More vacaction pics

Yesterday we had more rain in the morning. We slept in a while, then went to T-Rex cafe for lunch, then played mini golf at one of Disneys mini golf courses.

Today we drove to the Tampa/Clearwater area and went to a state park beach. We had a good time. Started off on a sand beach. Lexi and I made a sand castle, and Lexi and Monica looked around for shells.


Then we drove to a different part of the island where there was less sand and A LOT more shells. We did some serious shell collecting here. Lexi wanted to keep them all.



We found several conchs that still had critters living inside, so we threw those back.



We also found several sponges, a jellyfish, and a sea urchin.

Tomorrow is going to be warmer and we plan to spend the day at the two pools at the resort. They have an awesome kids water area that Lexi is excited to try out.

Day one

So for day one (I don't count the travel day) of vacation, we didn't have great weather (storms coming through mid-day) so after a morning snack on the balcony watching animals on the savannah, and then having a late breakfast and playing at the playground, we decided to spend the afternoon riding the monorail to some of the different fancy resorts to check them out, find a place to eat, do some shopping, and find pressed penny machines. We had a good time. Here are some shots.
