We went to Islamorada in the Florida Keys for our vacation this year. We had such a great time! It was absolutely beautiful! The kids were excited to be on the road!
You can imagine how easy it was to brush out Chloe's hair when we got there...
We got really lucky when we got there. Our room had just been completely remodeled with all new everything. It was awesome!
The kids didn't waste any time getting on their snorkeling gear.
The kids absolutely loved the trampoline in the water. I bet they jumped off and climbed back up at least 50 times a day.
Daddy thought he was catching some big air here. Truth is that he barely made it over the lip of the trampoline.
Chloe showed him how it is done
This was the second day that we were there. We were waiting on Chloe - shocker!
We went to Robbie's and fed the tarpon. It was so cool! We ended up going back there two more times before we left!

The water was gorgeous!
Daddy was fishing from under a bridge. The kids weren't exactly feeling it so we decided to take some selfies. Smile!
Silly faces
Angry faces
Daddy and Parker fishing
The third day we were there, we rented a boat. We went snorkeling about 3 miles off shore. It was unbelievable! We snorkeled over coral reefs and saw all kinds of beautiful coral and tropical fish! We were going to go to another spot, but Mommy's dramamine didn't do its job so well...
Instead, we found a sandbar and spent some time on land until I recovered. We found a lot of coral and shells and were still able to snorkel and see some cool stuff!
After that, we found a still place to do some fishing. We caught several smaller fish. Chloe caught a smaller fish and as she was reeling it in got something else that wanted to eat it. We are pretty sure that it was a shark, and it took every last inch of line off our pole. We saw a 7 or 8 foot shark under our boat and a huge tarpon. Blake got the tarpon to bite, but it immediately broke our line so that was both exciting and disappointing at the same time.
The last day we were there, Parker wanted to go back and use some of his money to feed the tarpon again. He wasn't even paying attention when this one hit!
This is a close up of what was going on in the picture when Parker was looking in the complete opposite direction.
Gonna miss the beautiful water, but it was a good feeling going back home to palm trees and water all around!!
