Spring break came early this year, and we took off for Fort Myers Beach, FL. Here's some loosely related thoughts about the trip which is starting to wind down just a bit.

• Awesome neighbors. They came out the first night in the rain to help us find the lockbox with keys. They've been super friendly Adam has enjoyed talking with them a lot, and they've had a smile on their faces the whole time.
• Perfect weather. 80's every day, only rain was upon arrival and just a bit the first night.
• Perfect location -- walk-able to shops and restaurants, but quiet and away from the rowdy spring break crowd. We had no idea what to expect and basically just got lucky!
• House on the beach. We were looking to save money, but not finding anything we liked for the price range we sprung for the house on the gulf-side of the island.
• Sunsets every night.
• Dolphins playing in the water right in front of our house, very close to the shore.
• Haircuts for everyone (although I do my own).
• Adam playing by "himself" with his Planes vehicles, memory game, go-fish, or some combination.
• Gas grill, tasty food we can make ourselves. Tonight was feta burgers, and they were super yum. I wish my hamburgers were always so good! Maybe the ocean view was inspiring.
• Running on the beach in the morning.
• Adam didn't so much like riding the jet ski, maybe next year? But he was glad he tried.
• Full moon means walking on the beach at night is easy.
• Watching the pirate ship go by every day.
• Plenty of sunshine, and plenty of sunscreen.
• A John Grisham book that I hadn't read yet.
