Naples!

We woke up at 3:00 this morning to catch a flight out of the frozen tundra that is Indiana and get to FLORIDA! WOOT! 

Our flight was pretty uneventful and pretty much on schedule so that was superb. Susie picked us up and we were off to see Aunt Kathy and little Heidi puppy! She's such a good girl. She cried and screamed in her little puppy voice when I got there. We petted her and took her for a walk. It is always so nice to see the little girl. She's happy and healthy.

Heidi puppy!!!

We grabbed lunch at Sonny's (corn nuggets- yum!) and then headed to Naples where we'll be until Wednesday. I took a little nap out by our pool. The sun just felt so good. I'd missed that sun for weeks now. I finally moved inside to nap with Jackson and was shocked when the bed broke while I was sleeping. We took it apart to see what happened and a box spring accidentally fell on Jackson's head. HARD! It was a nightmare. Poor baby had an instant goose egg. He was a champ about the fact that the box spring falling on him was likely my fault. Oops. :(

Icing his head and being annoyed with me :/

We called it a day on naps and headed to the beach for the rest of the afternoon and to see the sunset.

The view from the pier 

 We love the pier on Naples Beach. It feels like it is a mile long and the views are just unbeatable.

We left the pier and watched the sunset from the beach. We enjoyed people watching, too.

GORGEOUS! 

Toes in the sand! :)

The trio! 

The birds and the boat make this a favorite 

Once the sun goes down the beach empties. We headed for 3rd street to do a little shopping. I've wanted these awesome beach chairs since we were in Hawaii in November. We found them here and bought two. We'll leave them for Susie to enjoy for the winter, of course, but we are excited to enjoy them for the next few days!

New beach chairs 

We were so excited that we set them up in the living room this evening. Silly. :) Since our naps were not successful it will be an early night for us. Here's hoping the bed holds up! Eek!

Tomorrow's only duties include a run, a rollerblading session, a trip to the beach and an even cheering on the SEAHAWKS and Pete Carroll! Ahh...vacation. Love it!
