Staying Younger in RI: Our Naples, Florida Family Vacation

We just returned from Naples, Florida on Saturday and we returned to what seems like a state other than RI. Are we in Minnesota or back in Ohio? There is snow EVERYWHERE. This weeks forecast includes more snow to come, in fact as I write this it is snowing. I did not blog while on vacation because frankly I was either having too much fun with the family, exhausted from the day's events or a bit tipsy on Mojitos (our new drink of choice). We all had a spectacular time. I believe that none of my children cried the entire week and I saw nothing but happy active children or peacefully sleeping children. I would chalk this vacation up as a 10 out of 10. Shawn and I had two nights out to dinner (thank you mom and dad for watching the kids), my mom and I had two shopping outings thanks to Shawn who watched our children, and I was even able to get in exercise with my mom three days! It was 75-80 most days and just a wonderful week.

My two favorite quotes of the week were:
Hudson: "I need something to drink, and the answer to your next question is WATER".
Molly: "I would rather be sitting on a bench eating". She said this after we allowed her and Myles to join us for our power walk. About 15 minutes into the walk she made this announcement. It still cracks me up when I think of it. I really thought she was going to say that she would rather be sitting on a bench resting NOT eating! Too funny.

Myles was a ball full of happiness all week as he is a swimmer and he was in heaven with our own personal pool and hot tub. Though he did not have one specific quote that cracked us all up he did repeatedly tell us that "he loves his family"~ what a sweetheart!!!
