My folks bought a condo in the area they have been visiting for over 10 years! They are wonderfully excited and have the desire to share it. We were so fortunate to be able to add onto our Spring break and fly from BWI.
We rented a sweet jeep (Chris’s idea!) and snuck in around 9 at night.
The next morning when my mom walked us out to the beach It was such a moment of joy knowing how happy we all pray they will be here over the coming countless years

The pace of life back in FL is a relaxed vacation style that is so easy to slip into. The boys had PLENTY to entertain themselves with. They started with skim boards on the beach, moved to pool games and even tossed in some roller blading the area while goomba walked. We never had the TV on and used the screen in during the hotter afternoon sun.

Here are some favorite parts. Our adventure out to the Mucky Duck was filled with simple nuggets of joy—from finding 2 parking spots (to include one RiGHT at the entrance
Meeting a cool lady who welcomed us to her table as she was sitting alone. While she said she didn’t want to be social she later told us she was having a bad day. So in turn she made our day which hopefully turned things around for her.
The sunset that night was beautiful.
Enjoyed by all
Doesn’t this guy look like he belongs here?
Plenty of sunsets to stop and enjoy
The days were filled with fun stuff—roller blading through the parking garage and along the trails
All hands on deck making meals
The kindness of a beach fisherman—letting drew pull in this catch
We managed to link with Danville Friday night. He brought out Grey and LuLu to hang with the kiddos while we caught up and life between now and 2007 when we last saw each other! Great to hear his winter time Maine adventure.... dinner was a simple pick up for Doc Fords as we could all enjoy it at the table area.
Glad I asked this crew to pose for a quick photo!!
Saturday we got to sample to local Sanibel ice cream
The last beautiful sunset of the trip.
The last morning, Chris nick and I got up for a sunrise walk.
Minimum screens in Sanibel - maximum reading. we LOVE seeing the boys engrossed in books. every night we swapped around sleeping rotations. Twin in our bed and boys sharing the pull out in the side room. Worked out great.
Love this little book worm
Time to call it and head to the airport. Thanks to my folks for hosting such a great final leg. We loved the time in your new happy place
We hit the CUTEST and most creative mini put course on our way to the airport. I request by Drew.
Making sure we have the right books before boarding the plane
