Spring Break 2013

Spring Break 2013 - FL Keys

We usually have a cool spring break adventure, but this year we wanted more. We said why not the keys. It would be a long drive yet it would be warmer than any other place we could reasonably drive. 

Since we were driving all night, I had to get jacked up on Mountain Dew and sugar. 

Steve is getting all the gear together while I simply enjoy the sun. 

morning runs rock

Now that is a view from a perfect morning run. 

Paddling the boats is always a highlight of the trip. 

We always see so many cool and neat fish and marine life. 

I could stay on my paddle board for hours. 

Steve found a bait fish trap that now has a permanent home on our garage floor. 

I love eating in an open air restaurant. 

Easter Sunday sunrise service on the beach was something I hope to repeat. 

Steven, on the phone, driving the boat, passing orders along to me... 

now that is multitasking. 

Sometimes poling is just too tiring and you have to rest. 

I love doggie cam. Savannah was such a good girl when we were gone.

Serious boat time

Warm, beautiful sunsets never get old...

A beautiful still evening sky. 

Finally I catch fish

More paddling time

I cannot get enough of the sun after being inside all winter

Steve likes his boat too

Steve and Robbies

And he casts and he casts and he casts some more

Then he gets bored and just looks for tarpon

I am beginning to think of this place as a second home. 

I think Steve is too. 

Yet I hear the mountains and Chestatee River calling my name... 

I must go home to them.
