Florida 2010

Well I guess you can tell from last week's posts that we were spending some time in the Sunshine State visiting good ol' Aunt J & Uncle P. They live in a golfing community called The Villages and everyone rides around on golf carts all day, soaks up the sun and has a great time (in a nutshell).
Sounds just about like heaven to me.
Speaking of heaven, nearly every night we saw the sunset. It was just breathtaking and spectacular everytime.
We also surprised Dustin's mom & sister by letting them know we were visiting! They came up from Southern Florida for a "daycation". We took them to one our favorite restaurants and sat on the outside deck just overlooking Lake Sumnter. What is better than sitting outside and enjoying a beautiful meal on a porch? Just about nothin' better in the summertime.
One of the reasons we came down to Florida was to escort Nana on the plane as she moved into a Retirement Community near Aunt J & Uncle P. She is there now, partaking in many of the activities her home has set up and the sunshine Florida that has to offer. It is a brand new adventure in her life and she is enjoying it!

(us saying goodbye just before I leave to go back north.)

It was sad saying leaving her since in the last few years we've seen each other nearly daily and become very close, but its the best decision she could have made in this time of her life. More reason to come back frequently to visit!
So I guess this is the round up of our visit:
visiting Nana/investigating her new digs
pool time daily
lots of reading
golf carting everywhere & having a blast
a little sunburn (hey-i'm irish)
lots of family laughs
dinner out daily
too many captains & coke to count
(and chocolate wine - yum)
sunsets daily
Not a bad vaca. Not bad at all.
