Florida Vacation




Our trip to Florida was amazing. It was just what this pregnant person needed. We starting driving down on Monday at about 5:30 in the morning. I was so tired I took a little catnap right away. We made it to Florida, found a hotel checked in and headed out for dinner. We made our way around and found this wonderful shopping center and had pizza. The next day we got up and headed to the beach. It was so pretty there and the water felt great. Although it had moss in the water there was no oil. The sand was so white and pretty. We spent a couple of hours relaxing there before we headed back to clean up and head to the outlet mall. Of course we had to buy something for Channing while we were down there. He got some cute shirts from Tommy Hilfiger. We then headed to the harbor walk for dinner and to sign up for our excursion the next day. Wednesday was our anniversary, I can not believe we have already been married for 3 wonderful years. It has been the best 3 years of my life with Chase and now we are starting our little family. We woke up and headed out to our Glass Bottom Dolphin tour. It was so cool to get out on the ocean and see the water out further. We got to catch a crab and a puffer fish. We finally found one dolphin and it followed our boat around for a little bit. I have never gotten sea sick before and I am not sure if it is because of the pregnancy or the rocking of the boat but I got a little sick. I had to eat some pretzels to make the sickness go away. The captain of the boat even let me drive it was so much fun. Too bad Chase did not get to see me do it or get any pictures. That night for our anniversary we went to the Melting Pot. We were hoping it would be a lot like SImply Fondue but it wasn't at all. The food was good but not as great as Simply Fondue. The day was wonderful and relaxing as was the entire vacation which is just what we needed. We left early on Thursday morning because we thought there was going to be a tropical storm. It was raining when we left the next morning so I am sure it was a good idea. The trip was great and the best way to spend our last one as just the two of us even though technically Channing was along for the ride.
