Family Fun in Florida





We had an amazing time in Florida--a break from the long winter, and a great visit with family. Dave and I flew down Feb 11th, and Dave stayed for a week. Elise and I were able to stay until Feb 29th, and overlapped our visit by a few days with my sister and her family.
My parents have rented a house with a pool on the canal in Cape Coral for the months of February and March. It was so nice to feel "settled" in a home-like setting, and the weather was beautiful and warm, but not overly hot, so it really felt like we had just skipped a few months and were enjoying summer a little early!!
Elise settled quickly into a routine with her Grandparents, and absolutely LOVED the pool! We were so lucky to have lots of chances to get out and enjoy the area, both with Elise in tow (and Grandpa supervising!), as well as on our own, while Grandma and Grandpa bonded with Elise. We went for walks, went kayaking with Manatees, went to beaches, biking, "hiking", swimming and running. Oh yeah, and shopping. Lots of shopping!
Thanks to Mom and Dad for such a wonderful vacation--we absolutely loved our time with you, and hope we can do it again very soon!!
