After all the Christmas fun we headed down to Naples for some R&R!
First night – Bricktops! Always a hit.
The first few days we had perfect beach weather!
Next dinner – Chop’s! Everyone enjoyed but I can’t say I’d go back.
Of course Spencer got his Skillets!
More beach – and we were glad they didn’t give our chairs away that we had snagged earlier that morning!
Judge Judy sighting!
Me, Robert and Maxwell joined GJ for the beach exercise class!
But there was plenty of this too…
and more than plenty of Uno and Scrabble!
and way more than plenty of these two fighting….
Dinner at the Beach Club…
The weather then turned very chilly but we still made it to the beach for some walking and football…
and then another beach walk on New Year’s Day – including a starfish!
We then had one final dinner at Campiello!
Then back home to Birmingham – but we can’t wait for our next Naples trip!
It was a great end to a fantastic year. Although, I’m acutely aware of how much I’m going to miss these golden days and ages. I’d do 2025 all over again and I guess that’s the best way to end the year.
We’re ready for 2026!


























Happy New Year!
Naples is waiting for your return!!! Here’s to 2026!
It’s going to be another exciting year !
