We went to Florida last week. We returned with wonderful memories, renewed energy, sand in our bags and seaweed in our hairbrushes. It has been years since we have spent a week with just our family. Usually, we are with other family and friends for vacations, but this year we needed some good bonding time with each other. Ellie traveled suprisingly well, except for the occasional shriek to let us know that she REALLY was ready to be out of her seat. Cassidy kept us entertained with her big four year old self, and Audrey and Will took turns keeping everyone fed and the movies playing for the trip.
We stayed at Top Sail State Park and loved it. We had a nice big cabin with room for all of us, a kitchen and a screen porch with rockers. We played at the beach, made new friends, traipsed around on rented bikes, made good use of the porch and played cards. And ate...
There is nothing like seeing swimsuit photos to spark renewed commitment to eating right and exercising. So this week it is back to real life with food that is green and actually has fiber in it. Until the next vacation...
