Our “Stay-cation” on Sanibel Island

….was INCREDIBLE! Two days alone with my husband was beyond amazing. Topping the trip off by being able to share the beauty of Sanibel with my children for two more days made the trip feel complete. They really enjoyed collecting an amazing amount of sea shells and finding the elusive sand dollars. No one wanted to come home but I promised them we’d come back and play again real soon. :)

Trevor, in typical teenager fashion managed to avoid the camera completely. Nick is obviously quite proud of his shell collection as marked by his willingness to ‘pose’ with his prize collection. His only disappointment came from having to return to sea the ones with little buddies living inside them.

Olivia was in love with the little clam shells and convinced she could hear the ocean listening to them too. ha ha So cute! She’s my little love monkey and has a tendency to not want to let go of my side but by the second day she was running wild along the gulf coast. :)
