I went to Florida

Before leaving for Korea, Colin and I knew we would need a vacation break after our year of crazy endless teaching, guilty sick days, and forced vacation. I seriously felt like I had never worked so hard in my life and needed a vacation like no other. We were hoping for an elaborate vacation in Asia.....Thailand, Ankgor Wat, Great Wall of China....and while I do still plan on getting to these places someday, America was lookin' mighty fine. So, we opted to visit our brothers who, lucky for us, live in two very different, awesome cities.

First we went to Pensacola, Florida (I've always loved the word "Pensacola." I think it's fun to say and rolls off the tongue) to visit my brother Jason, his wife Tracy, and daughter Morgan. It had been three years since I had seen them...I know, ridiculous. They live in a fantastic house and are just a short drive away to the beach. Spending quality time with them was amazing and laying on the sunny beaches was just what the doctor had ordered.

Morgan & Colin
So many slushie choices!

They really loved him all week and went nuts barking when Colin was in the pool. Then they would jump in to try to "save" him.
Our beautiful home for the week. My brother actually lives here everyday.
ADORABLE
Despite Morgan going to the Naval Aviation Museum on field trips every year, I made us all go. I love this museum!

Strangely appropriate at the time to have stumbled upon this exhibit!

Thank you Jason for a wonderful, relaxing week and I can't wait to get down there to see you guys again!
