Surf not snow

February 17, 2021

Well, there was snow in Birmingham but we missed it. We were too busy playing in the surf!

No need to hurry back to the cold so we’re just going to stay a little longer!

Would love to hear from you! 3 Comments

Warm and sunny

February 16, 2021

The weather in Birmingham today is a high of 34 with lots of ice. I’m glad we decided to stay and play in the Gulf one more day!

We love Naples!

We met up with our friends Friday morning for a little adventure walking around a new development – hiking trails, golf, a small lake, even chickens!

The boys spent the afternoon at home waiting for Maxwell’s shoes to dry! Robert went to the gym and Samantha and I took a little golf course walk. Perfect! That night Robert and I went out to dinner with Patrick and Liz which is always a treat. We started Saturday off on the right foot with a walk to the waterfall…

Highlands for Thanksgiving

December 2, 2020

We headed to the mountains for Thanksgiving and had a great trip as always! We left early Wednesday morning and got there after lunch. There was a little rain that afternoon so we didn’t do much but we were happy to be there!

As has become a tradition, we hiked Whiteside Mountain on Thanksgiving morning! This is our 6th year to spend Thanksgiving in Highlands and our 4th year in a row to do this hike on Thanksgiving morning. It’s a great hike with the very best views at the top.

Birthday in Naples

October 23, 2020

Our last day in Naples was also Spencer’s 8th birthday!! Not too bad to get to spend your birthday in one of your very favorite places! We had brownies the night before – birthday boy’s request!
