Our Trip to Florida

We were blessed with the chance to go to Florida for 7 nights in January recently. We ended up staying in Embassy Suites south of Fort Myers. Dan and I have been reading and praying about creative perspectives and solutions for our money. One of the results was this trip debt free! Thank you God!


The kids and Dan bird watching at Sanibel Island Conservation Area, they learned to walk quietly and use binoculars. We even saw a pink bird much to Victoria's delight and Sarah spotted a lizard.

We met up with friends staying in Florida. We had a great time at the beach!
School did continue at a slower pace. Daddy kept up with the reading for Victoria and Jonathan, I think they fell asleep before he finished that night!
Sarah reading Roman history in Florida, now that is a clash of cultures!
All ready for dinner at the Olive Garden! Does any else miss that restaurant besides me?
Getting ready to drive back home
We followed this truck out of Florida. Wonder where all those oranges were going? Makes me think about shopping locally. I wouldn't want to give up oranges in winter though.

Dan's Broken Foot

Before I tell about our first ever trip to Florida I need to update this blog on our latest event. Yes my husband is sporting a lovely cast! Thankfully it came off a few weeks before Florida. Enough time to get his feet wet walking again ( literally )!
