A family with Saltwater in their Veins

It’s a two-hour drive from Miami International Airport. We pick up our bags and head for the Florida Keys, crossing bridge after bridge. The small tropical islands are surrounded by turquoise water and views that could be on a postcard sent from paradise.

The Codfather of Lofoten
