Florida (St. Pete) was a blast!
Barrett and Hudsyn rode on their first BIG airplanes. We also went on a guided deep-sea fishing encounter (you’ll notice I reeled in the biggest one 😉 – even if I didn’t hook it 😂). We didn’t catch anything big enough to keep – but Hudsyn brought a few of the bait fish who became her “new best friends” back to the room with her. She carried them around in her pockets and kept them with her until we had to tell her they were stinking up the room and had to go! But don’t worry… we got a picture of them first 😉.
We (Isaac and I) ate lots of good sea food while the kids ate grilled cheese and chicken strips at every restaurant 🙄 – although Barrett did try (and like) our alligator bites 😊. We did some pretty entertaining people watching at the airport, resort, pool, beach, and when we were out and about – people are just so funny!
Although we didn’t plan much at all – we managed to stay pretty busy. But, between the time we spent pool-side, hanging out at the beach, “battling 🤣” the waves, laying out, building sand castles and other creations, looking for shells, and checking out the town, we still had time to cool off, snuggle, and recoup in our nice cool room!
We visited John’s Pass in Madeira Beach where we saw the draw bridge in action, ate at Bubba Gumps, had drinks, checked out candy stores and other shops, and visited the Alligator Attraction where we saw lots of cool animals and the kids got to hold an alligator!
We took evening walks on the beach and watched the sun set from the top deck of the pool bar/restaurant.
Before we left, the kids built a fort in the hotel room and needed a picture to document it 😃.
We were really lucky when it came to our travel and flights. On the way to Florida things were on time and could not have been better. When we were headed home, there were a couple of minor set backs but nothing major and we made it home only 30-45 minutes later than we originally thought we would.
I’m so glad we got to experience this with our babies – they’ve wanted to see the beach for so long! But I was so glad to be home in my own bed Tuesday night!
So much fun!!!! You’ve got so many great pictures! What a fun time! Love you guys💖💖💖
