Back home

We traveled to Florida and back and had the best time ever. I think that it is always so good to get away and come back refreshed and ready to face the same old stuff with a new spirit. It is always exhausting to get everything and everyone ready to go on vacation, but the memories that we make and the fun that we have is always worth it. Some of the highlights of our trip were...
1. This was our first trip that we didn't take a stroller - everyone walked! (except when they "had" to be carried somewhere.)
2. Our big rental car - a Tahoe - which was initially called by Marky a "taco". The kids liked driving in something other than a van.
3. Seeing Grandpop Henricks, cousins Trase and Trisdyn, and Aunt Lynn and Uncle Stephen.
4. The drive to Naples was shorter this time. 2 hours instead of 5
5. Coming down the street to our favorite spot - the Ritz Carlton
6. Sleeping until 10:00 am one morning!
7. Michael got his first pair of flip flops
8. Ritz Carlton staff in the hotel and at the pool and on the beach.
9. Canoeing on the canal
10. Mommy and Daddy getting pictures taken on the beach.
11. Cable tv in the hotel room
12. playing video games with Trase
13. 90 degree ocean water
14. no sunburn or sickness!!!!!
15. the house was clean (just like mommy left it) when we got home!!!
