A Whirlwind Vacation

For those of you who didn't know, we just came back from vacation to both Florida and Philly. It was great, but decidedly not long enough. We only were able to spend a few days with relatives in Florida (in both Sebring and Boca) and another few days with family in Philly. For those reading this blog who actually like Rexburg, I tip my hat to you; I suppose someone needs to like it! But being back on the East Coast made us really miss it and then to come back to Rexburg (or Idaho in general) with tons of snow already-which wouldn't be so bad if people learned how to drive in it, salt the roads (yes people I said SALT, if they would spread just a little of this wonderful stuff accidents and road conditions would greatly improve and it's not like people around here have their nice cars to worry about most are rusty buckets of bolts as this state does not require either a yearly inspection or emissions) and learn how to effectively plow this wonderful white stuff that comes EVERY year! I am not even bringing up the subject about the now non-existent sidewalks and the icy parking lots, but if this happened in a bigger city, there would be lawsuits left and right!! But I am getting slightly off topic: There are of course many pictures of our adventures, and rather than talk about them and then post the pictures to further chronicle the events, I will just show you, as pictures are worth a thousand words!


Not sure if you can read what it says, but as it's a pregnancy test, you can most likely guess what the outcome is if we posted it to the blog!

I LOVE all the pictures! It looks like you guys had a ton of fun! Florida is such a tease right now. :) Congrats again on the new baby - we're hoping for a boy so Cameron will have somebody to play with!
