We all stayed in a house in Captiva, Florida. It's a great vacation spot for families, as everything is walkable and the beach is always close. Our little family had two bedrooms to share and it was nice to spread out a bit.
Clara LOVED the beach. She would have stayed all day digging in the sand. Her favorite activity was probably ordering her grandparents and Aunt Amy to get more water from the ocean. With lots of adults around, she always had someone to play with.
Luke did a great job going with the flow and playing on the beach. It was even move fun once he learned to not eat the sand.

One of our favorite spots was a restaurant on the beach where we ate lunch a few times. Luke would just sit in his high chair and bop along to the music.
Our house had a pool, which was perfect with little kids. We could get in for a quick swim before or after nap time. They both loved the water, which was plenty warm thanks to uncle Dan finding the thermostat :)
We loved getting to spend extra time with the kids and our extended family. It's not very often we are all together, and it was really fun to get to spend a whole week in one spot. We enjoyed lots of walks and time spent outdoors, a perfect break from such an awful winter.
Of course, the kids were really happy when we found a neat city park on a nearby island. As we pulled up in the stroller the sound of pure excitement and delight when Clara spotted a PARK! was priceless. It was a long winter for her too.
We definitely could not of pulled off the travel without lots of help. We are so thankful that we got to take our kids on such a cool trip. It is pretty fun to see things like the beach through the eyes of your toddler. She keeps asking when we can go back! Grandma and I are trying to get everyone to book for next year... :)
