CSB, FL - Part 1

Cape San Blas, located on a peninsula near Port St. Joe in the Gulf of Mexico, is beautiful and laid back - just what any RN would order! In July, we stayed (all together!) at The Club at Cape San Blas. Very clean, modern, and spacious - the only negative were the ferocious mosquitoes that made us run for our skin's lives!

There are no high rises, hotels, or much of anything except the beach at the Cape. We had a great view from our balcony that you could enjoy as long as you could take the heat!

The hotties came also (except Aaron had to leave us on Wednesday - booo!).


As soon as we arrived, the fun began.


Syd finally supported the right team.

JD helped me scout out a location for our family portrait.

The zoom on my new picture taker is fab so I could catch the 'rents.

We tried out the new gorillapod for self-portraits. If you are a self-portrait taker, this thing rocks and will attach to everything. This is the second try because on the first, JD couldn't bear the weight of me jumping on his back and was pushed out of view -  weakling :)

In a rare moment, I caught the Duncan's mid dance. And, Chuck with the favorite of his 3 food groups that include vitamin C, grenadine, and moon pies! Do I hear some Bob Marley in the background?

We were able to enjoy dinner together as a family (and sit at the table with a snapping turtle - j/k!)

Lots of beach time was also involved.

Our set up provided plenty of escape from the sun for even the fairest of maidens.  Unfortunately, an afternoon storm took out our canopy. Luckily it wasn't until thursday so our skin was still able to be spared from baking. (I think mom is wondering here if we are on the Atlantic or Pacific, no?)

Sydney makes a fierce sand turtle - and loves all things animal, by the way.

Re-engagement shot? Couldn't resist!

This girl makes everyone want to have lots of little girls (or boys for that matter because she has quite the tomboy side)!

One last beach photo!

Stay tuned for part 2!
