ah, sunny florida

you know your Weekend Away was excellent
when you come home with 5 pictures.

these five:

my husband, rescuing my hat.

the boat-accessed dog beach. (heaven!)

the good captain.

the beach stroll.
(thanks, amy. without you, there'd only be 3 pictures.)

the disgusting thing.

which, in case you're interested, is a SEA HARE.
only took me a handful of hours to find after
googling: "sea snail...Estero FL... ewww!" repeatedly.

and yes, virginia, its as gnarly and squishy against your leg as it looks.
did you hear me? i said "AGAINST YOUR LEG!"

MY LEG.

once back on land, i sent a picture of this little beast of the sea to kim
knowing full well how much her boys would love it.
follow their subsequent story HERE.

so, thanks,
sister & boyfriend & niece.
(that's RIGHT!)
