Our spring break did not get off to a smooth start. We ended up with a flat tire about 2 1/2 hours into our trip. Thankfully our spare tire on the trailblazer is a full size tire - so Jeff (and a guy who saw we were from out of town and stopped to help us) changed the tire and we were on our way again. We stopped in Kokomo for dinner and Jeff checked to make sure the spare tire was doing ok. We kept driving and decided to drive through the night. The kids did great, although a couple times in the night Elyse woke up and asked if we could stop and stay in a hotel because she couldn't sleep (even though she had just been sleeping!). We had a major traffic jam around 2am, Jeff and I actually switched drivers during the traffic jam, since he was getting tired and I was awake. The rest of our trip was uneventful - thankfully!
Since we arrived, we have gone to the beach several times, went on the boat several times, watched dolphin swim by our "backyard" and saw some dolphin up close on our boat ride. The kids have enjoyed the pool and we took a walk down to Pier 60 - where they have vendors, street performers, etc. every night and they also have a nice playground. Andrew went fishing with Jeff and they caught a couple of Spanish Mackerel. We hope to catch a couple of more, so we can have a fish dinner. Andrew was so proud to hold them up for a picture!
The house we are renting is beautiful!!!! It is on the intracoastal, so our boat is right in our backyard and it also within walking distance to the beach. They have tons of beach and pool toys at the house for us to use and the best thing is they have a wagon to help haul all our stuff to the beach! Here is a link to some pictures on facebook of our spring break so far.
