Day 1: Your Home Town / Key West, Florida

Just a short flight or a scenic drive from your home town, arrive in Key West with your immediate and extended family, where you will continue on to your premier resort or pick up your three full-size Hertz rental cars with pre-registration and unlimited mileage. Settle into your three, one-bedroom suites with balconies at Casa Marina, A Waldorf Astoria Resort as you begin reconnecting with your loved ones. With more than 1,100 feet of secluded beach, this legendary resort offers the ultimate sun and sand getaway.

This evening, dine at HMF Sidecar, where you will learn fun facts about the resort's rich history and founder, railroad tycoon Henry Flagler. Listed in the National Register for Historic Places, the resort has been hosting dignitaries and artists since its opening on New Year's Eve, 1920. After dinner, enjoy an ocean water martini as you listen to the restaurant's live music and toast to the fun in the sun that awaits.

Day 2: Beach Fun & Exploration

Begin the morning with a scrumptious breakfast on your balcony. Afterwards, head to the beach for hours of activities for the entire family. Snorkel or scuba dive as you explore the only living barrier reef in the United States.

After lunch, try your hand at parasailing over the crystal clear waters of Key West.

This evening, head to Sun Sun restaurant for toes-in-the-sand dining. Delight in Bahamian conch fritters with key lime Creole mustard, followed by your main course, Gulf shrimp and scallop fettucine in a chardonnay cream sauce with caramelized fennel, pancetta and fresh basil. For dessert, indulge in your choice of pineapple upside down cake with caramel sauce or key lime pie with raspberry coulis.

Day 3: Dolphin Encounter & Resort Relaxation

Spend the day enjoying the marine life of the Florida Keys as you and your family embark on a Dolphin Encounter to see firsthand some of the world's most beautiful sea animals. Snorkel with the dolphins in backcountry reefs, with instruction from expert guides, and enjoy refreshments on this family-friendly excursion.

After your dolphin encounter, laze at one of the resort's two oceanfront pools, and then grab a sandwich and locally crafted gelato at Rambler's, named after the famous private railcar of Henry Flagler.

Day 4: Spa Indulgence & Sand Art

Enjoy another cozy morning in the comfort of your suite with breakfast in bed as you prepare for a day of ultimate spa experience.

Indulge in the Spa al Mare's Ocean Breeze massage on the beach as you listen to the gentle waves of the ocean. Then, gather the kids for a sand sculpture workshop, where professionals will assist your family in building your own sand sculpture. Snap a picture of the entire family in front of your work of art with the blue water of the Atlantic in the background.

Conclude your day with a catamaran sail sunset cruise, complete with beer, wine and champagne for the adults.

Marvel at the beautiful sunrise with your toes in the sand as you indulge in an a la carte breakfast at Flager's Terrace at the resort's Sun Sun restaurant.
