Fort Zachary Taylor Park, Key West, FL

The wind remains calm and it’s overcast. Jana and I catch up on some work, she’s still working hard on the blog. It is a massive project, but we feel it will be a legacy for our kids when they reflect back on this trip.
I’m doing some work and planning the next legs of our trip. I eventually take a break and fit the Smart Lock on the RV so we can access and lock the RV remotely. It’s an August Smart Lock and works really well. The instructions are phenomenal, and that’s honestly a rarity with these sorts of items.
I also raise up the shower head to accommodate Jack’s growing height. We finally finish with work and school all head down to Fort Zachary Taylor Park Beach.
It’s a lovely beach and there are some amazing vintage sailboats sailing in and out of the harbor entrance. The harbor entrance sits behind a breakwater, between the harbor and the beach.
Jack and Jana take some photos and Ellie draws in her sketch book. It’s a lovely way to finish our Sunday.
At dusk, we head back toward Boyd’s and grab take out from Miami Grill and Subs.
Good local take out! It kind of reminds us of Bodo’s from Charlottesville, but not quite as finely tuned.
We hunker down for the night. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so we’re planning to stay in, and maybe paddle if there’s a break and it’s not pelting down.

Happy Birthday to My Greatest Adventure Partner!
Happy 20th Birthday, Jack!
Grant’s built homes, companies, and communities, but the most beautiful thing he’s built is the life we’ve gotten to share for more than 21 years now. It’s a life grounded in love, kindness, and deep gratitude for our family and all the experiences we get to have together, thanks to him.
I love Grant’s integrity, purpose, passion, and his heart-centered generosity of spirit — whether he’s working on visionary wellness communities or transforming an abandoned shack into our next family home.
Right now, I’m so grateful for Grant’s support during the hardest health challenge of my life, whether it be helping me walk down the stairs, dressing me, driving me to endless appointments, or reminding me of my own strength when things get scary. He holds space for all of who I am, supporting the choices I make for my healing, and supporting my dreams with unwavering belief in me, in sickness and in health.
At the same time, Grant is the best dad to Jack and Ellie. Watching him with them, celebrating their gifts, supporting their journeys, and being their safe harbor is a blessing and a joy. He parents with empathy, kindness, an open mind and endless patience, and show them, every day, what it means to be a man who leads with his heart.
At work, Grant is a force of nature. He inspires positive change, connection, and makes the world better, one project at a time. But beyond his impressive accomplishments, it’s his humility, his servant leadership, and his genuine care for people that truly set him apart. Grant doesn’t just work to improve businesses, he works to improve lives.
He’s taught me that true success is measured not by what we achieve but by how much we care. And Grant cares so much; about his family, his friends, his community, and this planet we all share.
Grantly, thank you for being wild and free, for embracing life’s chaos with open arms, and for loving me and our family unconditionally.
Happy Birthday!
