Florida Adventure 2





































One week.
St Augistine Beach... the hotel rooms, pool and Georgia in Bloom! It was a long week (of Rubbermaids of clothes, beach stuff, food, pack and plays and trying to be quiet for the baby who doesn't want to miss a thing!) and even longer drive (Dan put on 3200 miles on the pickup). We drove straight through down there and from Georgia back home getting home at 5am this morning! I swear we could not have made it another 20 miles! But it's done and I am glad we did it as a family. The kids loved the pools and Xander can now swim from one end of the pool to the other. (he was unsure he could do this until I offered a Sour Starburst for the family if he could accomplish this feat!) Some days were too cold and windy to make it to the beach. The sand whips around and hurts your bare legs and face. but the days that we did make it out there we had fun with the shovels and buckets, standing in the pounding waves, and reading in on the beach as the kids ate their 'Pringles" they have saved for weeks for the occasion.
