Vacation time!!

Are we ready?
 Yes
 Yes
 Yes
 And out..

 First stop: Beaches of Jupiter, east coast Florida



 Max loves the beach and the water, could not get enough of it

 Even the shower at the beach is fun

A day like that wears a little man out

The next day: the Everglades

 Where are the alligators Maxie?


 Everywhere!




And ofcourse some (according to Max) kak kak's

Then! Of to Key West! Love love love the place!!!
 Listening to the band at Blue Haven


No shoes, no shirt and I still get service...what?!

 Duvall Street

 HAVE to go there: The place is legendary on Key West



 Trying out the Key West look

And out again..

The next day: Mike's Birthday!! This year it's Hemingway themed, listened to 'A moveable feast' on the way up to Key West and today we are visiting:



 Max could not separate himself from the fountain up front since it had his favorite type of entertainment: water

Santiago Sanchez from 'the Old man and the Sea'


Key West has a Hemingway lookalike competition each year and there are fierce competitors as we have seen many man on the island rocking the grey hair and full gray beard.

What better way to spend your Bday at Hemingway's favorite hang out: Sloppy Joe's!





 Key West is full of roosters and chickens running free on the streets; they were brought over from Cuba and (by law) cannot by touched. This is Abigail, who is a he. Max got to pet the tok, tok, tok.

 And lost his pants at the bar, hanging out on Duval Street in a diaper, can't get much cooler than that


Day 3: The resort was wonderfull

 

A ride on the conch train

 which rocked Max to sleep

 The most Southern point of the US. Cuba is only 90! miles away

 Cruising the island by bike


My favorite picture of the entire trip!!!!!



And ending with a dinner on the Roof top terrace

A certain little person touched the camera lens with his dirty fingers, so the pictures of the next day are a little blurry :-)






Bahia Honda State park on Big Pine Key:









See how much Max enjoyed his Cuban dinner:

 Still clean, but downhill from here:







1 fan..

Sorry Max, we have to go, but we will be back for sure, what a wonderful island!!!

A few more days to relax in Kissimmee:



And then we fly home..
