We had the most fabulous trip to Florida the first week of July. Let me tell you all about it. We got in the car Wednesday afternoon, with Grandma, Aunt Liz and Nico in a second car behind us (mom had to stay behind to work a few days). We drove and drove, till we got to Myrtle Beach! That's where Uncle Andy and Timmy (the husky) live! We were in Myrtle Beach for the 4th of July and some fun fireworks. We soaked up some sun, and also got to see the fancy golf store where Andy works. Gavin tried out a putter.
Friday night, we all got in the car again (with Andy, too!), and drove through the night to Captiva Island, Florida. That's where we spent the rest of the week!! Gramps rented a big house with a pool for us all to stay in. There was a second house on the property where a bunch of Jarrett's friends were staying - including a little girl that's one of my new BFFs! We had SO MUCH FUN all week!
K shared all her dresses with me, and we even wore them in the pool one day!
There were lizards everywhere, and beautiful sunrises. Daddy and Gavin even went fishing at sunrise one morning.
We went on lots of boat rides on the pontoon Daddy rented for the week.
Mommy finally made it to Florida late Tuesday night - she was in our room when Gavin and I woke up Wednesday morning! We were really excited to see her!
Wednesday night, we practiced for the wedding the next day, then got cupcakes and went for a sunset cruise in the boat!
Thursday was THE WEDDING!!! We all helped Maria get ready for the ceremony.
Daddy helped set up the chairs.
Then we all got dressed and headed to the beach.
I helped spread flower petals for Maria to walk along.
Then Maria and Gramps came down the aisle.
It was a beautiful ceremony (if a little hot).
Gavin played in the sand the whole time.
We got back to the house, and it was time to PARTY!!!
We had one more day at the beach on Friday, and then we had to head home to Maryland. We left Saturday morning and drove for a long time. We were able to stop in North Carolina to have dinner with Daddy's friend from high school and her little boy. What a fun way to unwind a little on a long ride! Back into the car, and we finally got home very early Sunday morning. It was such a fun week!
