For Spring Break Scottie and I scored really big and got to stay at my co-worker's condo right on Hollywood Beach for FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Literally right on the beach...like walk out the door and you are on the beach!!! It was so amazing, and we had a fun vacation together enjoying the break from winter.
Monday- we went golfing, and we couldn't get over the fact that we were golfing in February!!!
I was super proud of my hit above. I got stuck in the sand trap and was able to successfully get out of it:)

We splurged and got a golf cart instead of walking. Hoot Hooot!
After golf we went to the beach and then out to eat at a highly recommended place, called Le Tub. It is the #1 place to eat a burger before you die (I think Opera gave it that ranking)
Here we are! I seriously loved this place. I felt like I was at Disneyland with how it was decorated. The best part was that it was right on the pier and you could feed angel fish while you ate. I think they claimed most of my dinner LOL.
Me with the menu. We got the famous burgers of course.
Yes those are toilets...they decorated with Tubs and toilets...hence the name Le Tub.
I woke up to watch the sunrise and this is how I saw my sweetie sleeping. It was too cute not to take a picture of. I think he may kill me though for posting it J/K.
Tuesday- We decided to head south for the day and went to Key West. Key West was our
favorite part of vacation. We beach bummed, snorkeled, watched the sun set celebration, and ate at a sea food buffet.
We had an amazing experience snorkeling and had over 100 fish eating out of our hands. *Tip use apples and bananas...the fish can't resist them! After we were beached out we rushed off to the...Sunset Celebration.

The sunset celebration was so fun! Every night people (thousands) gather together to watch the sun go down. There were street vendors and performers and we just loved the fact that after the sunset everyone clapped!
Notice the sailboat in the distance between us.
We had dinner at the locals favorite place called Captain Mario's Seafood Feast
An older couple we sat by did the nicest thing for us and secretly picked up our tab. When we asked for our check our waiter said "sorry you can't do that because the couple sitting next to you already paid for you when they left." Scottie and I were so touched and decided we are going to pay it forward one day...for some young couple so in love!
Samples of our seafood feast!
Wednesday- We had a beach day flying kites and bogey boarding.
Here are 2 of the babies
Here was the second alligator that we saw. Cool pic huh?
You got to love that Scottie wore his Gator shirt!
After the airboat tour we got to watch alligator wrestling. The guide was putting his hand in the gators mouth (they are blind in the front)!!!!!!!!!!!!
We decided to fork over the $$$doe $$$and paid to hold the alligator.
I loved this picture of us!

Thursday- We got up and went to Gator Park at the Everglades!!! It was so cool because we saw real live alligators in the wild.
Here is our airboat guide. Believe me she was hard core!
Here is the first alligator that we saw...She had babies too. Did you know alligators have 30-50 babies at a time (only 3-5 live to adulthood though)! We saw over 20 babies.

Friday- We chilled on the beach, went to the conservatory, and ate on the boardwalk.
I loved this picture of us!
Fun beach pictures. I love Scottie for being so willing to take them all with me!!!
Scottie said this one by the palm trees would be our album cover if we had a band. LOL that made me laugh so I had to include it!
Well there you have it. That was our Spring Break 2011 in a nut shell. We are well rested and ready for what ever life is going to throw at us next!

Ahgela and Scottie,
I always love looking at your blog. You both really know how to take a vacation. If you get to do this again, let your mother and I know, so we can crowd in. I think you two would be a lot of fun to vacation with. I love the pictures with the gators and thought the story of the couple paying for your meal sure was sweet. You sure wish that you know who they were so that you could at least send them a thank you. We do live in a great country and are surrounded by kind people wherever you go. Keep up the positive attitudes and looking forward to seeing your blog in June of your latest cruise. Love Dad.
Should have reviewed my comments before I posted them. You would like your dad would know how to spell his favortite red headed daughters name. Let try again. I think it is Angela and not Ahgela. Just to let you know that I can spell. The H key is just above the N key and I was trying to type at a recorder speed. Love Dad
Okay weird, I just typed a whole bunch and when I went to publish it, it vanished! I will try to repeat myself-
I absolutely love that you shared these pictures and comments, I almost feel like I was there...almost...okay, not at all, but I sure wish I had been! They are awesome and I am thrilled at the idea of a sunset celebration, way better than clapping at the close of the stock market...why do they do that, even on a down day??? Bless that older couple, how sweet. You guys are the best!
Love4ever,
M
Wow! Sounds like a blast! I agree with your dad, you guys would be super fun to vacation with :)

Wow! Great pics!! Your band could be called "Caribean Breeze" or " The Big White Pot Behind U"! lol. Love Angie's white sundress and that is soo nice that that couple paid for your dinner! They were probably impressed with you. That is awesome people clap when the sun goes down--appreciation for God's handiwork!! Love Mom
