We stayed at the Hilton Bentley in South Beach and there was a cute little path from our hotel to the sand. It was such a cool little place.
We went to the beach one day while Clint had meetings and the birds swarmed us because Ava spilled her Dorito's. Then Mayah found this dead fish and Ava wouldn't leave it alone.
When we first got to our hotel room, Mayah says, "Mom, you've got to come in and look at this cute little sink in here." She hadn't seen a bidet before, and we were surprised to be staying in such a fancy little boutique hotel. It was right around the corner from "8th & Ocean" where that reality show about modeling is based, so you can guess the type of crowd that hung out there and drove up in their exotic cars. We laughed when we pulled up to valet in our little red chevy rental car.
We took a day to drive to the everglades and do an airboat ride. We saw alligators and crocodiles and got a history lesson on the natural wetlands. Then we got to tour the "petting zoo" which comprised of several small lizards, random roosters, a few jaguars, pumas, and a "bearded dragon" (which Mayah was able to name!). Clint and Mayah got to hold a 1 yr old Alligator. It actually pooped on Mayah, and the guide said not to worry about a little bit of "gator-ade". ha ha
It was a fun trip, and a good way to get away from the bitter cold of Nebraska for a week or so.

OOOOOOOOOOH!! I am soooo jealous! That pic of Mayah holding the alligator is awesome! That will be amazing for her to look back and remember she held an alligator! Yikes! :) It sounds like you had fun!
I'm so glad your back blogging! Looks like you guys had a great trip!
We need to get together when you are all settled in :)
What a fun vacation. I remember going to Florida when I was Mayah's age and seeing the alligators. Gotta get out of that Midwest winter nightmare!
