Home Away From Home

  You could say that Miami is to the Daytons as Oregon is to the Van Cotts.  Hopefully, soon the whole Dayton fam can get back to Miami.

Why do we love Miami?  Well, we do 2 things. Eat and play on the beach. 

Really, we love the Cuban culture and visiting family.

 So here are some pics....

 Playing on the beach - Dad brought his metal detector! We all took turns playing with it. We actually found $3 in change!

 Eating - Mom and Dad at Los Jugos

Who knows? What famous artist sings about Calle Ocho?

Joseph all sandy!

My Dad and Joseph went on their fishing adventure.

When my dad was in like 3rd grade? ....there was wet cement on his way to school, so of course he wrote his name in it and it's still there!

 Eating! Mario's has the best garlic rolls ever! We love their pizza too.

 I only got in the water once. It was the coldest I have ever felt in Miami. Yes, I know, I am not a daring VanCott when it comes to swimming in water. Joseph has more than pointed that out to me.  

Joseph's turn to help medal detect

Cute Catalina 

Windy beach day.

Someone got a good idea....

One of my favorite things! Ghirardelli caramels

Yes, this trip was at the end of January. I'm always trying to catch up ;)
