When the weatherman says "Welcome to Spring!" and warns of severe weather whiplash in the same sentence I kind of want to throw my heels at the TV. I don't really do the heel thing but those shoes would cause the most damage, I presume, so the heels must be thrown to show my disgust at this darn, darn introduction to Spring in New York. I'll just remind everyone that the weather has been flip-flopping from 20 degrees to the 50s...
One Saturday when James was off of work we rented a car and drove down to the Florida Keys. We had heard rave reviews about a glass-bottom boat tour at an underwater national park in Key Largo and thought it sounded perfect, especially since snorkeling the reef is a no-go with out littles in tow.

The boys are asleep and I'm sitting on the couch eating apple slices dipped in peanut butter and speculoos. The PB's for protein and the speculoos for no other reason than have you tried speculoos, because if you have to ask why then I'd have to believe you haven't.
