Our trip to Florida wouldn't have been complete unless we made a trip to the beach! I'd forgotten how beautiful the Gulf Coast really is! It was a balmy 67 degrees and we loved every minute of it! Brenden spent his time digging or chasing the seagulls away, while Annie made houses with Uncle Doug. The water was freezing but the sun was warm! A great way to end our vacation!
What a face!!!
Maybe an engineer in the future?
This family packed into our van with our dog and headed to Florida for Christmas. Yep, we drove the 26 hours to be with family for the big day! We did split the drive into 2 days. We drove the 10 hours to Winchester, VA to spend the "night" (5 hours doesn't really cut it) with my sister and Shane. Then spent 16 hours driving the next day all the way down to Cape Coral, FL. The drive went really well. I am surprised as to how well we all handled being in a car (and that close to each other) for that long! We made it without injury or major problems!
Christmas morning came quickly for this family! The kids were ready for all that the day promised. Now this is where I will continue to struggle. I don't want the message of Christmas to be endless presents, but it seems that I am fighting an uphill battle! Regardless, the family had a great day opening presents and visiting with family! Troy's uncle Doug came over for most of the day and Annie absolutely fell in love with him!
We spent the next four days lounging in the pool and eating our way around the house! It really was a great vacation!
It was a great trip for all of us! Troy and I got some much needed rest and the kids loved being with the grandparents. Family time is wonderful!
