A Sunny Florida Spring Break

It seems like I was just doing a blog update about vacationing in Florida…this time around, the trip included all of the family.

The trip started early for Evan, Avery and I. We actually left the Thursday before Spring Break actually started. It was the longest day of travel I have ever had! We left our house at 8:15 in the morning, and didn’t get to Florida until 11:30 pm, 2 hours later than we had anticipated. We had a layover in Denver for a few hours that was planned, but when we stopped in St. Louis to pick up passengers and they told us to get off the plane, well, that kind of threw us for a loop. The airport was so crowded that we didn’t have anywhere to sit. Avery was so tired that she put her backpack on the ground and laid down. It was a very long day, but we were so happy to be visiting Grandpa and Grandma!
Because Mason had a State Band Festival on Friday, Mark and Mason joined us on Saturday…they luckily didn’t have a bad traveling experience.

The area where my parents live is beautiful. We spent as much time outside as we could. The kids had a great time going to the park.....


touring the Kennedy Space Center.....














and going to the beach...twice!














We were so glad that we were able to spend some time seeing the sights of Florida, but the best part about the vacation was spending time with Grandpa and Grandma. They make everything more fun! We have alot of great memories that will help us be happy until we can see them again...thanks for a wonderful vacation!
WE LOVE YOU GRANDMA AND GRANDPA!
