Yes! We went to Florida in the middle of October, and let me tell you it was fabulous! The weather was awesome, and we were able to spend everyday on the beach playing in the sand. It never rained until the last night we were there, so it was great. Jack and Rylie are at the perfect age right now, and loved getting to play on the beach for hours at a time ( under very heavy layers of sunscreen mind you!). However, Jack had acquired a very nice tan and his hair had turned almost white by the end of the trip! Rylie on the other hand is our very fair child, so we were just thrilled that she didn't burn! They had a blast looking for seashells ( okay - so maybe that was more exciting for Mommy and their aunts, but I do think they looked for them.... like once!) Their greatest joy was just playing in the sand, making all sorts of concoctions and building sandcastles or volcanoes. It was such a great relaxing vacation, and so nice to have our house within walking distance of the beach. The best part was that we were able to go with my whole family, mom/dad, grandma, sisters and husbands, and cousins. We had such a wonderful time of visiting and hanging out, making memories. It has already been suggested that we make this an annual trip- sounds good to me! Although this time next year, we will be making the trip with 3 kids instead of 2, so that might change the dynamics- traveling with a 6 year old, 3 year old, and 5 month old, for 12 hours, hmmmmmmm........ well I have a year to get my mind wrapped around that idea!
