Florida picture overload

Caleb and I were in need of a vacation, so we took a week off and used the exchange program from Vacation Internationale and went to Florida. Still the best purchase ever!

We stayed at Vacation Village in Weston. Weston has the highest median income in Florida, at a whooping $83,000. Crazy huh? It is a very nice city and a great location.

This resort was one of the nicer places we've stayed. We might go back again next year.

Dining/living room.

Amazing pool.

Full kitchen

Bathroom

We are big fans of vacationing. =)

This is for my friend Tiff. Our little ode to Cokes. ;)

In our restaurant guide there was this delicious place called the Ice Cream Club of Weston. It said that you get a free scoop on your birthday so that was the first place we went after we arrived at the resort so Caleb could get his free scoop.

Here we are at the beach in Ft Lauderdale.

Adam and Cara let us take their GPS and every time we were going towards Ft. Lauderdale it would say "Feet Lauderdale"

This looks like one of those Corona ads.

I love Florida.

I told Caleb to go play in the water so I could take a picture...

Me chillin' on the beach.

We went home, got cleaned up, and went to a comedy club.

The comedians were hilarious. Caleb cried a few times.

Later Caleb asked if I knew where his phone was... while it was in his hand. hahaha

They were giving away free snow cones at the pool. I had a red and Caleb had a blue one,

then he said, "let's go upstairs and make a purple baby." We both laughed so hard we cried.

We spent most of the day at our own pool it was that awesome.

Then we headed over to the golf course.

Clearly neither of us actually golf...

So we just took lots of pictures.

Happy Gilmore style

My idea...

Caleb's idea...

The Everglades were right across the freeway from us. We took an airboat ride to see some alligators.

then went down to the pool again.

We had to stop by Ron Jon Surf Shop to pick up the perfect gift for Leecy.

Try and imagine that you’re from Atlanta and you have to fly to Utah for a business trip. While on the trip, you go to the opening day of “Singles Ward” the movie in Provo. Well, that’s pretty much what happened to us in Florida. Caleb and I went to “The Help” on opening day in Fort Lauderdale. There were 5 other white people there and we weren’t quite sure if could/should laugh at all the parts that everyone else was.

I have not seen a crowd get so involved in a movie with some "uh huh," "oh girl," and stampede of feet stomping. Awkward yet hilarious. Bonus, Caleb bought us some Cotton Candy, it was delish.

We spent most of the time at Miami south beach even though it was further away but the water was crystal clear.

The first picture didn't show how clear it was so I asked Caleb to sit so I could take a picture of him. =)

Then on our last day in Florida we went to the Miami Zoo.

I was trying to help keep her modest. Just like I tell my Young Women, "Modest is the Hottest!"

Pettting the goats.

Caleb said "try not to act so scared"

Clearly he must have forgotten this experience in San Antonio.

We were too cheap to pay for a camel ride so we took a picture of these guys and are going to pretend it's us.

The fences at the zoo were about up to your thigh, and had a tiny ditch between. So scary.

Here is a tiger.

And here is a picture of a tiger jumping way further than the ditch at the zoo.

We had to buy two packages of granola bars because we never like the same kind. I pulled them out of the backpack for Caleb to grab his and he thought I was giving him the option and picked mine.
