Florida

To celebrate the end of the school year, Sara and I ventured down to Florida to visit the fam and get some much needed beach time. Some of my family friends own a condo right on the beach and, lucky for us, they are generous enough to let us use it when we come to town. The condo is amazing (my dream is to own one of my own some day). Here are some pictures....

The kitchen

and the living room
It also has two bedrooms, bathrooms, and a front porch like thing.
Sara and I stayed here for a good portion of the trip and the other nights were spent at my Grandparents. We had a pretty good time on the trip. Most of our time was spent sitting on the beach and eating.... Nothing that I can complain about.

We mangaged to see most of my cousins while we were there. My cousin Maryjane was visiting at the same time from Georgia and came and spent some time at the beach with us. This is her little boy Hayden.

Sara and I had a few mishaps while were were there. One of the nights we got back to the condo pretty late and discovered that the lock on the door was jammed. We spent a fair amount of time getting to know the security guard while he tried to get the key to work. Our attempt was unsucessful and we ended up having to drive to a friends house to stay the night. The next morning we attempted again with the mateniance guys. After they couldn't get the key to turn, we called a locksmith who also was unsucessful. After two and a half hours of waiting the mateniance guys sawed off the door knob so we could get into the condo. Good times.....

Sara and I saved a crab from the swimming pool.

I managed to wake up for sunrise... Despite the early hour it was worth the pretty site.

I miss the beach already......
