Yesterday was the last day in Miami and even though we were looking forward to going home, everyone was wistful because they were slowly getting used to the beautiful life here....

What a change, from one lane in the Keys with totally chilled traffic to 8 lanes and 3 interstates. Very intense. Only 1:45h travel time, but a completely different world. We...

We have big plans for the first day in the Keys because we will be going all the way down and not up. Driving south to the southernmost point of North America (only 90 miles to...

We're sitting in the car again. Now we're off to the penultimate stop - the Keys. We are super excited about what awaits us there. We're currently driving across the Everglades,...

Friday morning in Cape Coral: blue sky, sunshine... We head to Sunibel Island. This island hit Ian particularly hard last year, a lot of storm damage is visible here, the...

After the Everglades there were two dream beaches on the route and we headed for them. Unfortunately the water is still very choppy, so there is little visibility, but there are...

We finally have the bad weather behind us. The hurricane completely passed us by and yesterday we still had to contend with the foothills, lots of wind and thunderstorms. But...

Ok… that was exciting. Since Saturday we have been preparing for Idalia here via television and the weather app: the weather channel is constantly broadcasting the...

The drive from Clearwater was exciting because you drive through landscapes that you only see in the movies. Palm trees, sea, great views and huge bridges. There are even...

We haven't got in touch for two days now, but not because we didn't feel like it, but because we were simply relaxed. It was just a dream to be here and unfortunately we're...

Hujujui, today we experienced a lot and also saw a lot of Florida. There were rockets, engines, missions, shuttles and rental cars. This morning Arthur and I took a taxi to the...

Immediately after the SpaceCenter, the car drove across from east to west, from coast to coast. Driving is of course something completely different than in Germany, but really...

With the plane we continue to Florida, a taxi takes us from the hotel to the huge Ronald Reagon Airport. Everything is well organized here, we are there two hours before...

Today we were in the center of power, namely in the Capitol directly. We had a guided tour and it had a lot to offer historically. First we got to see a 13 minute film,...

We had lunch directly at the harbor. Simply beautiful there. Many boats and a really nice promenade. The kids then got a milkshake and then we went to the second part of the...

This morning we started at the Spy Museum. An incredibly large exhibition about the world of spies and how to decipher codes and hide. Since the FBI is located here, it is...

As if there were two climate zones, in NY it feels like 20 degrees and quite humid, and here it's summer with 32 degrees. Accordingly, we are flat at the platform and have to...

On our last evening, we took a walk to the harbor and had dinner there, and then took a nighttime harbor tour on a sailboat. We got our food from a supermarket where there is a...

The next stop is the 'Museum of Modern Art' and it is right around the corner from our hotel. We simply checked out the classics and only spent a short time (2 hours) inside,...

This morning we slept a little longer because yesterday was just crazy. On our way to our first highlight, we naturally grabbed breakfast. We're slowly becoming real pros when...

After the Lego Store, we still have some time before the last two highlights of the day. Once a 'bus tour' and then a visit to the M&M Store. But first, finally sit down and...

After the museum, we were quite tired because walking and reading for 3 hours makes you tired. So we go to Central Park, which is right outside the museum door, and rest there...

Happy Birthday to you.... What a day. It is now 10:10 PM local time and the day was simply amazing.... The ending was a mega blast. But let's start from the beginning. After the...

Then we sat in the beautiful little park next door, ate delicious pizza, and thought about the next stop... the Statue of Liberty. What would it be like to take the ferry there...

We had breakfast this morning right next to our hotel. In the typical diner Astro. Mia had Oreo waffles, Lukas had Nutella pancakes, and Mom and Dad had eggs and toast. So...

In der großen Boeing Dreamliner ging es uns richtig gut :-) Leckeres Essen, viele Getränke und ganz viel Boardentertainment

We made it and checked into the hotel. Yayyy…. After the delayed landing, passport control, and a 60-minute taxi ride, we finally arrived at the hotel room at 7:15 PM local...

We've arrived on time here... and now we're waiting for boarding for the big plane. Okay, waiting is today's motto :-))) We've been waiting for takeoff for quite a while now....

We are ready....All suitcases and backpacks are packed, Grandma Gerda drove us to Stuttgart Airport and now we are waiting to check in our bags. Ok....checking in the bags took...
