rent a car madness

or just a five days vacation with no plan

loved our time away

had a lot of relaxing, naps, reading, sunning and randomness

We went into this vacation with nothing really planned

Just two nights at a hotel in West Palm

and two nights in Key Largo

from there we were FREE

so this is what we came up with: picture version

Day one at night in Singer Island [Thanks to KP for the tip!]

First sighting of the beach

toes in the ocean

Yummy dinner with this man

After dinner relaxing

Day two exploring Palm beach

and again. Bliss.  another beautiful beach. never gets old

and shopping

bah not here. purely window shopping :) 

Tiffany. Escada. Parada

with the cars parked being Bentley. Mercedes. BMW. Volvo. and list goes on 

Our zoom zoom Mazda was out of place

Then we drove around and saw 50 million dollar homes for sale

so much fun to see

Ever good vacation needs a stop at a walmart 

Day three drive down to Key Largo

about 2.5 hours away

arrived at the Hampton aka great breakfast

First stop the pool and sun

Later that afternoon we headed to John Pennekamp State park to explore

found a few walking trails

Then a little sunset watching

and dinner out at the Tower of Pizza.  Delicious! [good recommendation by the parents!]

 Day 4 Started with a drive down the Keys...all the way to Marathon

Loved this sign: Catch you later.

Must have said it 20 times in the car

A stop at the bass pro shop

someone continue to work and sight see at the same time 

back to the beach for more reading and sun

Then off to our snorkeling adventure 

Here are our versions of snorkeling

J in the water

K on the boat

I did go about 15 minutes and then the fish were to too close and I had had enough

[Made it longer than I thought I would.  Did I mention I do not like animals and fish are animals haha]

and we wrapped up our night at Mrs. Macs

again recommended by the parents

and again delicious!

and random pictures to add in of animals we discovered

Iguanas EVERYWHERE around our hotel

Huge!  6 at a time at one point

and two manatees right off our beach

mommy and baby

and there you have it

our first anniversary vacation is a wrap

super fun time away and not super excited to be back away from the 90 degree to the possible snow, but that is life :)
