The temperature is getting chilly here in Ohio! We wish we were back on the beach! Speaking of, here are more Florida pictures. Why? Because I took entirely way too many pictures, James makes the funniest faces, and I want to capture our time there on this blog (since I will turn it into a book at the end of the year). Time to catch up! Enjoy!
Florida was just what we needed. Fun, sun and relaxation. What did we do? Not much of anything!
We took morning walks on the boardwalk and watched the beach "wake up." We took naps during the morning rain. We ventured to the beach for some ocean family fun. We de-sanded and bathed our little mini before heading out to dinner. We mini-golfed. We ate dessert on the patio and listened to the waves as James was asleep for the night. We just enjoyed our time together as a family; which seems to be fleeting these days with hectic work and travel schedules. Then, did all over again each day, for a week! That is, until the big waves came crashing and washed our beach tent away. Then, we had had enough! (Thankfully this happened on our last beach day for the week. We can laugh about it now...). Okay, and we took a day trip to St. Augustine to see a fort and historic town, too.
After a few visits to the ocean, James ended up loving it. He couldn't get enough of crawling around on the sand and splashing in the water. He definitely wasn't shy about getting friendly with the sand. Great first family vacation!
