I guess I should have also mentioned that I got a haircut yesterday. A pretty major one too. 7 inches gone!!

I don’t think my hair has been this short since I was 18! I hadn’t had it cut since January and it was needing a major update. Change is good…I think!
All masked up…


for much needed professional summer cuts!!



Looking sharp!
One day at the beach the water was very shallow at least 50 yards out. As we were walking out, not only did a dolphin swim within 20 feet of us, but we realized we were walking on hundreds of sand dollars! We gathered some up and took them back and had a fun science experiment learning how to dry and bleach them. We soaked them in fresh water…

Let them sit in a bleach solution for 10 minutes and dried them…

and then painted them with glue to help them harden.

We ended up with about 260 of them!

We now have them all in a bowl at home – pretty cool!
Happy Monday! We’re back in Birmingham and are glad to be home and reunited with Robert! We’re missing Naples though! The day we left we had one final trip to the beach…








one final pool-side lunch…

one final swim at home…

and one final hug!

A great trip for sure!
