A sneak away November trip to Florida

Lily's school this year had an entire week off at the beginning of November.  Stacking up some in service days, holidays and election day.  So naturally we decided to head out for the week and went to Florida.  We were joined by Kim's grandparents (Norma & Cliff) as well as Kim's mom (Donna).  Then once we got to Florida Uncle Chad (Dixon's) and Aunt Stef joined us for a couple days.  The weather was perfect (low 80s and sunny the entire time).  We got to enjoy some amazing food (fresh squeezed O.J., first time having stone crab, Tommy Bahama restaurant and a Brazilian steakhouse).  We were complete tourists (Everglades airport tours, alligator watching, beach going, trips to Sanibel & Captiva Islands, a day on a pontoon boat complete with dolphin spotting and of course lots of time playing games and swimming on our lanai. 

Remember in my last post when I said that I feel like the luckiest girl alive, well... it just keeps getting better.

Uncle Chad doesn't look as excited to give up his captains chairs.
