Tuesday, June 17, 2008 - Florida Vacation
We just got back from enjoying our Christmas present from my Dad. He took us to Florida along with my sister and her two boys. He rented a house for the week in Orlando.
(Click on the picture to take you All Star Vacation Homes. You can view the house we stayed at)
The house was fantastic. It had 4 bedroom, 3 bathrooms, private pool and hot tub, fully loaded kitchen, two living rooms, all the comforts of home and then some!
We left around 5:30 pm Friday (6-6) and drove all through the night. We were so excited to finally get there. Of course the boys (Cameron and his two cousins, Jesse and Bryan) couldn't wait to get into our private pool. To tell you the truth, neither could I.
If you were to ask Cameron what was a highlight of his trip, he will say almost without reservation that it was the pool.
So of course I volunteered to watch the boys in the pool while Dad and my sister went shopping for some food. LOL It really wasn't any sacrifice at all.
Sunday was our first full day in Florida. We were able to meet up with my life long friend Kelly and her family. Kelly and I have been friends since we were in first grade! I can't believe that was 27 years ago!
She just had a baby in January and we were there on the Sunday that they dedicated her at church. What a blessing that was to be there for that wonderful occasion, and to meet her newest member of the family!
There was a luncheon at her home following the dedication. It was such a lovely party and very nicely done, but a little exhausting.

Wow, what a great gift! And to be able to see your friend too. I can't imagine having a friend for that long-- what a tremendous blessing!
That pool sure does look fun to swim in... it is SO hot here, I can't even think straight. I am so thankful for air conditioning!

Wow!! That house and pool are just AWESOME! I'm LOL at your "sacrifice" to stay and watch the boys rather than get groceries. :o)
