In September Mike, the boys and I flew to Orlando and Cocoa Beach, Florida for our family vacation. We had a wonderful time being on the beach and enjoying being away from home for a while. We stayed in 2 hotels (one we lovingly call "The Dump") and a resort. The resort obviously wins, hands-down, every award for our week away. They also had a lazy river where you could just soak up the sun on an intertube plus an amazing water slide and pool. It was just a few minutes walk to the beach too. Who could ask for anything more?
I managed to get all the boys in white t-shirts and jeans for a famly photo op. I think the picture turned out pretty good since I took it myself. LOL
The weather was wonderful while we were in Orlando. However, when it came time to move to Cocoa Beach, Hurricane Rita decided to make the ocean angry and the waves were pretty rough and it rained our first day there. I wondered if we would make it home on time or not. The airlines delayed our flight for a couple hours due to the weather.
Austen's decided he doesn't like to fly and cried when it came time to leave - he wanted to drive, take a train or even a boat, anything but a plane. Poor little guy. I bought him some Dramamine for the ride home and he did just fine.
Let's see... the next place I went to was General Conference in Richmond, Virginia. I was only home 7 days from Florida before I took off to Richmond. I have decided that I don't care for Virginia too much. The locals were not very friendly and the area didn't seem too great to me. But then again,I didn't get very far out of Richmond either.
My mom, Aunt Debby and I stayed together while we were there. We had a lot of fun and did a lot of laughing. The church services were really long (no surprise there).
Mike is going to Budapest, Hungry next month so that trip will put mine to shame, but I enjoyed myself anyway.
