FLORIDA!!

So we just got back from Florida...sigh...It was wonderful, well for me at least. Poor Nathan was stuck inside for 3 days doing "conference" stuff. I spent my days sitting by the pool, soaking up the sun, and reading some good books. It was great. Maybe the best part about it was, for me, not having anything scheduled. Sometimes you're on vacation and you're going, going, going. This was nice to just relax and not be in a hurry to get anywhere. I didn't have to worry about my kids; feeding them, entertaining them, etc. Thanks mom, dad, and Lauren for taking care of them!! They had a great time too. Two visits to the Children's Museum, with the Barbie Exhibit the highlight, Incredible Pizza Company, The Princess and the Frog, Chick-fil-a kids night, library, cousins, etc.
So, anyway, the weather was perfect. It only rained once, and that was in the middle of the night. It got a little windy at times by the pool, but other than that, it was great! We also made a stop at the Orlando Temple, some high priced outlets, (I thought outlets were supposed to be cheaper??..everything from Claire's, Gap, and Nike to Coach, Tommy Hilfiger, and Banana Republic) and Cocoa Beach.

Monday night Nathan was invited to a dinner by a large company. They had lots of yummy food, the best being lobster ravioli. Lots of delicious desserts too!
Cheers with my pool buddy. One of Nathan's classmates stayed in our hotel with his wife also. We hung out by the pool together. Oh, and don't worry, mine is non-alcoholic. :-)

The Orlando Temple. It was beautiful!
This is the Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach. It was a pretty cool place.
The beautiful beach and ocean....
This was the front of our hotel. I thought the fountain was pretty. That dang sun is shining too bright!!

We had a wonderful time and I can't wait to go back!
