We got in the car (with our handy-dandy little point-and-shoot camera) and drove far far away.
What did we see... a lot!

    

We visited a very beautiful pristine beach on the gulf coast of Florida. This natural beach is protected from development and is one of a handful of beaches left with natural sand dunes in our state.



    



    

We also did silly things like getting eaten by sharks and being turtles at Gulf World Seaquarium.

    

Next we headed to the zoo where we bonded with a really friendly giraffe named Sydney.
Here Sydney and I discuss our beauty regimens... I learned a lot!



    

Stephen gets lots o'hugs and kisses from daddy and Ophelia shares her lollipop with mommy.





Stephen ponders a lion's life in captivity... and then his own.



Lastly, we took the kids bowling for the first time. We discovered that the girls loose interest fast, Stephen is a natural and daddy always wins.

    

Well, we had a fabulous time but now we are back and ready for more amazing sessions.
Can't wait!
