Xela's Big Florida Adventure!

Question: how does anyone survive the cold, raw, relentlessly rainy season known as New England spring?

Answer: Visit Abuela & Abuelo in Florida!

We did just that two weekends ago: bye bye, brrrrrrr! Hello, bikini!


Make that bikinis, plural: no fashionable
toddler travels with fewer than 3 bathing suits

a grass hula skirt makes everything more fun



The ocean was scary at first...

but not for long

we searched for shells

played with sand

watched boats cruise along Jupiter Inlet

and chilled on the beach


Turtle and I visited the sea turtle hospital at Loggerhead Marinelife Center

We saw this guy brought in by ambulance:
'Peep' has Barnacle Bill syndrome but should recover

poor sick turtles


With Abuela & Abuelo, we never go hungry


the Food Shack... yummmm!
always save room for dessert

it was sad to go home...
at least I got a window seat

Thanks, Abuela & Abuelo, for a perfect getaway.
Can't wait to see you when you're back.
