On our way to Florida! Dylan's 2nd plane ride.
This was an all girls trip that included myself, Dylan, Tami (my sister), Eva (my Mom), Maw Maw (the one who started this family), Aunt Jeanette, cousin Caroline, Aunt Dorothy and cousin Hillary.
On our way to the beach house and the rental car breaks down! It is overcast and looks like it will rain any minute. Lucky for us it did not. Two hours later we have a new rental car. What a long day.

We would walk along the beach after dark watching for sea turtles. They come up onto the beach and lay their eggs. You can only approach them when they are actually laying the eggs because they are in sort of a trance and do not realize you are there. If they hear you or see any light (flashlights, porch lights) any sooner they will get scared and return to the ocean, without laying their eggs.

I'm not sure who Dylan is waving at.

Happy Hour!
We had dinner one night at a seafood restaurant on the water. The dinner was awesome. Tami and I shared Feta crusted salmon. Yummy!

I am so glad we were able to take this all girls family trip together. With all of our busy lives it seems we only get to see each other for a few short hours at holiday gatherings and even then they seem so rushed. It was so much fun just hanging out, talking, eating, drinking and catching up. I hope we can do this again some day.

Our last morning in Florida. What a breathtaking view. While everyone was still asleep I went out to the porch to take a view pictures and capture the moment. I spotted a couple of dolphin swimming not far from the beach.
