It was an early morning heading to the airport, but it all went smoothly. Once on the airplane, Barry got to be doctor for about an hour at the back of the plane. Luckily all the kids fell asleep for part of the ride, Tanner and Kara both used the people sitting next to them as pillows, which they were horrified to learn when they woke up. It was amazing to get to sunny Florida! There was a recording playing on the bus we rode to get our rental car that said, "Have a Sunsational Day!" We rented a big Ford Expedition that would fit all of us, including Barry's parents who were coming in that night.
Right away we decided to hit the beach on Key Biscayne! We all had fun in the sun and sand! Barry, Tanner and Kara got all the way in and did so swimming. I was content hanging out with Jaxson and Kendra in the shallow water.
We started to get hungry so we headed to the Dadeland Vista apartments that we lived in back when Barry first started Med School. Nothing about them had changed in the past eight years! It was fun to show Tanner and Kara all the places in Miami that we used to frequent, like Walls Ice Cream where Tanner's picture was still hanging on the wall. He even tried to recreate it, but luckily he didn't get quite as blue as he did back in the day!
Miami was a little bit of a culture shock and the kids picked up that everyone around them was speaking Spanish. When Tanner was little we told him that he would go around the store saying, "Hola Amigo!" The kids tried to speak Spanish to each other, but it sounded more like Chinese than Spanish.
