How can it be?

It's amazing to me that this place:

I love seasonal change!

Florida's prettiest lighthouse

Ok, it's kind of a dorky picture that doesn't do the lighthouse justice, but I wanted a pic of all of us WITH the lighthouse. It's the Ponce de Leon lighthouse and is just down the road from the condo where we stayed. So, so beautiful. Gunder wanted to go inside, but we should have gone earlier in the day for that. Next time. :-)

Before and after

Before the trip...


After the trip...


Notice I looked tired before we even left. I was so paranoid I'd forget something that I had made lists about checking my lists.

The beach was divine...

Mmmmmm....Disney fudge!

It's the BEST, Jerry. The BEST.

Mt Everest on the hottest day on earth

Mark and the girls said it was the most awesome ride ever. Gunder and I went and played at the Bone Yard instead, but later we all posed here with the Everest ride in the background. It was so hot we were absolutely wilting, but it was the most fun family vacation, overall, we've had yet. :-)

Heaven!

Just got back from a week in Florida with my little family and it was absolutely heavenly. We had such a good time. The kids were ready to be done and come home, but I think Mark and I could easily have stayed another week.

Pictures soon to follow!
