Stiltsville!!



We just got back from an over night trip out to Stiltsville, and as always it didn't disappoint. No matter how stressed out you are, a short boat ride to our favourite house is all it takes to blow away those cobwebs!

Stiltsville is a group of houses in Key Biscayne about 7 miles off the shore of Miami. They have a great heritage and now is part of a national park so very few people get to go experience this magical place.

Kelly belongs to a wonderful club called The Miami Springs Power Boat Club, and this is their clubhouse. There are 75 members that can bring whoever they choose out here at any time. Lily's friend Kacey's dad is also in the process of becoming a member so this weekend we met Russ and Toby and Kacey out there, and took along Lily's friend Max and his parents Moira and Charles for their first Stiltsville experience.

We camped out over night and spent all our time fishing for snapper and swimming in the ocean. We slept out under the stars and watched a quite terrific thunderstorm off in the distance (thankfully!)

Glad you were able to sleep out without fear of the wind blowing you away- something I'll never forget! Loving the videos- a great addition! Love you lots xx
