6:34am. Not bad for waking up at 5:56am. Unfortunately, we didn't actually get out of Cola until a little later....

It was a wee bit foggy, so we'll say that this is the reason we made a loop around Cola before we left. :)

And we FINALLY got out of Cola at 7:21!

Karin and I in Florida...the land of palm trees...even baby ones. :)

Edgar and Lola, our new little friends joined us on the roadtrip.

At last, we made it to New Smyrna Beach!!

Grace went for a cruise on the beach. She really wanted to, so we let her. :)

Cruising on the beach.

The day trip to Merritt Island to see the alligators. A childhood memory for me...but slightly disappointing...we didn't see a single alligator.

I'm sure there is an alligator out there SOMEWHERE.

This was about all the life we saw on the swamp.

I think she wants to take it home.

Flops.

After we went to Merritt Island, we headed on down to Cocoa Beach for some seafood (well, for Bekah at least) and to check out Ron Jon's Surf Shop.

And this is where Karin spent her week.

Sunshine days.

This pretty much sums up our whole week.

The beach. Oh how I love thee.

Karin got a boyfriend while we were at the beach.

His name is Max

Growing...

Growing more....

Full grown and taking a ride with Lola.

Seashells, seashells by the seashore...

Beautiful beach.

If I were a bird, I would want to have yellow feet like this one.

Fun on the beach.

Checking out the rainbow in the distance.

Friends.

Saying goodbye to our Florida vacation.

Grace is all packed up and ready to go.
