Summing up the trip to Miami, from a note sent to friends:

Hi guys, we're in Miami! So the trip went extremely well. Alex was positively cherubic, and was so excited about the whole experience she fell asleep at 7pm our time! (that has NEVER happened before!) She was very excited about seeing all the airplanes, the moving sidewalk, the train between terminals/gates in Denver, the clouds, the turbulence, the luggage sliding down a slide and rotating around the carousel, and our hotel room with floor to ceiling windows. Stephen mostly just hung out, and was pissed off he couldn't lie down for his nap on the plane. Now that we're here, it's mostly rainy, which is unfortunate. Jason thought he heard something on the news about tornadoes, so that could be interesting. Especially with floor to ceiling windows. There seems to be quite a bit we can do here though, despite the weather. Did you guys know that the largest zoo in North America was in Miami? I had no idea!
