Florida Day 6: Hanging around the Condo Property (February 13)

Our final day in Key Largo was a pretty great day :) It started with the boys in a big dog pile on Daddy and then some sweet snuggles with a super happy Kendrick and Mama :) And not just one delicious cup of coffee, but two!

The boys were being great! We went down to the little beach again to check out the fishies, then to the park to play again and met some fun people who own a B&B up in Niagara on the Lake with kids just slightly younger than ours.

Mark played a couple rousing rounds of Candy Land with Cashel, and the boys ate great, which meant they also napped great!

And the great napping meant that Mama got to spend a couple hours all by herself...SHOPPING!

Before we knew it, nap time was OVER! ::cue the dramatic music to accompany this adorable picture of Kendrick::

We got ready and headed down to the pool to swim for a while, and we had the whole pool to ourselves!

My friend Jill asked me after I posted this on Facebook how we managed to get a picture without kids in it in the pool, and I have to reassure you that Mark was holding Kendrick, I just didn't get him in the picture. And Cashel was in his little floaty thing (see above).

The rest of the night was fairly uneventful. We made a chaotic trip to Arby's that ended with neither of the kids eating, and an unsuccessful attempt at seeing the sunset over the ocean. The boys conked out earlier than usual and we spent the rest of the night getting our stuff packed up and ready to go for the early morning, since we had to be on the road by 7am.

It was definitely a memorable trip in so many ways, but oh were we just aching to be home at this point. The condo was nice - it really, really was - but there really is just something to be said for sleeping in your own bed and being in your own environment. Having BUTTER to cook with (who buys a whole pound for one week?) and my favorite spices and not worrying about if the boys were going to break something or fall off the balcony or...you get the picture. A week is long enough when it comes to vacationing with toddlers, and it was just time to go home.
