Surf, Sand, Swings and Slides

This title pretty much covers the highlights of this vacation. We had so much fun! Each day was full of swimming, playing on the beach or on a playground. We swam in the Gulf of Mexico, the hotel pool and in the pool at Grandma and Granddad’s house. We made our first sandcastles on St. Pete Beach and look forward to a sandbox at home next summer. And, we discovered a total of four new playgrounds; one at St. Pete, one in Haines City, one at Lake Hamilton and one in Tennessee. The last one we found on our last day when we stopped for lunch. It was no surprise that the slide was painted University of Tennessee Volunteers’ orange.
