I have just returned from a week long trip visiting my family in Florida. Let me begin by saying it rained all but one day...my last full day! While back at home in NWI, it was a glorious week of 70 degree temps! Now, Florida needed the rain and it is the beginning of both rainy and hurrican season, but this was TOO much! It was reported that Florida hasn't seen this much rain this early in June since the 1800's!!! Ugh!!!
I was prepared for the heat & humidity that is common in Florida in June! I had some great sundresses this time around and had been really looking forward to wearing them for the first time! Well, I did get to wear 2 of them my last two days! Simply, I would have preferred it to be a much drier visit! Ah, well!
My intention wasn't to "tan my cheeks (what?!)"...it was spending time with all of my family, as much as possible! Mission accomplished!
In the middle of my week, my mom and I went off on a little excursion to John's Pass at Treasure Island. It was for my birthday and to spend time away from the drama that usually ensues when you get too many family members together for too long. (My grandma was to join us, but with all of the rain, she felt best to remain at home.)
