Miami Weekend

Joey had a two week training with the Hillsborough County Dive Team in Miami. We really missed Daddy while he was gone. Thankfully, the training was over Veteran's Day weekend, so we were able to go. My awesome job share partner worked all day Friday for me so I could leave Thursday morning for Miami and stay until Sunday night. Koa did great on the 4 hour drive and we were able to hang out at the pool at Joey's hotel while he was at training. Over the weekend, we went to Key Biscayne and hiked a few trails. We were able to go up in an old lighthouse and check out a cool view. We enjoyed walking around different parts of Miami--Coconut Grove was a quaint little area where we found a cool bbq sports bar and enjoyed lunch. They had some stuffed animals that we used as props for Koa to take pictures with. Entertaining for us... After lunch, we walked through another piece of Miami history. This time it was Barnacle State Historic Site--the Birthplace of Miami. The Miami Man half Ironman was also that weekend and our friends Annie and Tricia from Kansas City were competing. It was so nice to see them and spend some time together. It was the first time Annie met Koa! After saying "bababababa" over and over for more than a week, Koa said "mom mom." Of course, I grabbed my phone and recorded "mom mom" and sent it to Joey.
