Florida Vacation 2012


We drove to Florida this year for vacation! We were supposed to fly but Direct Air grounded their planes until May 15th. So drive it was :) After some great advice from friends we were underway. The kiddos had a laptop each, books, iPads and various other things to pass the 24 hour drive. It was a really great drive and I honestly couldn't believe how good the kiddos were!

We enjoyed 2 days at Busch Gardens and another 2 at the Adventure Island Water Park down the road. It was a whirlwind couple days but we enjoyed both locations very much. We drove to Punta Gorda to the in-laws and enjoyed the scorching heat there! The kiddos swam in their pool on the grounds, it ALWAYS felt like a bath tub LOL We visited the Shell Museum as well as a few Nature Preserves in the area. Also on the list was Sanibel Beach and that was a wonderful day! Soooo many shells and we also saw dolphins in the not so far distance!

It was a lovely vacation and one we hope to enjoy next year! Here are just a few pictures!
