Rob and I got to celebrate our 15th anniversary by going on a Caribbean cruise. Grandma and Grandpa Krepps came and watched the boys for us, and we are so grateful! We took a red eye out to Miami and arrived early Friday morning. We thought it would be good to get in a day early, just in case anything happened with our flight. We didn't want anything make us miss the cruise. We arranged to pick up our rental car at the airport. We had planned to drive to the Florida Keys and Rob wanted a convertible to enjoy the drive. When we got there they informed us that the car wouldn't be ready for another hour. They apologized and said that if we wanted they would upgrade us to a camaro super sport instead, free of charge. Of course we said yes! Rob has wanted to get a camaro for years and was in heaven driving that car. It was the fastest car either of us have ever driven. Let's just say that Rob had a little too much fun in that car and he wants one even more now.
We drove to Key Largo and stopped at John Pennekamp State Park. We rented a kayak and they gave us a map of the mangroves to navigate us through. Rob got our snorkel gear out in a couple of places and found huge lobster...
and a horseshoe crab. It looked like some prehistoric creature.
After our day in Key Largo we took our car back to the airport and caught a city bus to South Beach. We stayed at a nice little hotel that was just a block from the beach. The next morning went to to check out South Beach.
I loved all the cute fences that line the path to the beach.
The beach was beautiful. The water was much clearer and warmer than pacific.
We didn't have much time, but were able to take a nice walk down the beach. We did find out why south beach was popular though. We had no idea that tops were optional on South Beach! Yikes! As we were walking we noticed some dark clouds not too far off, and were hoping that they weren't coming our way. We took a taxi to the cruise terminal and got their pretty quick. As we were waiting to board the ship it started pouring down rain. So much for a cute bon voyage picture on the boat, the best we got was in the tunnel on our way in.
We spent the rest of the afternoon exploring the ship. I think that night we were more excited for dessert than dinner. The chocolate melting cake was as good as we remembered. After dinner we went and saw a motown show. Rob's favorite. Hahaha.
