Fall Break



The kids were out of school last Thursday and Friday for a little fall break. Brady had to work in Melbourne Thursday night, plus visit an early morning seminary class there Friday morning so we all went with him and stayed the night at a hotel. Oh my...we had so much fun. We stayed in a Doubletree which felt like a 5-star resort compared to the Best Western type hotels we are used to staying in. Brady found a great deal on the room on the internet. We were on the top floor of the hotel in a suite with a balcony that overlooked the ocean. We were RIGHT on the beach. After dinner at Panera, Brady went to train a stake and the kids and I went to the pool and hot tub. We came back and popped popcorn, jumped on beds (well, the kids did that) and watched TV. The next day we attempted to take a family picture for our Christmas card. That was an experience! I'll post a picture to show you how we all really felt! Then we went swimming again before heading home. It was just a perfect little get-away. We were sitting on the balcony enjoying the view one more time before leaving and I said, "It would have been even more perfect if we had seen some dolphins out there in the ocean." I had no longer said that when I spotted one, then two, then three. There were about four or five dolphins that put on a show for us before we left. It was amazing!
