We are now home. Surrounded by piles of laundry, an empty refrigerator, and no ocean in sight.
As much as we miss it, there really is nothing like peeing in your own toilet, and sleeping in your own bed. It's good to be home.
Our last night in Florida, we decided to hit up our favorite spot to eat, the Crab Trap.
And I may have gone camera crazy that last night.
I'm hoping as much grief I get for my excessive photo taking, that one day these pictures will be appreciated.
I want to thank my parents for the vacation.
Lord knows it took them to get us there.
And because of their sacrifice to get us there, we had our first beach family vacation in 16 years.
The last time we all went to the beach together, Cody was just a baby, and Nathan and Hope, weren't even around yet.
Nor were these two.
So, that last night I was determined to do two things.
Get us all to the beach for some pictures.
And plant myself there to watch the sunset.
My very favorite time to be at the beach is at night.
The beauty is undeniable.
So, I just sat there and took it all in and got all reflective. I do that at times.
Thankful for my family, and what a blessing they are.
Thankful for God's creation.
And thankful for a great week.
Until we meet again....
