Spring Break

We traveled to Florida for Spring Break this year. Our close friends have a condo just blocks from the beach and invited us down....we couldn't pass that up!! :) We had such a wonderful time soaking up the sun and experiencing what southern Florida has to offer.


I'm pretty sure the Davidson clan were the most pale people on the beach!!!!











5 kids buried in the sand


Going out for dinner the night of Stella's birthday






Tuesday we headed to Miami Seaquarium


Touching sting rays


One of the dolphin shows






Stella being eaten by an alligator!!!!!!!!!!!



Oh no, now the alligator has Mike!!!!!!!!!!!!


Killer Whale show



The following day we headed north to Ft. Lauderdale for a "jungle cruise" (no jungle was involved! LOL!). We did see some gorgeous homes. Mike and I decided to go ahead and purchase this small gem. I think it should be large enough for our family.


The boat we were on was a double decker and Stella and Berlin were so funny during the cruise. We were all on the lower level and the insisted on having their "alone" time and being on the top level! So funny! They thought they were so gornw up!


Once the boat got to the "jungle" there was an alligator show. It freaked Stella out and she and I had to leave the show, but I did snap a photo of the guy putting his hand in the alligators mouth.




The captain of the boat told us all about the mansions and yachts we were boating passed. We saw Steven Speilbergs yacht (the largest privately owned in the world), Tiger Woods' yacht (actually now it's his exwife's yacht!). As we were pulling back into the harbor I noticed this one yacht named "My Three Girls" (this is the best pic I could get), I thought maybe my Dad would be interested in buying this!!! LOL!

Eva fell asleep on the cruise ride back to the port.



Grabbing a bite to eat and drink.



Thursday morning Mike and Jeff took Stella, Porter, Berlin and Eric on a deep sea fishing excursion. It was a 4 hour tour and sounds like it was pretty rocky. P ended up puking, Stella and Berlin did not feel well at all. Even Jeff and Mike were getting nauseous. They all came around and ended up catching something.





Last day on the beach!





P found this as we were leaving the beach and insisted on a photo. :)
