Last weekend we made our way down to Florida for Labor Day Weekend. Our first stop was Gigi and Papa's house. They recently bought a home in a retirement community and this was only our second time visiting them there. They don't live there full time, so it is a fun place for us all to go and visit. We got there around bedtime on Friday so after everyone stretched their legs from being in the car all afternoon we all hit the sack.
The next morning we woke up feeling refreshed and ready to explore. The first order of business was breakfast. And in their community the only way to travel in style is by golf cart! These are not just any golf carts...they are custom, personalized and the snazziest things on the road. Literally everyone down there rides around in golf carts and it there are special golf cart lanes and paths to get all over. The kids just adore this whole concept and think it is so much fun!
After a quick donut breakfast we gave hugs and kisses to the kids and then the Mr. and I made our way east to the coast. We were meeting up with some of our good friends for her 40th birthday party! We spent the day on the beach relaxing with them and then that evening we had fun at the big luau party.
My friend, K, and I met when the Mr. and I were living in Florida. K and I co-taught 1st grade together in a team taught classroom and had the best time. We both hit it off right away and soon after that our husbands hit it off, too. Our kids have grown up together and they are just such special friends to us that there was no way we were going to miss her big party!
The next morning after sleeping in we packed up and made our way back to Atlanta. It was a lot of driving for a quick long weekend, but so nice to get out of town and have a few days with a change of scenery.
