There is nothing like getting out of Seattle during the cold, dark winter and taking a break in the warm sun. I hereby declare that every winter we shall take a sun break and head to warmer climates. Even during the holidays, the traditional hot cocoa and snowflakes time, I would rather be swimming in an ocean or lounging on the beach.
Lucky for us, both grandmothers live in Florida, so we have a place to go for the sun. We arrived a couple of days before Christmas and stayed with Nonna Connie at her place on Longboat Key. She lives across the street from the beach, which is a very nice place to live. Jay took Sasha in the ocean every day, which she loved. We even saw a pod of dolphins while out one evening walking the shore.
We visited with Grandma Sharon in St. Petersburg - we had lunch at Rollin' Oats and took a walk in Sawgrass Park. We didn't see any crocodiles, unfortunately, but we did see some soft shell turtles. Sasha loved all the palm trees in Florida, and even now will point out palm trees in books.
It was a lovely time and had I not waited until 3 weeks after our trip, I would have some accurate memories to share. I apologize for the vague details and will try to update after her birthday much sooner.
