Oh, Summer! Miss you already!

Florida! 2009 Vacation!! Whoo hoo!

Well it only took a few years but we finally went on a non-holiday vacation. We were able to go down to to Florida and spend a week on the coast. The Atlantic Ocean was awe inspiring with the waves crashing against the shore and the vastness of the water and sky would humble the biggest giant. It was beautiful!

We were lucky enough to be right on the beach, just a few stories up. It afforded us beautiful views and easy beach access. G'Ma and G'Pa really made the trip happen for us. They organized the housing, the food, the activities, the car, and the I think they may have even ordered the perfect weather! All we had to do was enjoy it : ) I have so many pictures of our trip it will take about 3 or 4 posts to get even a portion of it in!

Troy and I were so excited to have Owen visiting the beach. He was tentative for about a second with the big waves and soon he was running full force into them. Even as he was being tossed and pulled he was thrilled. The rip tide was very strong, so the bunch of us would form a line in the water and catch the little booger when the tide pulled him out. Talk about scary from mom's perspective. I thought my heart would fall out every time the waves pulled and pushed him, but that child just laughed and ran back in.

So you can see that we spent the majority of our time on the beach. At least once or twice a day we were playing in the sand and enjoying the waves. I miss it. I want to go back.
