Florida back to Arizona

Date: Jan 25th
Location: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Phoenix

We woke up and were back in Miami!

We all met for breakfast on the ship

and then debarked.

A van was waiting for us to take us back to Fort Lauderdale Airport.

We checked in our bags early

and then had a few hours to kill.

Some went to a movie,

the rest of us took an Uber to the beach and wandered around.

We found this cute restaurant on the pier
of a fairly undeveloped beach.
Rare to see that in a big city!

Such yummy food!

After we ate lunch we wandered along the beach

This beach was so unique!

It was like the treasure dump of the ocean!

I've never seen so much fresh wet coral, shells, sea plants, etc on the beach!

Huge mounds of seashells just washed up together!!

Yes even remnants of sea creatures too!!

So we stuck one in Mike's backpack without him knowing! lol

Walking to the main road to catch an Uber back to the airport.

I just love how lush and green it is here!

Eventually we loaded onto the plane and took off.

Goodbye Florida!!

Now on to Altanta for a pit stop...

then finally to Phoenix!

We landed about 8pm

and cruised on back to Anthem to see our kiddos!!!

What a super fun and relaxing trip!!

We sure do miss our kids when we travel without them.

But oh how wonderful (and necessary!)  it is for us to have us time alone!

Now back to reality of kids pecking us to death! lol
