Relax Momma, you're in the Keys!

The Weekend Warriors from the cruise ships have taken over Key West.

And yet, even with all the business from the tourists, you still can't 'will' something to happen quickly.

The island motto is obviously, "relax, things will get done", or something annoyingly along those lines.

Why am I not sympatico with the islanders? Probably because I'm walking down Duval Street, with my three daughters, in the middle of the day when the temperatures are cranked to 102 and there are hundreds of partially clothed, inebriated adults, belting out expletives.

Yup! At the moment, my 'relaxed-attitude' has escaped me.

End of the Road


Key West, FL
Something to be said about driving to the end of Route 1. Everyone is sipp'n and chill'n.

Daddy on Board

We are eating three meals a day, our sleep schedule has improved and there is way too much PLANNING!

In other words, we are back in a ROUTINE!

Yikes!

Before this new dynamic takes over our trip, we are hitting the road again.

We are packing the car and driving to the southern most point of the US.

Key West, Florida!

Momma, Who?

At the airport to pick up daddy...

It was similiar to a "Hallmark Moment' to see him again after three weeks.

The good thing is we are all back together.

The great thing is; the kids and daddy are off exploring the island while I rest in peace and tranquility!

Silence...something I missed!

Jet Blue: Newark to Fort Meyers

The kids are getting homesick but wanted to continue creating more adventures.

So we rethought our plan and decided to invite the Dads to join us!

Our group is changing and so are our destinations.

As a group, we are going to split up but our travels will continue.

Our friends will head west and we will continue South to the Keys!

It's a plan that feels good and everyone is happy, even the Dads.

The roadtrip inpired us. We traveled over 1000 miles and many hours to get where we are. For three weeks, we had a great time creating memories that will be with us forever.

It was a good ride....!

Onward!

"I Miss Daddy!"

I didn't calculate this issue to come up in our travels.

But then again, this is the longest time (three weeks) we have been away from one another.

The kids are missing Dad terribly.

They are sad, (only at night).

During the day, it's seems to be a non-issue.

It's not enough that we all talk each day, sometimes several times a day.

Time for a new plan!
