Ahoy there, me maties! In keeping with the theme for the day, we made our way a little on further down the road to the McLarty Treasure Museum. With perfect timing really as, the museum was getting ready to close in an hour. I’m telling you! All that sun really makes you forget that there are still little things like closing time. But we squeaked in under the wire, so that is all that matters. This museum is small, but it is jam packed with all kinds of interesting treasure r

Only my kids would head out in the car in Florida and not take their swimsuits. Admittedly, we were just really heading for the zoo and then anywhere the wind took us, but seriously! It’s Florida you should always beach ready. Although that didn’t stop us from heading to the beach on such a fine sunny day. We ended up on the wrong side of the inlet to swim anyway.

In case you haven’t figured it out by now, we are an avid outdoors family with a love of the water and wildlife. Naturally that meant we spent a lot of our Florida trip in the sun or at a zoo. The Brevard Zoo has to be one of my favorites during this trek. It is not very big, but they have a lot of enclosures packed into such a small space. They even have a kayaking tour, but alas, we did not get to partake due to a timing issue. Usually, you go to the zoo to see the animals

After such an amazing airboat tour it was now time for the part of this day trip that we ad been long anticipating.

This one is a 2-part day trip, and it was absolutely amazing! Thank goodness we started the day fairly early, because the parking lot was really starting to fill up as we got there. Of course, that also meant that we had some downtime to sit and enjoy the outdoors while we waited for our boat tour. As it so happened, I just managed to bring one of my favorite books written by my favorite authors. This is a pretty new release, and it is just a little embarrassing how many time

Our first full day in Florida and we are getting started with our first beach trip. This was actually the first beach I ever got to visit in Florida as well, so it seemed kind of fitting. Mind you this was a Sunday, so it was pretty busy, but lucky us we managed to snag up front parking at just the right moment. Summer and I walked all over the pier area while the other two went onto the sands and in the water, but I think a good time was had by all. We were able to hear a lo
