Cudjoe Key

After Sarah moved to Virginia a few years ago, we made an effort to coordinate our trips back home to Michigan. But, with two of us already traveling, we started to think: why not have all of us travel, and we can go somewhere else for a change? Enter the destination family vacation! Our first trip was to Boulder, Colorado two years ago. We had a blast and decided to continue the tradition, this time with a trip to the Florida Keys. Like Boulder, none of us had ever been there. Also, like Boulder, we had a great time! The one downside to our trip was that my brother, Patrick, and sister-in-law, Cyndi, couldn't make it. I was especially missing them the night we went out for Cinco de Mayo. Cyndi is really fun to go dancing with:)

As I looked back on our photos to decide which ones to post, I realized that most of them were of Marley and Amelia.  Hmm...kinda like all of our pictures anymore.  Ah well, at least some of them feature other people, too. 

Marley and Lilyana share a pretzel

It was hard getting these two to sit still for a picture together

Alicia and Sarah head out in the kayaks that came with our rental house

We spent lots of time in the swimming pool

How is it that Matt looks so cool in his kayak?

Jeff even took Marley out a couple of times
