Andrea and Louis came to visit us shortly before Christmas and then Fred with Family and the six of us headed to Florida with two cars. We had rented a large house with smimming pool and used it as a base to visit all the local haunts. Andrea and I took the kids to Miami for an overnight trip that allowed us to see the beach and the Everglades as well.

Herding three families with a total of eight kids was less of a challenge than we expected and we had a ton of fun. We’d do it all over again.
