We are back from Florida. What an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G trip!!!! We left on the red eye and we were kinda scared how Logan would do, but he did GREAT. He slept the whole entire way. We arrived in Florida at 9am. We had the whole day ahead of us and to top it off it was Mother's Day! We got our car and went to Marc's uncle's house and had breakfast. We then went and checked into our hotel and decided to take a little nap. The hotel is amazing. this is where Marc's uncle works and we had the room for free for the entire week. It opened up to the pool that had a tiki bar that was right beside it. There were tons of palm trees surrounding the pool. It is such a great atmosphere. After nap, we went back to his Uncle's house to enjoy the pool. It was such a beautiful day. The water felt great. After swimming we had Mother's Day dinner at his uncle's house. We then went back to the hotel to turn in and to get ready for the next day.......
Monday...........
Beach Time!!! Beach Baby Logan was all ready to go. After breakfast we set out to Ft Myers Beach. It was about a 7 minute drive from the hotel. Not bad at all. We got to the beach and put up our umbrella and towels and enjoyed the water. Logan had a blast. We went shelling and hung out in the water. We stayed for about 3 hours then decided that we needed to get some lunch. We went to this awesome beach resturant that was on the beach and had lunch. After lunch we walked around some shops, then let Logan go back in the water 1 more time. We headed back to the hotel and hit the pool then got ready for dinner at a wonderful Steak House in Ft Myers. Long day at the beach and in the sun.........bedtime.
Tuesday.............
We woke up and enjoyed the pool in the morning then got ready to head to San Isabel island. This island is known for shelling. We got there and the water was bright blue and the sand was white. There were shells everywhere. We set up our stuff and headed into the water. it was great. you could reach your hand down and come up with a hand full of shells. Logan brought home tons of shells. We spent most of the day there and then decided to head back. On the way back we stopped at one of the many outlet malls. Of course I hit the Coach store and drooled over everything then whined the rest of the day that I HAD to have a certain purse. I think that it may just be waiting for me for my birthday lol. I might have "accidentally" seen a receipt.
We then headed to a resturant called the Shrimp Shack. It was so good! Logan did not have a nap so after the dinner we went back to the hotel to give him a bath and get him ready for bed. Marc and I were secretly glad that he was sleepy so that we could spend some quality time together. We got Logan to sleep and spent time on the porch (right outside the door we could hear Logan) having drinks and great conversation. Had to hit the bed to get ready for Wednesday.........
Wednesday.............
We woke up and ate breakfast at the hotel. We left the hotel and went to Ron Jon's surf shop. Marc had been dying to go there. We got a few souvieners and then head down to Ft Myers Beach. We had reservations for the Pirate Cruise. This is a kids cruise that specialized in kids activities. They did face painting, dancing, treasure hunts and games. Logan had a blast. He loved it. before the cruise we ate on the water and it was beautiful. After the Cruise we went back to the beach area where Marc treated me to a henna tattoo. I got a dolphin on my foot. Needless to say the following day i got sunburned on my feet and now you cant see the tatoo. We headed back to the hotel to give Logan a nap and to get ready for date night. Marc's Uncle got us tickets to a dinner show. We dropped off Logan at his Uncle's house, the headed out. We arrived and had dinner and then the show was "The Wedding Singer". It was alot of fun and it was great having quality time together. After the show we went to a wine/cigar bar. It was fun. I got a martini and he got a beer so no wine there. lol. We returned and picked Logan up and headed to the hotel........bedtime.
Thursday............
We woke up and headed down to Ft Myers Beach. We had a 11:30am appointment...........for........parasailing. It was absolutely amazing. They took us out on a small transfer boat which took us out to the parasailing boat. We harnessed in and took off for parasailing.The boat took off and we shot up in the air. it was so fun. i love it and I am addicted to it now. We were in the air for about 20 minutes then the boat slowed down and dipped us in the after then we shot back up. We dipped again then went back up in the air for about 10-15 more minutes. I am so glad that we did this. It was a GREAT experience. After parasailing we stayed at the beach a few more house to give "beach baby" more time in the water. After spending time in the water we went shopping at some of the stores by the beach. After shopping we went to eat at "Crab Pincher". The food was so good. Afterwards we went back to the hotel to hit the pool then to pack so that we were ready to go on Friday.
Friday..............departure day :(
We woke up and went to the pool then took our showers and headed to the airport. the flight home was long, but Logan did really well and he slept all the way home.
We are home now and are seriously thinking about moving to Florida. It would not be any time soon, maybe a 5 year plan? the cost of living is great out there and I really want beach baby to grow up by the water. Overall it was a great trip with my family and I would not trade being with both of them on a family vacation for anything int he world. I will post pictures when I get them!!!
