  On our way to the airport it was already discussed that Robert is here would be our very first stop the next morning upon our arrival in Homestead, FL.  What we know them for is the most delicious milkshakes and smoothies we have ever had!  They even have an animal farm behind the fruit stand for your enjoyment while sitting at one of the picnic tables drinking your shake.
