March 21 2008 Miami Florida

Friday 21~~~Cindy, Erik and the boys arrived this morning, Kent and I were just finishing up breakfast at the motel when the shuttle pulled up with the Schaffer's on it. They looked so tired, so they ate a quick breakfast and the boys went to our room with Sharon to rest and watch TV while Kent, Cindy and Erik took half the luggage and got us checked in at the Miami Beach Resort where we will stay until we leave on our cruise. The boys were so tired they fell asleep almost immediately while Sharon read her book. Kent came back and picked us up and the rest of the luggage and we headed over to join Cindy and Erik. Dee Dee and Tony aren't here yet, so Cindy kept sending her pictures of the ocean and pool teasing her to hurry and get here. (pictures) We went down to the beach and got in the water, but it was pretty rough and deep compared to our beach back home. (picture) We sat in our lounges and watched the boys play in the water.After a fun day in the sun, we walked to a restaurant for dinner and on our way back to our motel, we had fun cracking open one of the many coconuts we found laying on the ground. (picture)We didn't know that they have two hard shells to get through, you break through the first shell and then there is another one with the milk and the meat. Sharon was the only one who would eat any of the coconut, it was delicious. We went to bed early, as the kids were pretty tired from flying the red eye last night. The next day we took the shuttle to South Beach (picture) to sight see and have lunch. Brandon was hoping to see some pretty South Beach girls, so we walked all over and didn't find any. LOL
