AJ had a wonderful time playing at the private beach at Strawberry Fields in Jamaica on the east coast of the island. The secluded cove and warm tropical Caribbean waters are made perfect by the lovely shade trees and lush tropical scenery. Yes this is the famous Strawberry Fields in Jamaica in February 2008. Look it up!!

AJ spent 6 months living on the West End Cliffs of Jamaica at Heartbeat Resort. This photo was taken on the heart shaped patio which was laid out on the ancient coral reef. AJ spent countless hours living in the yard at Heartbeat and the private beach was his playground for Summer 2007.

AJ made a new friend after his brother Robby thre sand at Jamie who lives nearby. Jamie hangs at the bar/ restaurant waiting for his mother it seems so he’s around the beach a lot. He was glad to have som kids his age to play with at the beach so it may work well for us all. AJ likes new friends and Robby needs to learn to no to smack them.

AJ and family enjoy a sweet view from their room at Heartbeat Hotel in Negril Jamaica. The Hertshaped deck is the perfect place to lay and chill both day and night. The stars out here at night are amazing and the kids have had a blast on the grounds.
Our 3rd day in Jamaica we spent at the beach. We went down to Long Bay and found a waterpark for kids. We’ll most likelyhit that later in the week or next weekend maybe. Should be good fun for all of us as the heat is pretty bad. A waterpark sounds good right now.

Aj and the rest of us are enjoying our time here in Jamaica so far. The place is a great location with access to our a semi private beach and some of the most beautiful diving you ever saw. I’m loading up some more pics of us on our 2nd and 3rd days in Negril. It’s been a shock for us but we’re acclimating fine I think. The kids love the beach and it’s all very relaxing.

AJ strikes a pose for the camera. He may look cute but this is the devious AJ look. Be careful when you see this face.

AJ seems fearless when it comes to the ocean. I was more scared of him hanging his feet then he was. He was so casual about it that I w as more nervous. I don’t know if he understand or not what may happen.

AJ takes a dip in the ocean at the beach located next door to the hotel. Its just a walk around the fence and we’re in the water. It’s not busy at all here in Negril so it’s been just us wherever we go. Kinda nice but a bit of a hassle when they really need your money. We get lots of scammers looking to make some bucks on us. We’re safe where we are and people seem glad to see us.

Here is the view from the window over the bed AJ sleeps in. It’s a nice place to wander around and think. AJ has found much “inspiration” as he calls it here.

AJ had a blast when we went to Fort Lauderdale and here are some bad pics of him at the beach. It was a windy and chilly day but AJ would not leave without going into the ocean until his lips turned blue and he was shivering cold. We had to wrap him in a blanket and keep him from hypothermia but he would not get out of the water. AJ really does love the ocean and since we moved here to Ocala has not seen it. After two years away he had to get some salt on him it seems and the temperature didn’t matter. He loves having waves crash down on him and he still gets hyper excited when he gets overwhelmed by one. He just loves being splashed by the water.

Our trip to Lauderdale beach solidified our decision to move to Jamaica this summer and get back to the ocean and natural beauty of the islands we missed since leaving the Keys and South Florida.
