VACATION!!!!!

Wess and I got to take a real vacation for the first time in a L-O-N-G time! It was so relaxing and fun to get away and spend some time with each other! The boys stayed with Dad and Mom while we went to Marco Island on the Gulf Coast in Florida. We had a great time! Enjoy the pictures.......

At XNA waiting for our flight....our first delay.....

and we're off! It is so pretty to fly! I love it every time!
Yeah!! The beach!!
Our Resort...let the relaxing begin!
The sunset was one of our favorite times! God is so good to us!


My umbrella and chair was my favorite spot...especially after I burnt to a crisp....I stayed tucked under it pretty tight the last couple of days!

Another beautiful sunset....

Wednseday, we drove over to Miami and down through the Keys.
Miami Beach


Back at our beach, we had fun drawing in the sand.....

and having camera wars (Wess with the camera and me with the camcorder)!
Thursday evening we ate at one of the local favorites, Snook Inn, which is a restaraunt that sits on a dock so you can see boats come in, etc. It rained for a minute and then God gave us a rainbow to enjoy while we ate our meal! Look hard at the sky and you can see it.


Quinton required that we do a lot of shell hunting! We came home with some beautiful shells, one had a live "something" in it right up until the last day and Wess finally got the "thing" out of it so we could bring it home to Quinton....you cannot even imagine the lovely aroma that shell has!

The Manager at the rental car place realized that we were on vacation without our kids and upgraded us to this Mustang for NO extra $$!! We really appreciated it, as the two booster seats we normally cart around don't really fit too well in sports cars! We'll be retired before we get to drive something like this again!

The view from our room and balcony......

We had a really great time! On Friday, we parasailed for the first time and it was so awesome! We got to see a group of dolphins swimming in the ocean. I can't believe I got Wess up there, but we both had a lot of fun!
