š Embark on the ultimate 800-mile road-trip adventure with us as we journey to Key Largo and the exclusive Ocean Reef Club! Our original plan for a post-Christmas family retreat took an unexpected turn when Blair tested positive for a little something unexpected just two days into our sun-soaked escapadeā¦COVID.
But hereās the twist ā we transformed adversity into opportunity, sharing the highs and lows of our journey, from the open road to the breathtaking beaches and sunsets. Join us as we showcase the resilience of our group during outdoor gatherings, scenic views, and moments of rest and recovery.
From the vibrant nightlife to our stay on a budget at the local Moose Lodge, this trip became a celebration of love, togetherness, and the unbreakable bond of family. Whether itās the road-trip playlist, the budget-friendly accommodations, or the unexpected detours, every moment adds to the magic of our adventure.

Florida traffic is insane. It took us 5 hours just to cross the state from Tampa to Orlando. Ugh. Once you get somewhere, it is nice! Beautiful time lapse of the sunset. Happy 2024! -Michelle
Happy New Year to you both. So sorry that trip was interrupted with being so sick, but we love how you always have a plan B and work through, and make the best of daily challenges!!. Great sunsets!!!!!!
How did you get into Ocean Reef Club? Are you two members? Are your friends members? Weāve been to Ocean Reef at the invitation of friends and itās gorgeous!
