Back in November, Craig and I decided that it would be nice to get away to some warmer temps after the Christmas holidays and before the kids went back to school in the new year. So we booked tickets to go to Florida's gulf shore - right where Craig's mom lives - to get out of the winter for a few days.
Unfortunately, our plan didn't work out very well as the big freeze reached all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico and kept the daytime highs in windy 40s, nights below freezing for our first three days. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the company, did a lot of fun indoor stuff (like card games), were well fed, and had a couple of milder playground hours, but it sure would have been nice to get outside more and soak up some sun (of which there was plenty) and shed a layer of clothing.

Our final day was much milder with lots of sun and no wind, so the kids got to play in Grandma's back yard ... and I do mean that literally.

Thanks, Grandma and Tom, for a great little Southern getaway.
