Vacation

We visited Marco Island again this year for our Dec. vacation. The condos there are very nice with a full sized kitchen and down feather beds. They also have complimentary laundry service so that helped out a lot with the children's clothing. We had them wash all of our clothes before we came home so we came home all we had to do it put away the clothes. It helped out a bunch! We had a two bedroom this year because Mom came with us. She watched the kids one night so Jim and I could go out to dinner. We went to a French restaurant that was delicious.

Here is James and Jim together. James loved the pool. As soon as he was in the water he kept kicking and splashing...non stop!! It made it hard to hold him because he was ALWAYS kicking and then splashing you in the face. It was worth it though...SO CUTE!!

Sophia and Jim made a sand castle together. They also made a sand snowman (Sophia loves snowmen this year) but the snowman didn't turn out so well. I thought the sand castle looked pretty good though!

We will definitely go back again next year, except Dad and/or Mary is going to have to come along to (Mom's request). It is such a relaxing and beautiful place to go to. Down the street is a shopping complex with restaurants, an ice cream parlor, and a movie theatre that serves meals. Since it is a small island, there are not that many streets so it is easy to navigate and the people at the hotel are so accommodating and friendly. We had a nice relaxing time. And I think everyone except Mom and maybe Jim got plenty of rest - Thanks Mom!!
