Summer Vacation

On a day where we are enjoying 9 inches of snow and a 30 degree temperature, I choose to blog about our summer vacation. Fitting, right? But, I haven't made time to do it before, and I don't want to neglect our "summer vacation", so what better time to reminisce....

So, our summer vacation this year was actually in October - I am not too late in posting! We took advantage of Uncle Kenny's incredible generosity and hit the road to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. We have 'borrowed' his condo before, but it seems more enjoyable with each visit. This year, we tried something new and drove. While a 14 hour car trip was not the most exciting, we drove through the night there and back and thankfully Josie slept pretty much the entire ride.

The temperatures were in the high 80s and low 90s everyday (did I mention it was October?!?). Incredible beach and pool weather. The only downside: half-marathon training runs were difficult in the heat and humidity. But thanks to Winn Dixie and its water fountain, I survived!

Josie thinks the beach is about the best place in the world and asks weekly when we are going back. Hopefully sooner than later! Thanks, Kenny!

We're here! Taken from Uncle Kenny's balcony. That's Josie and Daddy down there:

Naturally-born beach baby (except for the fair skin!):

She sure loves her daddy:

We found a playground, right on the beach:

She was so worn out this day that she went to take a nap wearing her tiara and fairy wings:
