We rented a car (what a luxury- we haven't driven in 2 months!) and picked up Dana, Chad, and Charlie at the Miami airport. So great to see them, especially little 7 1/2 month old Charlie who is now sitting alone and has the cutest smile!
The Kazaba family stayed at the Hampton Inn Bayside here in Key Largo. Close to our marina too. There was a heated pool and beautiful beach with great sunset views.
Even the manatees stopped by to say hi to Dana, Chad and Charlie.
We encouraged the parents to go out to dinner alone a few nights so we could babysit Charlie.
Enjoyed hanging out at the hotel and facilities there as a respite from the boat. We explored John Pennekamp Park.
Dana and Carol went to water aerobics one morning and Chad and Bob went fishing one afternoon. They caught a bunch of little fish, but nothing worth cleaning and cooking.
Charlie loved the swimming pool and his parents enjoyed playing with him and watching him kick.
We did a lot of eating- sushi, stone crab claws at the local fishery, extra hot pepper-infused burgers at Category III, hogfish, key lime pie. This was our first sushi boat,,,

Visit was too short of course! Glad the kids could thaw out down here for awhile!
The weather turned and we got the cold front that blasted in. Had our lowest temp overnight in Florida of 45 degrees! Fortunately the cold snap was short lived - back to warm weather now.
Back to boat chores!
Did go to a big event here in the Keys- the annual Nautical Flea Market in Islamorada. Caught a ride with some new friends, Connie and Mike. They live here in Key Largo and just bought a 35 ft Island Packet and hope to start cruising soon.
