Fun Fun Fun in the Florida Sun!

So our first travel destination in the US was Bradenton, Florida, to spend some time with Kelly's family.  We stayed with Grammie (Kelly's mom) and enjoyed lots of pool and beach time.  It was great to breathe clean air again (if you could get a breathe in that kind of heat and humidity).  The kids loved playing in the Gulf of Mexico and hunting for shark teeth at the aptly named "Shark Beach".  As we were straining sand and shells looking for teeth it dawned on me that there was probably a reason that so many teeth wash up on that particular part of the beach (which didn't comfort me one bit when Kelly swam out a hundred yards to the sandbar).  Yikes, but we did find lots of cool shark teeth!
We just really enjoyed our time in Florida!  Great fun, great dinners, great company, great family!
