82 & Sunny . . .in January

Words can't really describe how nice it is to get away from cold, dreary Cincinnati and head south for a wonderful familly vacation.  We were so blessed to spend a week and a half in Marco Island/Key West with our family and friends.  The week started with (friends') Laura and Nick's Key West wedding, then continued with tons of fun-in-the-sun with (Great) Grandma Arlene, (Great) Grandpa Larry, Nana and Papa.  The weather could not have been more perfect; not surprisingly, it was hard to come home.

Skinny dipping - ya gotta get the sand out of the cracks somehow
