We decided to enjoy the fantastic weather and the beauty around us with a day at Honeymoon Island. We live just a couple of minutes away, so it was easy to escape from real life, take a breath after the holidays and enjoy Florida and each other.
We began our adventure with a picnic by the ocean-great food (bologna of course), sun on our face, and an 80 year old stalker who insisted on telling us stories about the bench that he donated and how it was in the movie "The Punisher" with John Travolta. Actually a very sweet man (who I'm pretty sure just wanted Isabella off of his bench..)
We then took a hiking trail that led us ultimately to two bald eagles' nests. We didn't get to see the eagles but had a great time looking at the mulitude of osprey and hunting for gopher tortoises. The walk was about two miles total, and by the end both kids had to pee and Isabella was sooooo done walking.
After the hike, we couldn't leave without taking advantage of the playground (energy automatically restored). It was a great start to my New Year's Resolution...to spend more time outdoors enjoying the beautiful weather and ocean that we are surrounded by...
Here's a video of our adventure-no need to turn down the music (I didn't add any to the video).

You are so out of control! Only you would refer to an 80 year old man as a stalker! How I miss you up in the 3rd grade wing...(Jenna is wearing off on me ;)
Looks like a blast! You think I could wheel my GIANT stroller down that path? Hmmm... You know, a small detour on your way home from FP and you're here (we're at my parents'). Feel free to stop by and feed a youngin' ANY TIME. Really, ANY TIME.
Haha Preston!
