Florida Beach Vacation

We just got home from a wonderful, fun-filled vacation to Florida! The weather was a bit chilly, but at least it was warmer than home. Our dear friends, Tim & Sondra, came with us and we had a blast vacationing together. We enjoyed morning walks on the beach, afternoons watching the waves and feeling the crazy wind in our faces, and fabulous dinners out each evening. This trip was extra special since it was Brooks' first time at the beach. He loved feeling the sand and crawling in it! He was pretty good about trying not to eat it - once he discovered he didn't like the taste of it! I was so thankful he didn't get it in his eyes. And I am also very thankful how great of a traveller he is. We can't wait to take him again once he can play more and experience it as a toddler! Being back at the beach, the very same beach I grew up vacationing on, brought back so many fond childhood memories and I can't wait to pass those memories on to Brooks as he gets older. It was nearly next to impossible to pick out a few pictures to post, but I did my best at narrowing it down.

This was Brooks' first time feeling the sand between his fingers

Looks as though mommy needs to buy him some shades...love the lil squinty face!

One of our dinners was at Hog's Breath BBQ...very good but only wish we could have stayed for the live band

Brooks feeling like he is on top of the world with daddy!

This was my personal favorite dinner spot...Harry T's. We sat right on the bay and were able to see dolphins in the water (I somehow missed them!)

Our feet in the sand...couldn't see well through our camera lens, so this was the best I could do at taking this picture
