So - we'll be off to Miami and the Keys this month. We are leaving on the 26th and coming back May 4th. You can all stop worrying about the sugar gliders - My mom Pam will be taking care of them. Anyway, we'll be spending the first part of our trip in the Keys, staying in Key west. We are actually going to be arriving on the day before they re-join the Union (they ritualistically break away from the US for a few days each year, declare war, then re-join and demand aid). So, pretty much the coolest building ever lies on the last key in the archipelago - it's called Fort Jefferson... it was a fort built on a super remote, super small island called "Dry Tortugas"--it's purpose was to fight pirates (I hope they don't try to fight me because I pirated the images used in this blog entry...) We have to take a 2 hr. boat ride, then we can snorkel, tour the building... stuff like that. Dr. Mudd (who was prosecuted as a conspirator to assassinate President Lincoln) spent some time there after it was converted into a prison... If I am sent to prison for disobeying copyright laws and posting these photos to our blog, then send me there please!! Anyway, we are both pretty excited.. I'll post the video when we are back.

All of the keys are haunted by gay pirate ghosts, and florida is America's wang. What are you trying to tell us with this vacation?
You'd better post some pics when you get back, except for the ghei pirates, no one wants to see that. :-)
The Keys are my preferred archipelago. Would you be inclinded to concur?
