Trip to Florida

Dave was in Florida on business for most of the month of December ~ so, his last week there we decided to join him. What a trip! It was so nice, we didn't want to leave and come back to the arctic West. It was pretty funny listening to "let it snow" in summer-like weather. The majority of the trip ~ it was high 70s to 80 degrees. We got to stay in a condo RIGHT on the beach, eat fresh seafood overlooking the ocean, explore all the crazy wildlife & of course, head up to Disney World for a day. What a blast. I can honestly say "I LOVE Florida in December!" (And it was quite nice getting to see "Gee", or Dave, again ~ that's what Addie calls him).


Ad's first gingerbread house ~ half-eaten ;)

Armadillo running away from me.

A crane we literally walked right up to on the pier.

Pelican





Pretty views from our condo. This was the sunrise one morning.

Hard to tell, but this was the view of the ocean from our living room.


Same view from the bedroom ~ so nice to fall asleep to at night!

Our condo, at night ~ all decked out for Christmas :)

It was so sad, Addie loved the beach the first day but woke up in the middle of the night with nightmares that night & wouldn't go near it the rest of the trip :(

Eating fresh seafood right on the water (note the background).


Crazy huge crocodiles on the side of the road!!
