Sanibel Island Vacation

Labor Day weekend hubby and I kicked it off with a lovely vacation in Sanibel Island, Florida and had a wonderful time! A mini vacation just 2-1/2 hours from home on the west coast of Florida. We stayed in the cutest little cottage on the beach and enjoyed every second we spent there! It was a little efficiency, small but oh so cozy! I wanted to live here! Look at this VIEW!!!


Ours was the top right!



Hubby Bruno found such a pretty shell! And somebody was home! We threw him back safely :)

The beach was so pretty..

On our beach adventure, we went to an adorable antique store and I bought this mug!It was like love at first sight! I HAD to have it!
It was such a peaceful and restful time that it was hard to go home and get back to the daily grind, but before we left, we booked another vacation there for September! At least now I have something to look forward to in a few more months!

HOLY CANNOLI!

The holiday season has finally started to slow down, geeze! It was definitely extremely challenging but I'm glad I made it through! Busted my butt doing 80-100 hours each week for the month of December was insane, but I had a partner in crime! Thanks Amanda for all of your help! I was lucky enough to treat my daughter and I to plane tickets to go and see family in Long Island, NY. I hadn't been back in over 3 years and Ava, my daughter, has never been and only met most of the family once in the 2-1/2 years of her existence. We had such a wonderful time! Everyone ate Ava up and she loved it! She even got to see snow for the first time! Like an old lady, Ava begged to come inside after playing in the snow for only 5 minutes. If any of you know my daughter, this is not shocking that she would not want to play in the snow. She would rather be crocheting with a cup of tea. :D Well, here are some pics of our trip and I hope to go back and visit next Christmas! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and a happy new year! 2011 here we come!
