Florida Vacation

Friday we said goodbye to the beach and headed home--a little sunburned and with sand throughout our hair. We were glad to see Chris but we miss the beach already. We can't wait to go back!



Abbie.

They had more fun destroying it than making it!

Our sand pyramid.

By our last day, Kiersten was feeling much better and was back jumping in the waves.

Analise after a busy day at the beach.

Eating our gelato lunch after a busy morning shopping at the Silver Sands outlet. It was so tasty we went back the next day to get more. Kiersten loved shopping for new shoes! (What will this mean when she's a teenager?)

At Pompano Joe's overlooking the beach. Kiersten and Abbie's favorite seafood!

Kiersten felt sick on Wednesday and only wanted to lay on the beach. Not the most exciting for vacation!

As usual, Abbie made friends with everyone around her and had a blast playing in the waves and sand.

The rest of the week was absolutely beautiful, with temperatures around 75 every day. We spent most of our time on the beach in Miramar. It was amazingly beautiful with green water and white sand. Analise was content playing in the sand. She was really afraid of the water and refused to come near it.

Our first day in Destin was a little cloudy and rainy, but that didn't stop us from hitting the beach. We went to a beach east of Mirmar where we found a lot of seashells--and a lot of Portugese man-of-wars that had washed up on the beach!

For spring break, we took a trip to Destin, Florida. Chris had to work, so it was just me and the girls. The car ride wasn't too bad thanks to lots of movies and the ipod that Chris loaded with my favorite music. Florida was a welcome break after our loss the week before and it was wonderful to relax on the beach and forget everything else. We stopped in Nashville overnight and took a look at the temple the next day near our hotel.
