Florida Vacation

May 27, 2015 by Melissa

I’m back from vacation.  It went way too fast (doesn’t it always?).  At least I have a ton of great memories from our trip to Anna Maria Island.  Josh, Quinn, & I flew out to Florida to meet up with my parents, sisters, brother-in-law, and nieces to celebrate my parents’ 40th anniversary.  How fun it was to be with my family for an entire week!  We spent lots of time at the beach, outside in the pool, riding bicycles, exploring the island, & eating a ton of great food.  We also got to spend some time with my Aunt Theresa and Uncle David who moved to Florida last year!  It was all just so lovely.

Here’s our vacation in pictures!

The morning of vacation: someone is excited!
