Over Memorial Day weekend, our family was incredibly blessed to be included in the vacation plans of Coral & Tom Voorhees, dear friends we met through First United Methodist Church. They rented two hotel rooms in South Lido Beach (just a couple of hours from home), and Nana Slicker agreed to stay at our house for the weekend to pet-sit dogs Caity & Buddy, cats Hannah, Saidie, Tsuni, & Tucker, and horses Lucky & Missy! When the weekend got off to a rocky start (There was a fatal accident in our front yard that involved a woman who'd been heavily drinking - Please don't EVER drink & drive!), we were especially grateful for the opportunity to leave the house behind for a few days.
While we didn't log many hours at the beach (Apparently, we were not the only ones in Florida to think BEACH on this busy Memorial day weekend, lol, so the waterways were really dang full!), we had an awesome time relaxing with Coral, Tom & Holden by the hotel pool! The weather was perfect, the company was fabulous, and the food was great (Coral is a Cooking Queen!). We were so lucky to get away from the helter-skelter pace of everyday life for a bit & refocus on the importance of family time :-)
