We are home from our wonderful Florida vacation. I love the beach and every time we go to the beach I wonder why I live in Ohio!!
After a long drive we arrived at the dock and waited for our Captain Russell who would be driving us 4 miles off the coast of Florida to Dog Island.
We found our vehicle for the week that would get us around the island, and it was sweet!!!!!!
That’s Joe giving Jake a quick driving lesson (“Now, this hear is your rear view mirror. )
We literally spent as much time as we possibly could have on the beach.
Dog Island was really a wild place. It had no paved roads or stores and only 11 full time residents. It was perfectly beautiful.
We spent some time on the bay side as well, fishing and catching mollusks and crabs.
The beach house we stayed in had every possible amenity we could have needed! It was soooo cute too!
After 4 days we left for Destin Beach for my husbands conference. Which is code word for buffet breakfast, buffet lunch and buffet dinners for 3 nights and 4 days which = 10 additional lbs!! We spent those days on the beach as well.
And even managed a para sailing trip. (For them NOT me! someone had to take photos!!)
But now we are home and getting back in our groove. And two of the kids are sick while the rest of us inhale remedies, gargle, and consume loads of healthy foods to keep our immunity up!
I will be posting some crafts and recipes soon, I promise!
wow Kristin, we missed you guys, but I think it had to be really hard to leave that beautiful, warm, sandy place and come back here!!! I can hardly look at the pictures without getting a little teary eyed over the thought of all that warmth and sun!
Fantastic! Love the pics, envy the island. Looks like a magical trip.
Hoping you’re all on the mend and resting easy.
Oh my, that looks like just my kind of holiday. Actually maybe not, I’d never be able to go home!
Looks like a fabulous place & what amazing pictures! WOW
