Finally Florida

It's been a cold and snowy 2014 and February vacation couldn't come soon enough. After years of bad luck with the weather in Florida this year we hit the jackpot. We got out of Boston right before a 9 inch snow dump and returned right after another 6 fell. In between the weather in Naples was sunny and 80 degrees and just perfect. If we had the means, we'd be snowbirds, too. 
There was a good 3 feet base of snow in the front yard from all the driveway & sidewalk clearing 

Is that Olaf?
 
 From snowsuits and boots to shorts and flip flops
 
 95% of the people on the beach in Naples thought the Gulf was too cold to go in. Erin had no problem. She really is warm-blooded.

 Continuing the theme of traveling with superfluous ridable toys, the new neighborhood where Nana & Grampa live was perfect for scooting. 
 
 
 
and the backyard was perfect for Tessie toddling
 
Tessie and Riley the dog became instant best friends
 
 The older girls got their first makeup session with Tia
 
Looking all grown up 

 Again Caroline had her birthday in Florida, the big oh-seven
 
 Tessie was between ear infections on this trip and snuggled up to many of her relatives
 
 Christopher came down from Tallahassee to see us
 
 Who are those silly girls?
 
The pool in the housing development was heated and a big hit with everyone

We can't do this every winter
