Hey guys!
We made it safe and sound late last night. :)
The sweet Southern Belle at the Budget counter sweet talked us into this bad boy!!!! LOL.
She convinced us it was a special deal just for us…lol. ;)
Lots of fun was had driving to my parents place…music was cranked, songs were sung. Hair got massively knotty, lol.
Lots of beer and chips were had upon arriving
I had 2 beer and then some of Eric’s. Soooo thirsty after the flight. Probably not the most hydrating drink, but it tasted amazing!!! Eric proceeded to spill his beer all over his lap. We joke in my family that it isn’t a party until Eric spills something! LOL…he tends to spill things a lot.
OSGMOM spotting!
The condo they are renting is just beautiful and has such a Florida touch to it.
Despite our awesome bed I could NOT sleep last night! I was sooooo excited and basically wired up. I laid in bed til 2am and I was up around 7am. Vacation excitement! ;)
Love this tree…anyone know what it is?
I started the vacation off on the right foot with a nice 4 mile run this morning.
Despite my stepdad trying to scare me, I did NOT see any snakes! However, every twig, stick, leaf, rustle was a potential suspect. :mrgreen:
Lots of great paths!
I got a really bad blister though so I need to pick up some blister pads. Ouch!
We’re off to Naples now to look around and see the sights. Back later!
Have a lovely Sunday!
It must be so nice for you to run in the warmth of the sun on your vacation! Have a great time with your family!
Are those welcome baskets on your bed?!
How cute is that?!!
Have a fantastic vacation :)
Hope the weather is gorgeous for you down there! Can’t wait to see your pics :)
Awesome that you made it to Florida and you get to enjoy the sunshine!!! You will look like a freak if you are out in shorts in 65 degrees there, and all the Floridians are in sweatpants, but savor it! I dealt with that few weeks ago while I was there!
This is so true! I live in Florida and whenever my husband and I see someone in shorts when it’s “cold”, or swimming in the cold ocean, we say they must be Canadians :)
My folks were in Naples for 2 weeks. I didn’t think they were coming home!
Enjoy!
OMG LOVE the car!!!!!
I am always so worried about going for runs while on vacation…what if I get lost? Do you look up maps pre-trip or just run and figure it out as you go?
You HAVE to go to Marco Island (I’m sure you will!!!) And if you have plans for alligator alley, make sure you fill up your gas tank… the cops don’t get too happy when you run out of fuel- much like my tummy:)
hahaha what a fun car to rent!!! driving in an open top convertible at night… only in florida! it would be way too cold to do that anywhere else! :D
what a beautiful condo your parents have!! and yay for starting the vacation off on the right foot with a lovely 4 mi run in gorgeous weather :)
enjoy the rest of your day!!
Nice convertible!! Funny how salespeople can convince you a deal is just for you, but at least you got a pretty sweet car out of it!
Hi Angela! I’ve been reading your blog for almost a year, but it looks like this is my first comment! I could have sworn I commented before. Anyway, I hope you have a great time on your Florida trip.
Snake story: My parents are coming out to AZ from the east coast for my graduation in May & my mother is scared to death that she is going to encounter a rattle snake! I’ve been living out here for 4 years & I’ve NEVER seen one. I just try to make lots of noise when I’m running or hiking & that seems to get em away. Hope you don’t see any while you’re in FL!
Have a great day!
I was on your site last night looking at your half marathon re-capes. I ran my first half this morning and thinking “you are stronger than you think” TOTALLY got me through the first 3.5 and the last 2! (4-11 is a blur). :)
Thanks Angela!
I think that may be a creeping myrtle tree – they’re gorgeous! They’re usually in those pink colors, lavender, white, or a gorgeous bright fuchsia. Love them!
Can’t wait to see you next weekend!!
oh how fun! you are going ot have such a great vacation…..
Glad you made it safe and sound!!! Have a blasty my love!!! xoxo
Have an awesome trip! We used to visit Florida almost every summer and I miss it so much!
Florida is so beautiful! Have a great trip Angela…enjoy the great weather.
Have a great vacation! All your pictures are so beautiful.
Try Miller Chill; it is way better than Bud Light Lime in my opinion!
What a fun time. From the bowl of fruits and veggies it looks like mom try’s to be healthy.
