Thanksgiving Trip to Florida - Part III

 And we conclude our three-part series with the last few days of our Thanksgiving Trip to Florida.  



We are making it a tradition to go out in the boat and go to Frenchy's for lunch.  The kids did well this year- remember last year, Grant didn't go because he refused to put on his life vest?  Well, he put it on this year.  He whined a bit on the boat when Pop Pop went fast, but he did pretty good other than that.


Natalie loved every minute of it and sat up front with Daddy for the trip.


Grant was very excited to drive the boat with Pop Pop, even though he couldn't see over the steering wheel!!!


Silly faces with the turtle at Frenchy's!  It was so nice to sit in the open air restaurant - we certainly couldn't do this (comfortably!) in Massachusetts!


Nana and Pop Pop so graciously watched the kids for a night while Todd and I got a sweet deal at the new Hyatt on Clearwater Beach.  It was really, really nice!  They even gave us a cup of champagne when we got there!  


We went to the pool for a bit, had another beverage, and then read a little bit.  Then we came back to watch the sunset from our balcony!


After a beautiful sunset, Todd and I went out to dinner at Island Way Grill before going to Frenchy's on the beach and playing a little pool.  It was Monday night, so we were the only people in there!  


It was a great trip, and as usual, over too soon.  Hopefully we'll be able to get to Florida at some point over the summer, because this was our last year going there for Thanksgiving.  We had to take Natalie out of school for too many days in order for us to be able to afford the airfare.  So we'll have to start a new summer tradition!
