Key West

Last week was Michael's spring break so his parents and nephews came for the week and we all went down to Key West for a couple days and had so much fun.
feeding the tarpons
One of the first Islands in the Keys is called Islamorada. A friend told me about a place called Robbie's that lets you feed Tarpons. The kids loved it.

Our hotel, Waldorf Astoria at Casa Marina Resort, it was very nice!

hammocks
The hotel had its own private beach. We all enjoyed the hammocks under the palm trees.

beanbags
The boys had so much fun trying to throw the beanbags through a hole.

pouty girl
My poor girl had a fever the whole time we were in the Keys, she told us she wasn't sick, but it was obvious she didn't feel well.

The water is so pretty!

Proof that I was there. Sorry you can't see my pregnant belly, for some reason Michael cut it off in the picture.

Great pictures. Looks so fun. I wish you could of gotten a picture of the Tarpons. What a trooper Olivia was. She's tough for not feeling good and making the best of it. And you look good from what I could see.

looks super fun and relaxing....I love the last pic of the kids with their arms on each other..... so precious... and you look beautiful as always!!! Funny how we have to document ourselves being on all the fun trips, just so our kids don't grow up to think daddy was the fun one cause he's in all the pictures :) We have that same situation!!!

Hi Cordie,
I just wanted to let you know that I FINALLY tried your cheeseburger soup that I saw on your recipe blog a long while back, and it was DELISH! Thank so much for sharing that!
Hope all is going well for you guys in Florida (sure looks like it is), and congrats to you and Michael on your new addition!

I'm from Florida and never been to the keys. It's a shame.
