We had a great time in Key West. It was a long drive but being with people who make you laugh makes it all worth it.
I realize that as my boys get older these trips will become fewer, so this summer I have really taken advantage of all the mini vacation opportunities that have come up.
JO and JC were so good in the car, despite the fact that our dvd player broke as we were pulling out of the driveway. Jo had the backseat all to himself, although I think he got a bit lonely back there. JC sat in the middle next to one of his favorite people “ka-ka” (that’s Jessica). He just loves her to death. My brother, Kevin, rode in the front while I drove.
*A Self-Portrait…Stopping for gas…and you thought gas was expensive by you trying filling up in the keys.)
*Silly boy, making faces at mommy while I was pumping gas.*
*JC with two of his favorite things, his “uh-oh” (what he calls his pacifier) and Jessica.
*mmmmm cheese-its.*
*Are we there yet??!! Took the next few while driving…I know I’m daaangggerous!!!*
*Almost there…..*
*Okay, no more taking pics while driving!!!!*
*We’re Here, YESS!!!!*
*Going to see what all the fuss is about.*
*I couldn’t pass it up!! Lovin’ my cheesy smile (NOT!)*
*That’s my boooat. Said in my best Forrest Gump voice.*
We were all tired after the long drive. After visiting Duval street and grabbing something to eat, we headed back to the hotel. My crazy brother Kevin is always the life of the party. He’ll do anything to make you laugh. Remember this?! (Remind me to tell you stories of when he was younger.)
So, we are driving back to the hotel, in the mini van. Kevin is driving, I am in the passenger seat, Jessica (Kev’s g/f) and JC in the middle, and JO in the back. Kevin decides to be silly and “Holla @ the girls.” I could not stop laughing…in the mini van, with the *mom* bike on the back and here he is slowing down when he sees a girl….”Eh Girl!” with a little tilt of his head. He’s so crazy.*
*We listened to “Free and Easy” by Dierks Bentley via the MAC the entire way back to the hotel, thanks to JO who is totally addicted to this song right now.
*The next day Kevin rented a scooter. JO got to ride on it to the beach. He had a blast. Gosh, he looks so grown!!*
*And the beach…. apparently Key West is not known for their beaches, despite what one local told us. I much prefer the west coast…Longboat Key.
But we still had fun.*
*Catching Rocks*
*Ready, Set, Go*
*I heart his curls.*
Okay, that’s it for now.
Stay tuned for part two coming up soon.
I need to catch up on some proofing.
Please contact me and I can give you my availability.
