Florida

So this is how Aaron and I normally take trips. We talk about it, for a LONG time. Then we make lists of when we would go and what we want to do. Then come the spreadsheets which budget every cost and includes ways that we could cut costs or splurge depending on how we feel. (i.e. budget hotel or nicer hotel) Well not this time. We decided on a whim to go visit our dear friends the Williams and just kind of took off. We knew it was a 16 hour drive and would require 2 hotels. We knew that we had never driven that long before but for some crazy reason we thought it would be fine.
 
(20 minutes before we arrived at our destination)
 
Well we survived, we're not interested in doing it anytime again soon but we are glad that we were able to spend time with our friends. The weather was awful while we were in Florida. We had visions of a day trip to the beach and Aaron was going to watch some spring training baseball but that all got canceled due to rain/cold/wind. But that's okay because we are happy to just stay up way too late talking to our friends with a lot of laughing and letting our kids bond.

We were able to see some gators, real life gators people. I wasn't very scared, maybe I should've been but none of them came out of the water. It was weird that we were in a real life swamp. I felt so Florida while we were in there. We also drove around the campus in Gainesville.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After a day of being stuck indoors and another rainy day, we decided to go to a bounce house. We had a blast. The kids, and the dads, ran all over the place and Carson was pretty much in heaven.



 
The drive home was rough, everyone was ready to be home. As soon as we got home, Aaron started looking up flights to Utah. (We are driving out there this summer) But like child birth hopefully we will have forgotten by the time we go again. :)
