It seems like forever since Christmas- but I thought I'd share about my family vacation anyway.
Let's start with sunny Florida! We made it to Key West this year to meet up with my Aunts, Cousin, Grandma and Grandpa. We stayed on the Coast Guard base there and had so much fun...
We LOVE Mallory Square! It has great sunsets and the best street performers!

After Key West we headed to my Mom's happy place- Sanibel Island. It is very peaceful there- we went to the beach every day and also rode bikes all over the island! My Great Grandma lives there and she is one of the best people I know! She has hundreds of different shells that she has collected from living there so long. My sister found lots and lots of sand dollars at the beach too!

At the end of our really great trip- we had to drive home- it took 3 whole days! This is how we looked leaving my Great Grams!

I'm so glad we got to go on this vacation! It was AWESOME!
