We spent our last weekend before school at the beach. Tyler has been constantly begging us to go to the beach for weeks now (every time we get in the car) so we knew we needed to get a trip in. Guy's friend that he works with let us stay in his condo again near Clearwater and it was wonderful. Seriously it was the perfect trip because a) it was completely free, yet it felt like we were staying in a nice hotel b) it's only about 30 minutes from our house c) giant sandbox for kids= total relaxation for us d) private beach means no crazy crowds of people which is my favorite part. His place is on the 17th floor and that equals some amazing views of the ocean. Honestly there is nothing better then waking up, going out to the balcony, and looking out over endless blue. It's breathtaking! Anyway, we had some fun and it was nice to feel like we got away for a night before the school schedule began.
I definitely think we have taken for granted having the ocean so close to us while we've been here. I know we'll miss it if/when we move, but I'm ready for a change too. Maybe a place that actually has seasons for once?? (my kids have never even owned a real winter coat!) We shall see :)

Wow, beautiful views! There was a short period of time when we thought we were going to live in Florida, and the beach was the thing I was the most excited about. That was nice of Guy's friend to let you stay at his condo! And it's funny that they've never needed a winter coat. What did you do if you went home for Christmas?
Melody: We've bought them jackets, just not real winter ones that you need for snow. We always just layered them a ton when we traveled for Christmas and called it good :)
I haven't looked at your blog for a week or so and I missed so many posts! How fun that BB is in school-Max started a preschool I can just drop him off at and it was a little hard to leave him and wonder what he is up to all day! Also I love your blog books-I need to do that, mine won't be as great as yours because I struggle with being a good blogger!
YAY! You put the comment option back on.
Hannah was just talking about the beach today. I totally wish we lived closer to one. Your weekend sounds divine!
Miss you guys so much!
Also- Guy isn't still working for Bovis, right? What company is he with now?
Awesome Pictures...so jealous!! That beach is gorgeous!! We hope you are feeling well.
