Back from vacation!

We had a blast on our week long vacation to Destin, FL. Oh my, what a dream it was. The days were full of water, laughter, food, and various fun nighttime activities. It truly was a blessing from God to be able to spend seven full days in the Florida sun as a family, away from all responsibility and duty. We enjoyed one another so much.

Every morning we woke at 7 a.m., ate a light breakfast, and then headed to either the ocean and sand or to the amazing pools of our condominium complex. Lunch followed in our room and then a few took naps while others went back to the pool or beach. More water in the late afternoon, right up until dinner time. We brought our own food so we ate all but three meals in the condo. Very little TV was watched, the wireless Internet connection didn't cooperate (I was not disappointed), a lot of books were read (mostly aloud) and funny conversations took place. We also ventured out and rode the race cars and played a mean game of putt-putt golf.

Andrew loves taking pictures so we put him in charge of the waterproof camera one afternoon in the pool.




Then we realized that we should encourage him to share the camera (it wasn't cheap, mind you) so we could capture him in our memory making.







You might be asking, "Where is Jawan in all these pictures?". There was one picture of me that made the roll of film but it was far too embarrassing to post. Let's just say that Andrew took it and my face didn't make it into the picture....other parts of my body did. And the water wasn't at all flattering to these areas. I'm just sayin'......
