We spent the first full day in Sunny FL soaking up the sun, running errands and visiting with Aunt Diane, Uncle Reggie and my grandmother. That evening we took the girls to Boynton Beach right as the sun was setting and the weather was beautiful!
On Thursday morning, we all drove down to Hollywood to go swimming with Aunt Simone and Uncle Norman and their son Daniel. The weather was beautiful and the food they prepared delicious!
The girls napped in the car for awhile and then we all headed over to Uncle Camille and Aunt Nicole's home, also in Hollywood. We got to visit cousins Lisa and her family, Natalie and her family (except for Alex), Martine, Real & Jeanette, Nancy (famous for her beautiful cakes!)
On Friday, we drove out to Tampa to visit my cousin Jenny, her husband George and their new twins Jeanette and Muna. This girls are so beautiful! What blessings! We didn't stay long as we'd arrived quite late and spent the evening at the laQuinta hotel down the street.
On Saturday, Jenny and George too me, the girls, Mom, Memere and Danielle to MOSI , the Museum of Science and Industry in Tampa. They had a great deal going on and we all got in for peanuts! We were able to see an IMAX Dome film "Born to be Wild", visited their "Kids in charge!" Science center for toddlers and a pretty interesting Bug Art Exhibit. Danielle and I finished the day by eating at a local BBQ place with the girls before heading to bed. Though they struggle without cribs during the second night in the hotel, I really am impressed overall with how they handled sleeping in a bed.
On Sunday we ate breakfast at a local Village Inn and took some pictures at Jenny and George's home. Afterward, we headed back to Boynton Beach (about a 4-4 1/2 hour drive) and arrived there quite late. The girls had a bath and headed to bed...it had been a long day.
On Monday, I took the girls to visit Uncle Bob and Emmet as well as Maria and Aunt Sandi at Bob's time share in Pompano beach. The two happened to be visiting for vacation and it was perfect timing for the girls to meet their great-great Uncle! This afternoon Danielle and I took the girls back to Boynton beach for some fun in the sun and sand! The girls seemed to have a great time and Alivia and I even saw a black snake up close (a little too close for my liking!) When we headed back, it was unfortunately time to start preparing for the trip home.
On Tuesday morning, bright and early, we all packed it up and said good-bye to Florida. We had a nice time and sure do hope to see these folks soon!
