Arrival Day!

Whew!!
We finally made it to Florida around 3:00 pm. Which was a little earlier than we had expected, not a bad thing at all. Upon arrival, me and my family scoured the home looking for our nightly nesting area and claimed it before anyone else could, we were not in a big hurry to do this as we were the only ones that had arrived at the home at the time. Dad, Mrs. Liz and Colton called the room with a large king bed and plenty of room to put the play pin. I already knew which room I was getting, it was the room with 4 beds where all the guys would be sleeping on our trip; Kai, Parker, Gabe, and Myself. After unloading all of the luggage and placing it in the correct room, we really took the time to view the home, and what a beautiful place it was. On the first floor was a master bedroom with a king bed, laundry room, kitchen and a beautiful screened in pool. Moving on to the second floor, was the kids bedroom, 2 bedrooms for family's. On the third floor was one bedroom and a bathroom. Walking outside of the third floor bedroom was a balcony with a winding staircase leading up to a gazebo with 2 relaxing hammocks overlooking all the treetops and a view of the ocean. I could tell by the home this was going to be a great vacation.I then took out my camera a snapped a few photos of the beautiful home before it became, um.. not so beautiful.
Jacob was the first one to hit the pool and test out the water and his results we not the greatest but he did not seem to mind that the water was kinda cold. Maggie and Lauren also started there vacation in the pool. I was very tempted to jump in myself but there were things that i had to get done with such as unloading. After unloading all the luggage and getting everything "livable", Roslyn, Bianca, Maggie, Lauren, Gabe, and Myself decided to take a little walk to the beach. One word- Astounding! Bluish Green water, perfect white sand and sea shells washed ashore, all added up to one thing. The perfect vacation. When we returned home, it was supper time. Granted this was the first day and no one really "cooked", so we had chilly dogs, surprisingly delicious! After dinner, Maggie, Lauren and Myself left in search for the Seaside Tennis Club. Tennis is a passion for me. Come to find out, Bianca is also into tennis, so I now have a tennis buddy for the week. Walking waayy further than needed, we finally found the courts. We headed back to the house where Aunt Michelle, Guy, Kai and Parker were about to arrive. We all set in the kitchen talking about past Florida trips, and let met tell you, A BIG HOOT! ha.
After reminiscing, my dad and I went out for a little bike ride. We went down the main road into Seaside where we visited the tennis courts and then strolled around the shopping areas available in Seaside. We headed back to the house to find our family playing a game of "reaction"! It was Aunt Lauries turn to grab the buzzers. She became easily distracted at something else when the red light turned green and Kai hit the button first sending a shock right through Aunt Laurie's hand. She threw that buzzer and jumped back so hard, thank goodness it was suction cupped to the table, or it would have been in Key West Florida! Once again, another big hoot from the family.
Here I am now telling you about my day, and what a day it has been. I am overly
anxious about what my first full day of vacation will be like.

GOODNIGHT! :)
P.S. Here are a few pics from out first day! :)
