Florida

First, what I learned:

• If you keep forgetting your gray card at your condo... go back for it. Seriously. It will take no time in comparison to color correcting over 200 images. (which I don't intend to do)
• 2 year olds and 11th story balconies do not mix. Not if you like to keep your belongings IN the condo rather than the sand below.
• Do not put off formal beach photos for the last day when your kids are exhausted and you have no control of the weather.
• And lastly, do not let 3 sets of busy hands (which LOVE doll houses) anywhere near a real, hand made, delicate doll house.

Now, what we did (in a nutshell):

We buried our heads in the sand...

We *attempted* surfing... but then we heard water helps.

hmmm.... maybe a little more water?

Found the water... waves? waves? nobody told me about the waves.

We "zoomed" on the lazy river...

Put our fate in the hands of our children...

Enjoyed very fine dining, as fancy as it comes...

Attended a private concert, courtesy of my Uncle...

Danced with Dolphins...

And shared some "faux-food" with the birds...

We played on the beach until we collapsed...

Learned all about being pirates...

From a real pirate ;)

Released our inner primate. (come on. Like you don't eat upside down from time to time!)

Shook hands with a Dolphin...

And avoided some of the other wildlife we stumbled upon...

Some of us prefered the sand to the ocean...

Others loved a good game of chase with the ocean...

We made sand castles & enjoyed the beach...

But most of all we connected 4 generations for a week of great fun!

Thank you Grandpa, Grandma Margaret, Uncle Don, Aunt Julie, Zach, Lesley & my family for a great great week!
