We left Carl Petzold's and headed off for FL Sunday late afternoon and we drove through the night to arrive in Hobe Sound in the morning of Memorial Day. The drive was good and I-95 was free of traffic and minimal truckers. Tommy likes to drive right around 60mph and I go a little faster at 65mph, but this is slow compared to the way a lot of folks drive.
We arrived at Barbara's (aka Grandma to R, K & S) and the kids were well rested and excited to get in the pool and go to the beach!
Cousins Lauren, Autumn, and Josh were there, and all the kids got along and played very well together in the pool and in the house and at the beach :)

Big squirt guns were a hit
Day 2 we rode our bikes about 2 miles from the house to Hobe Sound Beach on Jupiter Island (now home to Tiger Woods and Celene Dion) It's a fun little bike ride from Gomez Ave. through the tree shaded drive and over the Intercoastal waterway bridge to the beach. We did this ride everyday we were there with 4 to 7 kids in tow or on bikes.
First day at the beach the water was warm and the waves were just the right size for Reeve and Kyle.
Stella LOVED the beach. We had to watch her very carefully because she had no fear of running into the waves. Saltwater splashing up into her mouth and eyes did not seem to phase her...
Ahhhh...it was good to go on vacation
