Thanksgiving Recap





Tristan & I spent Thanksgiving in Florida! We flew to Orlando and visited old friends, and then treked down to the Keys, Everglades, Miami, & Fort Lauderdale for a few days of sightseeing, beach time, & seafood consumption! We had a great time with Ellisa & Erich, Jaime & Paola, and Josie & Kevin (friends/co-workers from FL). I even stopped by my old stomping grounds at Hewitt for a short visit (what a completely strange experience...I didn't know hardly anyone!) Highlights of our trip included:
- Parasailing!! We parasailed in Key West! What a blast!!
- Sitting on the Beach in Miami & Fort Lauderdale!! Beautiful & Peaceful!
- Seafood & Key Lime Pie!! We love crab cakes & grouper & mahi mahi! Topped off with a trip to Grills in Port Canaveral - our favorite Florida seafood restaurant! And of course, fantastic key lime pie.
- Fort Lauderdale Boat Cruise! Great way to see the ridiculously huge homes of famous people with way too much money. Wayne Hyzinga (owner of the Miami Dolphins) has a 28,000 square foot mansion on the waterway.
- Driving through the Keys! Tristan's always wanted to do this. We determined we would definitely go back to Key West! It's a watersports lover's paradise!
- Disney's Blizzard Beach!! Fun times at the waterpark! We rode Summit Plummet (a 12 story waterslide....)
