More FL Pictures





"Uncle" Jim and Violet in Key West


It was an added bonus that we got to see Jim and Beth on our trip. Violet loved Jim and was especially impressed with his bravery in letting the stranger on the street drape a gigantic snake around him for her enjoyment. Here's the proof.


No Name Pub, No Name Key FL

The entire place is covered in $1 bills

Violet playing with Uncle Scott

Very clever, Dad.

Now when she goes back to the Keys on Spring Break in 18 years she can find the "Happy First Birthday Violet" dollar her dad donated to the place.

Florida Keys Robillard Vacation

We just returned from a fun and relaxing Robillard family vacation in the Florida Keys. It was cooler than normal (60's), but there was plenty of sun and plenty to do.

Violet had a ball getting reacquainted with her Grandpa and Grandma, Uncle Scott, Aunt Rene, and cousins Trevor and Travis. The boys were her favorite ones to watch - especially as they goofed around in the pool. And Travis in particular kept her entertained playing chase around the house, and making her laugh big belly laughs in the backseat of the car on the ride back to Marathon from Key West

She also continues to be a great traveler, charming the people in the row behind us on the plane - a 2-hour game of peek-a-boo with some very nice people who said they've "been there. done that."

Schedule? What Schedule? It was vacation after all, and Violet had no problem grabbing catnaps when she could and eating random foods at random times. She rolled with it all in laid back Violet fashion, and it made the trip enjoyable for everyone involved. There are lots of great pictures, here are a few...

You have to wait for it, but Violet makes her fish face here:
