365: Florida Escape

So I don't know if anyone caught my post last week, but Joseph and I spent two days in Florida while J stayed home and played with Grandparents.

This year for Christmas we decided we wanted to do something together instead of buying each other things. (But for the record, I would be okay with both.) So when Joseph found flights to Florida for $14 we hopped on a late night flight to wake up to a beautiful sunrise in Ft. Lauderdale.

After a nap and a long drive down to the Keys, we headed to the beach for a day of swimming, snorkeling, and exploring.

Although we had a lot of fun, we were always thinking about our little guy left at home. Sure it was nice to not worry about nap times, diapers, and snacks but we couldn't help but think that we might have had a bit more fun if he had been there.

Finishing the day with a slice of Mrs. Mac's Kitchen key lime pie was the perfect way to end our first day in paradise. We both quickly decided (as we were fighting over the last few bites) that a whole pie is really the only way to go.
