The one with the family vacation...

After the robbery, we were able to still take our planned vacation to Siesta Key. A week long of no work, no schedules and no baths... yes, no baths (or hardly any...). The 2 story, 3 bedroom beach house we rented also had a pool. So I took on the motto- hey if you went swimming, you took a bath! We didn't spend much time at the beach like we planned. Cooper was more interested in the pool and Addison loved floating in the pool. Anytime she was cranky in the house, you could bring her to the pool and she would flip on her happy switch. So needless to say we are all a little water logged this week. There really isn't much to disclose from the trip, because we were such bums. The house had a grill, so we grilled out each day and night. We saw the sun set one night at the beach. Usually we were cooking or vegged out on the couch to relaxed to move to catch it every night. The beaches are gorgeous over there. Yards and yards of white sand before you get to the crystal clear water. No waves, so there weren't any surfers and no sea shells. I didn't find any sharks teeth like I was hoping. But Cooper did enjoy building sand castles, while Josh, mself and Addie sat in the shade! I must be getting older when I prefer the shade over a nice bronze tan.

We did get to see my old college roomies, Erin and Shannon. It was like a mini reunion. They came over Labor Day. Its funny reminiscing on how much times have changed. Shannon just had a baby girl a month ago, Erin and Ben are getting married next year and I have 2 kids.... what?! It seems like yesterday we were back in college without a care in the world.
