On Thanksgiving morning, we checked out of our hotel in Key Largo and headed toward Biscayne National Park. We set up a boat tour to head to Boca Chita Key. It was a gorgeous day and it felt so fun to be out on the water on Thanksgiving.
Boca Chita Key was really crowded on Thanksgiving. It is a getaway from Miami and people park their boats and hang out on the island. There was no where to park our boat when we arrived, but our Captain knew everyone on the island and was able to hook up to another boat.
Captain Eddie was our captain for the day and he was so great! He really knew the National Park really well.
What a way to spend Thanksgiving day!
We took the trail on the island, but they had just had a large storm and there was lots of standing water and tons of mosquitos! We pretty much had to run through the trail and then jump in the water after the trail.
The water felt so nice! It was fun to swim around.
We also took the boat to Elliot Key and snorkeled around. I forgot to take pictures, but the boys found some amazing fish. The girls sat on the boat and enjoyed the sunshine.
After our morning at Biscayne National Park we headed back to Fort Lauderdale, swam and ate a really nice dinner at the resort.
It was an amazing vacation and I am so thankful we were able to get away!
