Florida: Summer 2016

Our last summer vacation this year was a trip down to Florida. Our activities consisted of the usual fun rotation of swimming, golf, and beach but here are a few of the highlights:

  • Julia and Ben had their first "real" golf lessons. And became true golfers as we were caught in a thunderstorm while out on the range and now they can say that they "play - even in the rain"
  • After a couple of storms we found a coconut that had dropped from a tree in a nearby park and took it back and dissected it. We didn't eat it because it looked like it been around a little too long (there may or may not have been mold growing inside - we weren't going to test it!).
  • Ben had his first waffle cone of ice cream. Yes, it was as big as his head! And yes, he ate it all!




  • Julia had her first cone of Cappuccino Chip. She really enjoyed it at the time. Andrew and I did not appreciate it so much when she couldn't get to sleep that night! It might be awhile before she's allowed to have it again.



  • We saw a fantastic art installation at the Botanical Gardens created by Patrick Doherty out of willow branches.
