Our visit to Grandma's

Last weekend Joe and I went to Florida to visit Grandma. We went so I could introduce Grandma to my future husband and I was dreaming about the pics I would get of G-ma (4'8") and Joe (6'3") together! :)

We had a really great time. The weather was perfect and we even got to go to Grandma's favorite place for people watching, Snook Haven! It is basically a "Real Florida" biker bar next to a river where there are alligators, unfortunately we didn't see any but we did eat some "gator bites" yum!



To go along with Lilli's family tree post, I love this photo collage at Grandma's house of Grandma and Grandpa on their wedding day with photos of each of their parents on their wedding day, so cool.

Looking for sharks teeth--we found 10!


Snook Haven, there was an annual festival going on so there were tons of people! it was a blast.



Here is the cutest video of Grandma showing Joe her dance move! so great!









We went to Pine Island one night to stay at I.D.'s Florida home. It was nice but a little bittersweet because in my head he should've been there. It was nice to feel like he was though.

We went out on his boat, the guys caught a few fish a snook and some sea trout--I think?
On Valentine's we went to dinner with Mom and Papa, very romantic... ha ha. We had a great time with everybody!
