Back from Florida!!

So if you were wondering where I had been, Chloe, my mom, my aunt, and I headed to Florida for a week. We left on April 10th and arrived down there the 11th. It was a needed get away, but at this point I need a vacation from the vacation..lol. Anyone else ever have that feeling. We had alot of fun down there. Chloe is a swimming fool. She loves the pool.

We go to Cape Coral, which is less then 10 minutes from Ft. Myers. I can remember going there as a kid and thinking it was the retirement capital of Florida, it is not like that so much anymore. Yes, there are alot of snow birds there, but it is growing so much. We stayed at my parents house there which has ocean access via boat. In other words we are on a Canal. When we went in January we were able to go out in the ocean which was really fun. This time since my dad wasn't there, and for the fact that his boat isn't a pontoon anymore, we didn't go out (with being pregnant, I am only suppose to ride in a pontoon boat, no rough waters for this pregnant lady).

One day we went to Sanibel Island, very beautiful place. At one point the Travel Channel voted this as one of the Most beautiful beaches. Now let me just say that this is not a playing beach because the sand is very "shelly" to walk on. It is, I guess you would say, a newer beach because the shells haven't been eroded to the soft fine sand we are accustom to. But very fun to go there and look for shells and just lounge in my opinion.

One day we also went to Ft. Myers Beach. This was a great day. Chloe played in the sand and water. I was totally impressed with how far out she walked in the ocean too. No just remember, we totally missed Dave when we were on vacation, but when we were there in January there was no way she was going to get in the water cause it was just too cold. We will hopefully soone get down there as a family when it is warmer. We sat in the water looking for live shells and just playing in the sand too. We actually found quite a few live shells and a crab of some sort. I have never (from what I rembmer) seen a crab before. We would pull the shells out and put them back in the sand just to watch then dig back in the sand. It was fun just chilling with her and playing.

Pretty much the other days we swam in the pool, shopped and visisted my great aunts that live down there. It was alot of fun, even though we really missed Dave.
