Florida--BECK style!

Hi all,
We just went on a magnificant Florida vacation!  We spent 10 days...9 of them were on a different beach each day!  We used two giant bottles of sunscreen, because it was hot!!! 91-95 each day!  We played in the 88 degree ocean which was like a big bathtub!  We snorkled and saw the most amazing sea life...sharks, eels, all sorts of tropical fish, sting rays, sea turtles...and yea alligators!  We learned a lor about the different kinds of birds in Florida and learned a fair share about ocean life, the Everglades, mangroove swamps, and how expensive food is down in the Keys.  Wow,We took our whole family on a true vacation!  Airplane rides was exciting for them all, and we all got to experience very wild turbulance!  We got a NEW rental minivan, which had a magnificant A/C which I didn't even mind if that was cranked the whole time!  And of course, the Discovery & Animal planet, what would we of done with out you!  That's what playing for 6 hours on the beach, then coming back to the hotel to rest does to you! 
I posted tons of pics. on Facebook, so you can see the trip there.  We have several Monday nights ahead of us to write all this down  in our Journals.  And our kids think we rock! 
Yea! Happy Vacation!
