Jacob’s Aquatic Center and Key Largo Community Park

If you’ve been following along you know that our time in Key Largo wasn’t a 100% vacation. We couldn’t check out of life and work for over 5 weeks.

Key Largo and the Gift 2020 gave us

2020…I don’t think anyone came out of 2020 saying BEST YEAR EVER! If you did, i’d love to hear from you! haha All jokes aside- it was a tough year! In the grand scope of things- we were VERY VERY blessed! So many people lost jobs and their businesses. We do taxes and as theyContinue reading “Key Largo and the Gift 2020 gave us”
