All you can hear are the cars braking – Oh! and some clueless DJ over-cranking the tunes. The Sounds of Silence are not an option in Miami…

Miami to Orlando and Back Again

We discovered Conchy Joe‘s quite by accident but have made it the stop for lunch in each direction. It sits on the Indian River inland waterway and is Old Florida charm in its best. Plus the salmon is incredible…blackened with some sweet plantains in mango sauce…Seriously mouthwateringly good!

Beautiful day in Orlando for a walk to the lake.

We wandered over to Cocoa inland waterway area and found this pleasant Irish Pub to have a meal.

A very calm Atlantic for sunrise in October. There is not much better of a way to start the morning than riding the elevator to the beach with some fresh brewed coffee.

This Chapungu sculpture was one of my favorites when it was at the Denver Botanic Gardens. These Zimbabwe Stone Sculptures are quite magnificent. There is a permanent home to some of them in Loveland, Colorado at the Chapungu Sculpture Park.

followed by an awesome meal…
A few nights in Key Largo - perfect weather, our feet in the sand, watching the sunset. A night that dreams are made of!

Florida Delights

Sun Rise over the Atlantic at Bal Harbour from the Lido Deck (ie – condo pool)

Family time in Florida March 27- April 4. Waves lapping on the beach, wind in the palms, moonlight over Miami, Cuban pork marinated in mojitos, Argentinian steak, Paella, Vino Tinto on the balcony, having the pool to yourself in the morning for some lap swims, an awesome classical concert at the New World symphony and the following events…

Across the inland waterway from Haulover Beach
In front of the Key Biscayne tennis grand stadium listening to the cheers
Watching the Sony Ericsson Open grand court match on the big screen
Catching up with Roger Federer after the match
Ready for the women’s doubles action to begin
We enjoyed two matches – the second pair went on to win the tournament!
The ride we wanted to motor…but caught a match winning tennis ball instead.

 

Party?! Cabanas?! Florida?! We’re there!

The master mind reflecting the good things in life

Family reunion in the cabanas at the Fountainebleau – what a brilliant idea! Was an awesome day, great conversations, food, kids, drinks, water, bikinis, drinks, hot tub…

View from room balcony of beach, pool and cabanas
As much of the family as we could get together at one time
You are so ON candid camera
Pass me another cold one

The Girls
The man behind the shades - Hey Cousin: Thanks for a great day!
