Back at the beginning of the summer, we were wondering where we would take our family vacation. Just looking at the price of plane tickets was enough to scare us. I guess we're still thinking about the prices for two but now that we're four... it's pretty much double! Anyway, I had this incredible idea to.... go to the beach. You're saying "again!!??" Well, yes, it's close, the kids love it and we could rent an apartment for the week. Which we did, back in June. Living in Florida, you never know what will happen with the weather and when I made the reservation, I was wondering if we would be lucky enough to have a wonderful week or if we would have a hurricane. Well... guess what?? We went as Tropical Storm Fay was crossing Florida from South West to South East, thinking we would be okay. Who in the world would have thought that this storm would have a mind of its own and cross Florida three times in all different directions!! All this to say that when we arrived Saturday we were confident we would stay the entire week. When we woke up Wednesday morning and looked out the window, we hurried and packed our suitcases to head back home. The wind was horrible, the waves were crashing with fierce (and we had an ocean view apartment on the first floor!), it was raining like crazy and was supposed to continue for the next three days. I think the thought of being stuck inside a very small apartment with a couple of toddlers and a few toys, possibly without electicity scared me more than knowing the storm would make landfall right outside our window! So we headed home and nothing really happened for us at home, except a little rain. We found out later that the storm did make landfall right were we had been. We definetely made the right decision. But going back in time a few days before, here are a few pictures of the kids at the beach. They had so much fun for the few days we were there. Cesar's nickname is now "the Fish" and Rosa completely lost her fear of the water (which increased ours!!). :)
