Kayaking down Duval St.

Why drive when you can kayak?! On our second day in Key West it poured rain all day. It only does this about 5 times a year. But when it does, the streets and parking lots are flooded with water. This picture was taken on Duval street in front of our store. The street literally looks like a river.

WE MADE IT!!

We are in Key West!! We have crammed as much as we possibly could into the last few weeks. We left San Francisco at about 6pm on Sunday the 6th and drove through the night to Idaho to visit my family for a few days. This was supposed to be a 10 hour drive and turned into a 16 HOUR DRIVE. We hit a snow storm and had to get chains put on and then could only drive about 30mph. It was miserable, but worth it in the end. We arrived in Idaho at 10am Monday morning. It was so great to be home and see family. We had a little Christmas with them decorated the tree and opened presents.

From there we drove to Logan UT. It was so fun to see some friends and spend time with Chris's side of the family. While we were there we bought a new car.

Its a Toyota highlander. We needed an SUV (for all of our stuff) and Toyota is a good reliable car that will still get decent gas mileage. It's actually quite a comical story. We had been looking at cars in San Francisco online so when we got to Utah Chris had a few he wanted to go see. We had been looking and looking and hadn't really found anything. Then on our last day in Logan we went to General Motors. Chris's friend Nate works there so he was able to give us a pretty good deal. We bought the car and right there in the dealership started unloading all the stuff we had brought from San Francisco out of our Lexus and some additional stuff we were bringing to Key West that was in our Jeep all into our new Toyota. Haha! I am sure we were quite the site to be seen. We took off right from the dealership to begin our journey to key west, fl. We had about 27,000 miles ahead of us.

Chris is such a trooper he pretty much drove the entire way. We drove till Kansas City where we stopped for the night. The next day we drove to Mississippi where one of my best friends Erin lives. We stayed the night with them and spent half of the day hanging out and relaxing.

Here are a few videos of us all playing with Erin's little boy Owen. He is so cute!!

The next two days we spent in Florida. We stayed in Tallahassee the first night and in Ft. Lauderdale the second night. We shopped and ate lunch in Miami and then started the 3 hour drive along the Florida Keys. We are now getting settled into our apartment and learning our way around the island.

OVO (Ostentatious Vixens O-my)

Cirque Du Soleil came to San Francisco!  The three of us went to see the show together.  The show was called OVO and the theme was insects. It was amazing! I still can't believe how they pull of the stunts and tricks they do.  The whole time I was thinking, "how is that even humanly possible?!"

They set up the tent at AT&T park!

At intermission we played around trying on hats and masks.

The whole evening was epic.  It was the last night the three of us would spend together.

Adaline and I said goodbye to Kiera as her brother came to pick her up to go to Utah for her brother's wedding. Chris and I will be leaving on Sunday for Boise, Utah and then our next adventure in Key West.  So we wont see Kiera when she gets back.   Kiera is going to be taking over as manager here in San Francisco, we want to wish all the success to her and the store.   You will be greatly missed!!
