The Great Migration to South Beach

Wednesday was not only the day we left to fly south, but also Jayden's 10th Birthday!  He awoke to find a sign on his closet door and he got to make most decisions and be King for the day!
We departed XNA at 10:00 am
Seasoned travelers . . .

Thank you snacks and electronics!  Evan was so funny going through security - he walked really slow and looked all around - like he was fixing to be shocked or something, so funny!
  We got to see John Gyllin at the airport in Orlando- he works really close and came by to say hi!  Our rental car was our exact car that we have at home!!!  It was even brand new - only 35 miles on it!  It was like we just transplanted ourselves in Florida:)!  We drove straight to South Beach Miami for the night . . . Here is King Jayden at a restaurant, beachside in South Beach. . .  
Thursday morning we hit the beach!  The beach was really neat-- lots of shells and sea glass -- I loved combing the beach for the sea glass and the boys loved finding new and different sea life.
It was just beautiful!
Kyler even caught a Miami Frog . . .
 
The grounds were so pretty at the hotel .  There was the beach and then a board walk that went the length of the coast and then the hotel grounds and shops and restaurants . . . very pretty and neat to be able to walk up and down the boardwalk.

The boys also discovered that you could climb over the rail and gather coconuts. . .  I'm not really sure how we will get back with all the coconuts we have been collecting along the way:)!
Just picture perfect isn't it!
