FLORIDA BOUND!

My hubby and I recently headed East (and South) for a two week vacation.  Our first week was spent in my hometown of Cincinnati, and the second week in sunny Florida!  Is it snowing where you live?  (It was not in Florida, BTW)    



Of course we have our famous hats on 


We had a great time visiting family and friends and it was truly hard to see everyone simply because of the fact I realize how much I miss everyone, severely, and how amazing our friends and family are.  We know God has called us to Washington State, but a bit of my heart will always be in Ohio.  Sniff sniff.... Okay, enough of the sappyness and on to the fun stuff, PICTURES of our sunny Florida (and not Cincinnati because I forgot to take pictures) trip.  

The picture above was taken at Gasparilla Island and here is where we saw dolphins swimming in the ocean.  Several times!  So awesome!  We also saw really cool jelly fish.    





Jellyfish is in the top left hand corner, we saw about a dozen of them swimming in the water

Beautiful view of the sunset after a fun day at the beach!  















Beautiful sunset





Vacation would not be complete without a game of putt putt... 
right next to the ocean!  





Ready for a hole in one





Blind Pass Beach where we found tons of shark teeth, super cool!  





Love being with my best friend
