Summer Vacation Recap

At the end of July, our family, my parents and my sister and her boyfriend flew to Tampa, Florida. This was Jillian's second flying experience and it went just as great as the first one. She read books and slept and was an angel. We had so much fun in Florida even though it rained every single day. On the first night, we settled into our condo and enjoyed the beach and the sunset. Jillian was having a good time.

Did I mention the rain? Despite the rain, Bryan, my dad, my sister and her boyfriend enjoyed the Florida golf.

While everybody else was golfing, Mom and I took Jillian on her first ferry ride to Shell Island. We loved it. There were only a few people on the island and we found sand dollars and huge conch shells. There is nothing cuter than Jillian in her yellow polka dot bikini and her sun hat!

Our favorite place we visited was Pass-a-Grille beach. There was no crowds. It stopped raining for a moment. The sun was out. It was heaven. The whole family had a blast and Jillian loved chasing the birds.

We also loved Caledesi Island. Unfortunately, it rained on our parade and we had to leave early. Here is Jillian with her two favorite men.

Our last Florida sunset! We loved our visit but next time, we won't go during the rainy season.
