Jen's Florida Trip - Day #2

     

     As per usual (mostly thanks to Ruby training me) I woke up Friday morning at 6:30.  I was bummed to be wide awake so early, but then I remembered my Kindle.  I spent the next few hours reading (The 100 Yard Journey)  in bed in blessed silence.  It was awesome.  Finally I rolled out of bed when I heard the other girls up and about.  We had cereal for breakfast.  After that we packed for the beach while a repair man came to fix the AC (it wasn't really working).  Bridge and Rach made a trip in to town and brought me back an ocean water from Sonic.  They are so thoughtful! :)

     Later that morning we made it to Fort Myers beach, only a 15minute drive from the condo.  It was a little bit crowed and deffinitly hot, but it was THE BEACH!  It was fun to go swim in the ocean and cool off. 

Gorgeous girls, inside and out! :)

Thought I would add this pic of Bridge with a normal smile to atone for the one I posted with the three of us.

 
    After a few hours at the beach, a storm began to roll in so we packed up.  Everyone was hot and sandy and ready to head home anyways.  Our late afternoon consisted of mani/pedi spa time.  The gal that did my toes did a really great job, probably the best French predicure I have ever had.  ALL the ladies at the nail salon were in love with baby Everett.  He is quite the charmer.

     We made dinner reservations, but still had a few hours to kill.  Shopping time!  We hit an outlet mall that is a favorite of Rachael's.  There was a Vera Bradley Outlet store at the mall.  Funny that we would travel all the way to Florida to buy Vera Bradley when it is made right here in Indiana!  I found an awesome hard cover and zipper case for my Kindle. There were some awesome deals at Columbia, but it was time to get going.  It was decided that we would need to return another day! 

 

     Dinner was at an Italian restaurant, Il Pomodoro, that Rachael recommended.  The food was really good and the atmosphere was perfect for sitting and chatting.  I had a Italian rolls peppered with Parmesan cheese, a refreshing garden salad with the house dressing, and penne al a vodka cream sauce with sweet Italian sausage.  Delicious!  We had a great time!  Back at the condo we watched a movie, Endless Love.  It was a really cute chick flick.  I definitely need to take more photos tomorrow!!! I will try to remember!
