Florida Vacation May 2011

We are still dreaming of the beach and sunny warm weather! What an amazing vacation! Last week we went to Florida to visit my mom and dad aka Grammy and Gramps! We had an amazing time and my parents were wonderful! There is nothing like a week of sleep and rest and relaxation! We got there on Friday morning and hung out at the house, swimming in the pool and having a few Corona with some fresh lime off their lime tree! AWESOME!! Madison had a blast swimming in the big pool, but she really loved the little pool that Grammy and Gramps got her that had a little slide! :) She spent most of the afternoon getting in and out of that little pool. The next day we just kind of hung out again at the house. Jon and I went fishing, and yes folks, I caught a fish and Jon didn't! He He He! :) My parents watched the little one that night and we got to go to the casino and have a little fun. Sunday we hit the beach! Madison loved, loved, loved, playing in the sand. This year she was walking up and down the beach picking up sea shells! Too cute! She kept picking up the big pieces of the broken shells and putting them in a little cup. I saved them to show her when she gets older. On Monday we got family pictures taken on the beach! That was a lot of fun! Thanks Grammy and Gramps for setting that up! The photographer got some great pictures and as soon as we get the disc I will share them with you all. We then went over to Boca Grand and hit the beach. Now, for those of you who know me, I love finding sea shells! We hit the gold mine at this beach! Tons of really cool shells. That day my dad bought a pass that gets you into the national park beaches after hours. What an awesome thing! Jon and I went back three nights in a row! I swear, we were the only ones on the beach! We walked the beach with dive flashlights looking for sea shell, drank wine, and just relaxed! We also took Madison to an aquarium up in Sarasota! She LOVED it! They had two huge sea turtles that would swim right up to the glass. Of course, Grammy had to buy Madie a stuffed turtle! We all know she loved it because Grammy worked on teaching Madison to say turtle and now she says turtle! :) She also learned to say baby and boo boo. It was an amazing vacation! Madison also discovered the shower that my parents have on their lanai! She kept running under and through it like it was a sprinkler! Thanks again Grammy and Gramps! We all miss you very much!
