Now that the chill is in the air I think it's the PERFECT time to look back on the fun time we had on our last trip to sunny Florida (especially since Zoe and Ana and I will be going again in 2 weeks and then I'll have another whole load of photos to share! heehee). Oh how I miss the summer sun.
We spent a week at my parents' house and then headed to the Ron Jon Resort in Cocoa Beach. 10 of us. My parents, my brother's family (Jim, Erica, Avery and Grace) and us.
The view from our balcony was gorgeous.
A view in the early evening...
The lazy river was fabulous. I wish I had more time alone just to float around... but this is usually what Erica and I looked like. I'm wondering how much it would cost to put a lazy river in my back yard.
The beach was also quite nice.
I'm not a big fan of the beach. Actually... the beach is OK. It's the sand I don't like. But... I still enjoyed a bit of beach time.
The resort had a great indoor playground. So, even when we'd had enough sun (or thunder chased everyone away from the pool) the girls had fun.
The girls actually had a good time doing just about anything.
Ana enjoyed her first taste of the beach.
She also enjoyed having her toes in the ocean for the first time.
Unlike her Mommy and her big sister.... Ana has no issue being covered in sand.
An attempt was made at flying kites. It wasn't hugely successful since the wind wasn't agreeable... but the guys sure did LOVE their kites.
We were all a little sad to leave the resort... but had also had about enough.
Oh palm trees... I do miss you.
When we left the resort we had a couple of days left to spend at Grammy and PopPop's house before heading back to NJ. We enjoyed relaxing and recuperating from resort life.

Oh, man! I love Florida! We usually go every year, but not this year. :'(
It looks like you all had a wonderful time. When the weather turns nasty in January you'll have to post some more pics of this trip to make us feel better! lol
I'm dreading winter. Fall is killing me... I can only imagine how I'll deal with the winter blahs this year. I may very well have to start randomly posting sunshiny summer shots to get us all through.
WOW, LOOKS like a blast, love the family photo!
It really was a blast. And... the girls and I are headed back to my parents house again! 80 degree weather and sunshine here I come!
