Florida Vacation



We just got back from a wonderful vacation to visit Grandma Turner, or Grandma Great as the girls lovingly call her. She's a spectacular women who will feed you until you think you're full, and then will give you dessert.

What do you do to burn off those delicious calories in Florida?  Go to the beach of course.









Fishing was involved as well.  And of course, you must fish in style.




Finding the special shells is also an important part of any Florida visit.






 Grandma and Grandpa also came to visit, which made the trip even sweeter.
More beach time followed.


Wildlife always intrigues us.

Wow...and I'm definitely NOT tired.

And then we must return after a busy day, in style yet again.



Of course, there was one important person missing. We will forever miss him.


We returned in a short trip of close to 1700 miles in about 27 hours. Now we are napping. I hope you enjoyed our photos as much as we enjoyed our trip.  Thank you Grandma Great!!!!

My Laboratory


Cooking is an experiment.
The kitchen is the wetlab. 

The scientists are slightly less educated, but definitely cuter.


And the result is more fun and delicious.

And the result definitely comes and leaves quicker.
