NYC city kids...(scratch that) NYC tweens have tak NYC city kids...(scratch that) NYC tweens have taken over Florida and we couldn’t be happier. Now I understand why they call Miami/FL “NY South”. We have been lucky to catch up with sooo many of our school families and friends. 

Grateful that our kids (and parents) get this socialization after a year of remote learning. 

Friends are the best gift ever. Memories of a lifetime. Grateful that we had the best weather, so many outdoor activities and expert mask-wearers.
