It's true, I left Mariah for the warm breezes, sandy beaches and soft ice cream! My mom lives in Venice Florida during the winter months and we are lucky enough to be able to enjoy time there. We went for ten days this year and were lucky to have great weather the entire time. Which was a nice change of pace for us. Last year it rained the entire time, we made three trips to the emergency room and wound up driving home in a mini van because of double ear infections in our son. It was a bit rough.
Actually something has happened every time we have a vacation or time off together as a family. So we were glad to have a more normal vacation this year! Following are a few 'snaps' from our trip...
This is Isaac, one of the future heirs to the Snap! Photography business. He is "ready to roll" - to the pool.
We saw this 13 foot gator... from a boat. He/She was just out in nature relaxing, not in a zoo!
This is my husband Jim looking for fossilized sharks teeth at Casperson Beach, it's addictive!
I think the 'Snapadamia' should be our new mascot! Although Mariah and I would eat them all!
