Florida Tip

My Grandparents have a home in Florida and go down for a while in the winter months. Last year my Mom drove them down, stayed a week and then spent a relaxing couple days driving back by herself. This year, she decided to drive them down again, and asked me to go with them. Ummm, ok! : ) Who's going to pass that up? It was really a nice trip! I love my Mom and Grandparents and it was nice to get away for a bit and see some sun! So, we got in the car, left the snow behind and headed down south. It was so relaxing! We didn't do a lot, which was fine by me. Here are some pictures I took while we were gone.

The first peek at water!

What's that on my skin? SUN

Ahhhh, don't see this at home!

Beach in Grandparent's neighborhood.

I have never seen a tree like this. It was called a cotton... something... tree, but they looked like Lilies

Beautiful sunsets over the water!

My three roomies for the week! Granpa, Mom and Granma

Northern Indiana Trip

My Dad's birthday is August 29th, and 2010 was the first year that we didn't have him here for his birthday. As with other special days, Mom and I plan to spend some time together for the day/days. In northern Indiana there are people that make quilt squares out of flowers so this is what Mom chose to do. We'd spend a few days going through northern Indiana and site seeing. It was a great trip! I love spending time with Mom, anyway, but this trip was really nice and very relaxing, which is what we both needed! Below are some pictures I took.

World's largest jelly bean : )

This is where we ate on the second day. One word...YUM!

Brown County

My husband and I celebrate June 13th as our anniversary normally instead of our actual wedding anniversary. We started dating on June 13, 1996 but we didn't get married until December of 1999. There's not a whole lot of things to do in December in Indiana, thus the reason we normally do something in June. This year we went to Brown County and had a really nice time! Here are some pics from our mini vacation. :)

We had a patio outside our hotel and since most of the night it rained, we sat outside for a while enjoying it. It was raining so hard the water was spilling over the gutter.

The next day we went in to Brown County State Park and had a great time.
