Florida











(post by Marissa) Since this would be our last Spring Break with Steve as a student we decided to take advantage of it. We haven't been able to the past two years because I was working and you can't exactly take off during tax season. This year however since I am only working part-time and I worked full-time for a few of the spring break days while Steve watched Ava we decided to head to Florida. We met my parents, 2 sisters, and sis-in-law (and brother came for a few days). What a blast. I could move there tomorrow if I could. It is exactly the kind of lifestyle I love. Warm weaterh, beach, great shopping, and all kinds of restaurants and stuff to do. We went to the beach on Friday and Saturday. We headed to Miami on Sunday afternoon and went to some of the most famous shops. We saw more 150,000 dollar cars than we ever thought could be in one spot. Seeing a 7 series Beamer was nothing. Bentley's were the norm...Anyways, Ava of course loved every minute of it. She loved the beach and being on the go all the time. Everytime we took her out of the car she would get so excited and look around and see where she was. She slept in until 8 am every morning which was so nice for us! All in all it was a great getaway. I only have pics from one day on the beach..lame I know. She also got to eat all sorts of fine food. I love going away because I feel like Ava gets to experience so much and try so many different foods than when we are at home. One thing Steve and I have in common is a love for travel and going to new places! It was exactly what we all needed after Steve watching Ava everyday for a few days and being a bit bored in Lubbock, Texas and me being so busy with taxes and such.

Hi Marissa! Look at you and YOUR fun vacation! It looks like you had fabulous weather! I love you and Miss Ava's swim suits! I was actually in Ft. Lauderdale and Miami last week! Just missed you! My brother just moved down there to a great neighborhood...I'm sure he'd be happy to help you guys settle there if you want to ;).
