Down by the bay....Tampa Bay

Snowbirds are on to something here. We recently returned from a trip to Tampa, Florida and it was beyond wonderful. Besides the health benefits of vitamin D, you just can't beat the 80 degree weather and the beautiful views. It was so nice to take a little vacation with just the three of us - our first family vacation. We did so many fun things. We went to the zoo, aquarium, museum of science, the beach, and of course the pool (which was probably Charlotte's favorite). The food was delicious, the bay was gorgeous and the relaxation was just what we needed.

I'm thinking this should become a yearly tradition.

Sad to leave beautiful Florida
