Vacation!!

DAY 1: Depart from Charlotte, NC; Arrive in Clearwater, FL

This summer my parents rented a condo on Indian Rocks Beach near Clearwater, Florida for the week of July 4th! We drove in on Friday night and are staying until the 5th of July!! We have been looking forward to this ALL YEAR (thanks Mom and Dad).

We loaded up my Explorer with me, Eric, Ty, Caiden, Kate, and our dogs Buck and Ellie Mae! We are all able to fit and only pack 2 suitcases!!! The ride was long, took about 11 hours, but the kids and dogs did great!! We stopped twice at rest stops for the dogs to run around and had a lot of fun.

When we got home, my mom had baked some yummy lasagna for us to eat for dinner!! We stayed up and chatted, had a couple glasses of wine, then hit the sack so we can start our vacation on Saturday!!!

DAY 2: Clearwater Beach, check in condo at Indian Rocks Beach
Kate's friend from college was playing in a beach volleyball tournament Saturday at Clearwater Beach so Kate and I went over there that morning to watch her play a match before we headed to the condo!! It was nice seeing the beach where I grew up at!! Love it!

We got to our condo around 4 (beautiful!!!) and then went straight to the beach! Caiden and Tyler loved the ocean. We finished the day with a dip in the pool then went to eat some fish at Crabby Bills!
