Pressley's Big Florida Adventure!

We finally decided to indulge on our first BIG family vacation this year. I called it our “Florida Adventure” because Pressley had never seen the ocean before, therefore it was sure to be an adventure for her. I’m happy to say, Florida did not disappoint this child. She is now officially Florida’s #1 fan and she can’t wait to go back next year!
Every year, Travis and I find a million reasons to NOT take a family vacation (usually because of money)., so the fact that we actually took one this year is monumental. 2013 is going to be such a big year for our family with the new baby coming, so I’m trying to make an extra effort to make our time as a family of three as special as possible. We’re all looking forward to being a family of four but our little threesome has been so fun for the past 5 ½ years that it sometimes makes me sad that it’s quickly coming to an end. I’m so glad we decided to take this trip. It was so good for my soul and my mind. Watching Pressley on her “big Florida Adventure” was worth any amount of money spent. Can’t wait to take her back!

First time at the ocean!

With her great grandma and grandpa!

 Sailor Circus in Sarasota!

Pressley and her "Best Friend" from the trip, Rachel.

 On the last day of our trip, Pressley met Zoe. Again, her "best friend".

 Travis and I treated Pressley (and ourselves) to a Dolphin Adventure boatride in Clearwater. It was AWESOME. We saw several dolphins and they even did some tricks for us! She loved it!

A souvenir from our day spent in Clearwater Beach. A dolphin shirt...what else?!

Daddy and Punky @ Siesta Key Beach

Too cool for school

First day at grandma and grandpa's pool! 

First sandcastle ever made...and five minutes later so destroyed it :(
