Florida in August – St. Augustine Beach

In August, I took the kids down to Florida for nearly two weeks.  We stayed in St. Augustine Beach for several days with Jonathan’s family (Jonathan was able to join for this part of the trip), out at my parents’ place on the Gulf Coast side for several more, and then with Jacqui and Randy for the last few.  It was an amazing trip and I’m so glad we were able to travel for so long and therefore get plenty of time with each group we were visiting.  Last August we had a great trip to Florida, too, but it seemed like our time with each subset of family went by so quickly that we left for the next segment of the trip unsatisfied, not ready to say goodbye.  We certainly weren’t ready to say goodbye when we left family on this trip to Florida either, but we enjoyed having a good amount of time with everyone.  We definitely fit in a lot of fun activities while at Nana and PopPop’s beach house in St. Augustine Beach—surfing, playing on the beach, celebrating Jack’s birthday, hanging with the cousins, playing with sparklers, walking the beach at sunset, and sharing plenty of laughs, hugs, and cuddles.  Love our family—I hope our kids realize how good they’ve got it.  These images warm my heart because they definitely show some of those small moments of love shared between Ella and Jack and their wonderful aunts, uncles, Nana, PopPop, and cousins.
