We got to Clearwater to meet up with the Cruising Crew and settle into our condo we were sharing with my sister Jen and her family, and my mom and dad. The cousins were excited to see each other.
On my birthday, we went to a street fair where my sister's church band was playing. The kids had a good time running around while we listened to Christmas music and visited the vendors.

Our little girl got way too much attention this half of the trip!
The next day we headed to Clearwater Marina where Winter the dolphin, the star of Dolphin Tale, lives. There are many other animals that they rescue and take care of, many for their life span.

My Florida niece, Megan. How tan she is!
Kisses from Aunt Julie

My generation got to go out, kid free! Frenchy's She Crab Soup...Yum! Thanks, Grandma and Papa!

My other Florida niece, Emily...Kathryn reminds me of her when she was 3!

Christmas Eve...trying to get a good pic of the grandkids is difficult!
Our only trip to the beach, as the weather was a bit cold. We were locked out of the condo for a bit, so decided to make the most of it!
Can anyone figure out what our masterpiece?
A swim before we all needed to pack up and head to the airport. Notice it is only the Washington kids in the pool...Floridians though it was way to cold to swim...I agree!
Ryn relaxing at the airport. Flying was not an ideal way to spend Christmas day, but the rest of our trip was great. The kids did great with all the activities that we did and we loved spending time with everyone in Florida!
We did not get into Seattle until 9:30pm, so stayed the night at my parent's before heading home the next day. We were happy to see the snow in the mountains, and at home, setting the mood for a 2nd Christmas we had at our house.
