Florida day one

Should have blogged this yesterday but forgot.

Anyway Thursday morning the kids woke at 7am, after 4 hours sleep. I slept till 9.30am so felt slightly human.

Diana arrived - she's staying just over the road.

Weather cloudy and quite cold by Florida standards, due to rain this afternoon. Hmm, I blew an extra $1150 getting here so it could rain on us all?

Spent the morning watching the children in the lovely pool next to our apartment. It was just about warm enough to sit out there with a cardigan on, but I was regreting not bringing a warm jumper. Got into the hot tub to warm up.

Then we headed to the Sand Bar restaurant for lunch. Arrived to find Kevin there waiting for us, having driven 200 miles over from Palm Beach this morning!

Lovely place, sort of wooden shack on the beach, but definitely about to rain outside so we stayed indoors rather than roaming about the beautiful looking beach. We ate a lot of calamari, then a load more food. I had blackened grouper - it seemed traditional.

Then we spent our afternoon mostly dozing in the apartment, while watching the temperature drop outside.

Ran the kids round the beach before tea. It was beautiful, and they had the best time running in and out of the sea and getting their clothes wet.

Weather supposed to get worse tomorrow... hmm.
