Spring Break in Florida

March 09, 2012  •  Leave a Comment

After the storms moved through Kentucky Friday night, we packed up and headed south for the week.

We brought the kids to Florida to spend Spring Break with their grandparents. My parent’s spend the winter in Bowling Green, Florida, in a little house in an orange grove, east of Tampa and South of Orlando. Their place is always great for relaxing, eating, peeling oranges, and watching good television. We also get to see our long-time friends the Saddlers and the Duke’s. Natalie’s Mom, JW, and Brent, have been enjoying the beach this winter, a little further south near Naples. They then moved up the coast to Tarpon Springs to meet up with us this week.

The temperatures were really nice and the kids got some beach time in at Honeymoon Island. We spent Thursday walking around the old town of Tarpon Springs, and got to eat at our favorite seafood spot, Crabby Bills. Friday, I took Cameron and Brent to see the Yankees play the Braves in Tampa. Later that evening, we went back to the beach at Honeymoon Island one last time before coming back home.

The old looking photos were taken with the Hipstamatic on my iPhone.

I was relieved to know that our friends in Florida are Florida State fans, as we ate dinner and watched UK whip the Florida Gators in Gainesville.
