After Christmas, we headed down to Florida to spend a week with my dad, stepmom, sister Amy (and her family) and brought our other sister Emily with us. It was AWESOME!!! 1) the weather was amazing, warm and so nice every single day 2) my folks rented an awesome house, so we didn't need to stay in a hotel and the kids LOVED it. It was on the water, had it's own pool and had some great couches for the kids to jump on, around and off :-) and 3) I actually took some time off work (we were closed for the holiday) and spent time with the kids. It feels like its been so long since I just focused on them and I loved it. The drive to and from, wasn't spectacular and I think I have Andy convinced that the next time we go somewhere for long distance that we fly (fingers crossed that he remembers).
The kids loved the ocean and the beach, loved being around so many people, loved seeing the wildlife and just plain loved the new adventure. Here are some pictures from the trip.
