Jay had a conference in Fort Lauderdale, FL and we lucked out that it was over the kids Spring Break as well. We drove down a couple days early so we could spend some family time together before Jay had to attend the conference. We were a little nervous with the drive since it was going to take us about 25 hrs to get there. We weren't sure how the kids were going to handle being in the car that long especially since we were going to drive through the night. Well, we couldn't have asked for better children on the whole trip. They were FANTASTIC!!! We had a lot of fun in the car and down in Florida. We will definitely being doing it again.

The first day we got to the beach.
Brett was not so sure about the Ocean. |
 |
Drew loved the ocean and jumping in the waves.
He had no fear at all! |
The view from our hotel room a little bit of the ocean and a little of the pool. We were at the end of the hallway, so we only had one room even near us, so it was so nice and quiet.

| Loving all the sand! |
 |
| Look at the excitement on his face. |
 |
| So relaxing! |
 |
| Building one of many sand castles. |
 |
| I couldn't keep these 3 out of the ocean. |
Chasing the waves.......
The waves chasing them......
 |
| That is about as far as Brett would go. |
 |
| Much happier here..... |
 |
| Brett chasing the sea gulls. We really had to watch him as he would just keep chasing them. |
 |
These portuguese manowar's were all over the beach one of the mornings. They are a lot like jelly fish so the kids had to be very careful not to touch or step on them.
We also saw a squid and a jelly fish!
The kids loved all the little creatures that would come up each day. |
 |
| Check out those waves! |
 |
| Reed finally taking a break from the waves. |
 |
| So exhausted couldn't even finish his lunch. |
