT!!!!!!













Jump to Miami Beach -- South Beach -- Ocean Drive. The art deco was on our left and the beach was on our right and the college kids on spring break were all over the roads! We didn't stay in Miami -- too big!! But seeing Miami Beach was cool.

It looks like you had so much fun in the Keys-- we definitely need to do that next time I come to FL. I had so much fun and miss you guys and the warm, beautiful weather so much already!! The kids are anxious for Grandma and Grandpa to head north though!! Love you!!
