HOME SWEET HOME

So, we are (sadly) back home from our trip to Florida. We had a fantastic time and even the long days in the car went pretty well. Thankfully AJ never got sick, not once, out of 6 full days in the car, split up of course. We headed to Jacksonville first and spent a week at the beach house. Brady's cousin Lisa and her husband and two boys (Cam and Zach) came in on our last full day and we had a great time catching up with them. The boys loved meeting and playing with their cousins! Sadly they live in NC so we don't see much of them.

Once our relaxing week in JAX was over we hopped in the van and headed to the Florida Keys. We spent three days in Key West and never wanted to leave! The water was unbelievably beautiful. It was so green and blue that it looked dyed. Incredible! The actual beaches though leave a little to be desired because they are all man-made, the sand is actually rocks and crushed coral (quite rough on the feet), and there are no waves. We also really enjoyed walking around Mallory Square and taking in all the shops and historical sights. And let me tell you, this city literally never sleeps! They have their first happy hour at 7AM and then they just continue on into the wee hours. It's crazy!

There will be pics but we are still trying to get settled back in so I just haven't had a chance to download them yet. Stay tuned.....
