Spring Break in Florida - Days 7 and 8

Our last full day in Florida, we woke up to the best beach weather of the trip!  It was warm, sunny, and not very windy.  The ocean was very calm, and even had almost a little tide pool area that was perfect for Miley and Landon to run around in.  Miley had been kind of afraid of the ocean for the whole trip, and would hardly get close to the water, but she got right in to the little "river" area today and had a ball.  Landon did as well.  It definitely made for some sandy, messy kids but it was definitely worth it!

That afternoon we went to a really nice restaurant on the beach in walking distance of our house called the Sea Watch.  The food was soooo good!  It was just a really fun atmosphere, too.

Later on in the evening we drove north to Pompano Beach just to get one last look at the beach, and to walk out on the pier.  It was a beautiful little area, and we decided that next time we would have to hit that beach during the day!

Sadly, the next day we had to go home.  The trip went pretty well with kids again.  We had an almost 4 hour flight to Chicago, but both kids fell asleep for a little bit on that flight.  We then had a short layover in Chicago, and then about an hour flight back to Minneapolis.  Minnesota definitely snapped us out of our vacation dream with cold weather, and the kids were both kind of sick when we got home.

It felt good to be back, but we are still dreaming about sunshine and beaches!  Miley even still tells me that she wishes we were in warm Florida and not cold Minnesota!  Ha!  We had so much fun though, and loved getting to spend a week with my parents.  Hopefully we can start making this a more regular thing!
