.: Florida

We are relaxed. We are rejuvinated. Thank you Florida! We had the time of our lives on this vacation to say the least. It was a much needed relaxing, fun, spur-of-the-moment type of trip that we will never regret doing. Here are some favorites.

Favorite #1: Our resort and top floor 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite. Complete with a kitchen, living room, and balcony with this view. It was beautiful.

Favorite #2: Devotions from the top floor balcony with a view, and smell, of the ocean in the background. I loved the time I spent in quiet reflection with God, and the many conversations we had. One in particular I remember was a devotion about God being our refuge. I cried from that balcony from missing our baby and Wade & Alissa's baby. I felt God's presence come because for the next ten minutes there were two absolutely beautiful, graceful birds that just flew around right in my view. Was that a sign of God telling me that they are okay? I think so. God is great.

Favorite #3: Laying out by the pool or ocean everday. Another favorite - palm trees! We had beautiful weather during our stay. Thank goodness for SPF 30, we definately needed it!

Favorite #4:Walks on the beach with the love of my life. We needed this, God knew we needed this. I think I fell more in love everyday we spent there. The memory of walking hand in hand along the beautiful ocean while picking up seashells will remain with me forever. Thank you God for my amazing husband.

Favorite #5: Game nights complete with Long Island Iced Tea, Scrabble and Uno with Wade & Alissa. We had way too much fun.

Favorite #6:The rescue aquarium we visited. Complete with sea turtles, sting rays, otters, and dolphins. Good find Alissa :)

Favorite #7: The amazing and delicious restaurants we ate at every night. This included "Gators" and "Bubba Gumps". While we were sitting on the pier at Gator's we saw 3 dolphins swimming around in the ocean.

Hows that for ambience.

Favorite #8: John's Pass. A whole little village of beachy shops. We enjoyed more dolphin watching on the pier and did a little shopping. Oh, and I can't forget the humorfous and delicious ice cream cone I enjoyed - chocolate with peanut butter, I've never had anything like it! YUM!
