Isabella's and mama's little big adventures to Florida

Here are some more pictures of our recent trips to Florida. It was about 16 hours (one way) continuous driving time.


we stopped frequently to stretch our legs


 ...to play little bit


...to eat @ IHOP


 Isabella have been remarkably well- behaved. She watched movies, played with her dolls...


...slept in the car


Driving through bible belt Tennessee was interesting mostly because there were tons of freeway signs advertising various forms of adult entertainment: adult video stores, adult toy stores next to large crosses or churches.


 ...finally at the hotel in Fort Lauderdale




 so nice to relax after long drive




 Isabella decorated our hotel room with her art


 Hello ocean!


 aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh....serenity in Key Biscane







Gazing at trees (even through a window while at work) lowers anxiety at any time ~ Tokyo Medical University





 Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park is the home of a historic lighthouse built in 1825


 Park ranger did not let us go up in the lighthouse, because Isabella was not 8 years old :-(






Crandon Beach has been ranked one of the Top 10 Beaches in the U.S. A


..it was cloudy day, but still very warm and pleasant

  
so peaceful....no people at the beach...just Isabella and I




















 everyday we went to the beach..


...picked seashells








... we build sand castles



 

  

...watched crashing huge waves





sometimes days were cloudy, but water always was very warm that we still could go for a swim ;-)





 ...did some wind surfing






 those birds were very sneaky in trying to steel a fish








 Isabella's happy face


 spooky tree @ Hugh Taylor Birch Park


Florida's parks are full a lot of friendly racoons

 
 ...not so friendly vulchers


..neutral seagulls
 

Florida's art festivals full of strange dogs and their owners






 Isabella with her art festival friends





 ...it's time to go home after wonderful vacation in sunny Florida
