Florida Vacation

Here is a picture of our timeshare in Destin, Florida. Our actual timeshare is in Orlando, but you can use any of the resorts they own. We actually have not been to the one we own yet but, we have been to five others.

There were butterflies everywhere in Destin. There we over a dozen on this bush, I hope you can see them.

Here is Aunt Ali and Gretchen.

The three girls. The three of us had fun talking about Matthew and Ali's upcoming wedding.

Group shot out at lunch.

Another group shot out at lunch.

Gretchen loved the bubbles from the hot tub going up her swim diaper. Do not worry the heat was turned off. The hot tub was actually colder than the pool.

Gretchen when we first brought her into the pool. She was still deciding how she felt about the water.

We had a great time in Florida. Although Nathan and I realized that vacations with a baby are not as relaxing as vacations without babies. Gretchen slept through her first airplane take off, so we thought we were free and clear. Well, we became the family with the baby having a meltdown the last twenty minutes of our connecting flight. Luckily, she was happy on both return flights.

It was wonderful to spend time with Sara, Mathew, and Ali. Gretchen loved the heated pool at our timeshare. We did not try the water at the beach with her, it was too cold. At the beach she preferred to watch the cars go by on the road rather than the water. We forgot to bring our camera to the beach. Aunt Sara got some great shots of Gretchen at the beach though. I will post them later.

While in Destin the three girls (Sara, Ali, and I) did some damage at the outlet mall. It was great getting the chance to get to know my future sister-in-law better. Nathan and Matthew went go cart racing. Our last full day in Florida we all tried our hand at the driving range. At the beginning I was not evening hitting the ball, but by the end I was hitting it on the first try. I will be signing up for the LPGA this week
