Cold weather

Wow, I completely take full recognition of my laziness to blog since we got back from Florida Sunday afternoon. With wind chill advisories and the temps staying in the negative it has been hard to leave to couch and snuggling with my littles, but day to day activities are keep us going. Callahan turned 2 yesterday!! We celebrated with a fun trip to the big Pizza Ranch for some GF pizza and fun with friends. Thought we would blow away getting there (wind was at 40+mph!!!) But it was a fun time.

  We got back from Florida Sunday morning and had a great time while we were there. One of our biggest fears were the plane rides there and back with Callahan, but both boys were amazing travelers even through the few bumps. The weather was perfect every day except Thursday. We got to hit a few beaches and go to some fun places to eat and of course great shopping! Tim and Nancy live in a great community and Nancy has really made their new house into a welcoming home for all. I had never been to Florida before so I was pleasantly surprised to see their beaches were white sand. I am used to the Outer Banks sand and always thought they were the same. This is the sand where its easy to build great sandcastles and bury each other. Here's a few highlights/low lights of the trip :)

1. Warm weather and Sunshine!!

2. The boys got to drive a mini mustang convertible like Grandpa's

3. Will never fly Allegiant Air again......if you are in the future I'm sure your experience will be different than ours, but this is what we have decided.

4. Will probably always book a rental car through Dollar Rental.....after arriving in Orlando and having our rental car info completely messed up, they were the one and only company that would help us out. They were amazing! They were even playing a Christian radio station over the speakers, I would pay $100 more to book through them from now on for what they did for us.

5. Will never book through Advantage Car rental again ;) 

6. Beach days in February

7. Jeremiah got to go for his runs outside!

8. Starbucks on every corner

9. Family time!

We hope we can go again soon. It's definitely making us consider a move to a warmer climate someday.
