Naples, FL 2010

Our family in front of Jim and Sandy's place.
We took a week long trip to Naples, FL to visit Patrick's parents, Jim and Sandy. We were a little nervous about the plane ride considering we had 1 toddler, 1 baby and a dog...yes, I think we had a right to be just a little nervous! ! It actually went pretty well and we were very proud at how the kids and Millie handled the plane ride.
We sure had a fun-filled week in Naples! We actually all got out quite a bit with the kids even though it is always such a big ordeal to get them packed up for even a small trip. Jim and Sandy were also so kind to watch the kids a few times so Patrick and I could get out for some date nights and alone time...wow, was that nice!!
I, of coarse, took SO many pictures and so this will be the first of probably a few posts about our one vacation. I hope you enjoy them all!
A very special thank you to Jim and Sandy for the wonderful hospitality that they showed us while we were there. You both are so very generous and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything, including all the babysitting!! We love you and appreciate it so very much!
