Peace. Love. Ice Cream.

It's back to reality tomorrow and I've spent today trying to catch up on my life. I actually posted twice on the teaching blog... who am I?


But let's not get to that when I haven't finished telling you about Florida yet :)


We went to more delicious restaurants...

Things also got a bit more "Florida" when the weather warmed up a bit. We went on an airboat ride in the Everglades. Did you know the Everglades is not just swamp land, it's a river? The widest river on earth. That's your fun fact for the day!

On New Year's Eve Day we went to Hollywood FL Beach to run the boardwalk...

Now it looks like Florida, right?


New Years Eve night we headed to a great Italian restaurant on South Beach. I've heard SO much about South Beach, but I could never really picture it in my mind...

But the night was not over, soon it was time to head to the Seminole Casino for a Beach Boys concert...

Yes, yes that IS Uncle Jesse, the highlight of the concert for the Full House fans among us.


Happy New Year!!!

It was a lovely vacation, and I have to admit I'm not ready to be back yet. But I can't really complain, I've already started the countdown to my next vacation!


How was your New Years? Anyone else back to work tomorrow?

  12. I am glad the weather warmed up for you guys! Looks like an awesome trip. Gosh your time off went so darn fast! Hope your first day back at work goes well and the adjustment isn't too tough. So tough to come back from a vacation!

    I had a good NYE. I went to my aunt & uncle's for dinner so it was a low key night.

  14. Awesome pictures! I love the punk Bug, it's just your style!
    I can't believe that's uncle Jesse. To be honest, I had no idea he was a rocker in real life. My bad.

    Glad you had a nice vacation. You look great in all the photos and I love the purple shirt. I'm a huge fan of purple, especially that dark purple you are wearing!
