Mom got a wild idea that we needed to get away for the Fourth of July. So she found a last minute cruise deal from Fort Lauderdale to Key West and Cozumel - and off we went. We really enjoyed the beach at Fort Lauderdale. We flew in the day before the cruise sailed and stayed 2 blocks from the beach. The water was clear and shallow enough for the girls to enjoy. Then we got on the boat and set sail for Key West.
Key West was HOT - and humid. Well, it was July after all. We took the trolley tour, saw the aquarium there, and visited the shipwreck museum. The girls were troopers and had fun at the huge sponge statue and with the totem pole at the restaurant we ate at.
Beach day at Cozumel. We did not pick the best beach (and of course, we didn't figure this out until we were headed back to the ship). Fortunately, the girls didn't mind the sludgy water or shallow sand strip. I love kids - give them a pile of sand and they're happy.
Family picture on the ship. The girls loved the kids club on RC and even sang a group pirate song to all the diners in the restaurant one night. It was so cute, something like: Everwhere we go, people want to know, why we're so short, so we tell them, we are the pirates... Aarrghh!

So cute! It almost makes me feel brave enough to take Ezra on a cruise. . . . some day we would love to go as a family. I love your family and how you get out and do so many fun things together! Ya know what they say, the family that plays together, stays together!
