Vacation

Last week we celebrated our 5th anniversary by going on a family vacation to Florida.  We actually went to the same place that we used to vacation when I was a child so it was really nostalgic for me.  It looks the exact same!

It is steps off of the beach so Hunter and I enjoyed walking on the beach in the morning and finding seashells.  We had to stop and inspect nearly every one so sometimes it took a while. :)  It is sea turtle season so there were several "do not disturb the nests" signs around so we had plenty of discussions about sea turtles.   The weather was pretty nice....a little rainy and cloudy on some days but we still had plenty of sunshine and enough good weather to enjoy being outside.

Hunter had fun building sand castles and "fighting" the waves with daddy, swimming and playing putt-putt.  One night we went out to dinner at a restaurant that had catfish swimming below.  Kids would feed them any random piece of food they could find.  Hunter contributed his french fries and pickles.  He really got a kick out of it.  Those fish had quite an appetite!  Cole napped on the beach and decided he wanted to be an official unassisted sitter while we were there!

Travel was relatively easy other than the fact that we didn't have enough arms to carry all of the stuff we had.  The flight was direct and the boys were well-behaved.  A success!
