one beach...

Last weekend, we decided to get in the car and drive somewhere new.

We ended up at St Petersburg, FL.

I think St Pete Beach to be exact.

Honestly, the kids were so tired (Owen especially) that we just got out of the car and walked the beach some.

We didn't do too much else that day, except a drive by tour of the area from the car.

I'm sure we'll go back another time and really get to explore it more.

From what we saw it was beautiful.

We enjoyed the fun, spontaneous, beach day!

Our first of many, here in Florida.

Here are a few pics...

Owen in stroller - I couldn't get him to look at me
he was too fascinated with the water!

Aaron & Riley

we moved to FL!

We have been in FL now for two weeks.

The move was successful!

When arriving, we stayed in temporary lodging on base for one week until our household goods arrived.

We've been settling into our home and are loving it so far.

Riley already started her school down here too!

We love this house, the area is beautiful but being far away from family and friends is taking some getting used to.

Aaron starts work next week.  We've really enjoyed our time together as a family and getting to explore the area some!

Here are some pics so far...

Daddy is home!

 

This pic was taken the morning the kids first saw him, on Nov 2.

 

Riley was glued to him at first.  I love that Owen is pointing like "that's my Dad!"  Haha.

 

So happy to have Aaron back.  :)

 

YAY!
