Hawaii...again ;)

I had the opportunity to spend my fourth of July in Hawaii they also celebrate their becoming a state in the United States. I love Hawaii anyways and my dream would be to live thereI think I could handle living on an island... Anyways here are the pics!

Florida Keys/Miami

If Florida did not have so many crazy animals/insects/reptiles in it I think I would move here! Our Journey started in the Florida Keys, Key West we had a wild time meeting people in a little off the wall place to eat with the best fish I have eaten...so good! Then we went to a snorkeling company and snorkeled I got to see my first Large sea turtle it was HUGE I have seen smaller ones in Hawaii but none the size of this one and Barracuda fish darted around us and some smaller rainbow colored fish were spread through out the coral I would highly recommend "Robbie's of Islamorada" The BEST snorkeling excursion I had ever been on! After our excursion we continued out Journey to Miami and did we have a crazy time there! Our hotel was right on the ocean and has a beautiful chandler in the front lobby (I remember it because I don't think I had ever seen one as big in person before. Night life in Miami is just as crazy as people say it is we stayed up till 3am we found a street festival, we ate crazy food, we danced, we went to the ocean (which we found out was closed and saw some people coming back from skinny dipping and running from the patrol!) To end the journey we made a stop over at the Everglades. I got to see some very large locust (Bigger than the ones I saw in Texas they were HUGE and everywhere! I think it was mating season...) And some alligator's just chilling in various places! All in all I had an amazing crazy time with some Ladies from work! Here are some Pics!

Madrid Spain

Time always goes so fast! This last trip to Spain had it's good parts and one bad part. I flew in and met a friend who had just completed the Pilgrimage "Camino de Santiago" and I asked to meet up with her for a few extra days. We met in the city of Toledo. What an incredible Place! I felt like time had transfixed and I was back in the 13th century. Then we went back to Madrid and Stayed at the Marriott (I was very impressed!) We saw the Palace and down Town we Stopped at the famous Park "Buen Retiro" We got lost down a street and wandered around for shopping. Spain is a Beautiful Place and I want to definitely want to visit again...because and this is the sad part...I lost my kindle which had the majority of my pictures on it...I only have a have a few...
