It had been nearly 3 years since we went on a vacation.  TwinMom insisted that we take a week off and do something.  TwinPop is glad that he married up! We wanted to avoid air travel and trips over 6 hours in the car. We settled in on Destin and rented a 2 bedroom condo that had a beach view and was near the pool. The kids traveled well and we had a relaxing trip. The days were filled with pool time,  relaxing naps and good food.   We made a family trip to visit Grandpa’s grave. The kids who were born two weeks before his death hugged his grave marker and told him they loved him. TwinPop really misses him. Afterward we went to the Naval Aviation Museum and took in an IMAX film and sat in a bunch of airplanes. MR H is ready to sign up for  flight school!

 

A few weeks ago we went to Daytona to visit Pepe and Grandma.  We had a blast. Pepe and Grandma made all of the plans and we showed up for the fun! We had a lot of time poolside and at the beach. Pepe rented a golf cart and we drove up and down the beach. When we napped Dad visited his Aunt Eleanor. We found a great place for Ice Cream…..We shall return!
