Manatees and Roosters

Success...our first family trip with just Matt, Viv and I was a complete success! Not that I expected anything different, it was just good to know that even though we miss traveling with the boys, we have some good adventures left in us! 

We went swimming with the manatees in Crystal River and then spent a couple of nights in Ybor City. This was the birthday trip that Viv and I planned for Matt for his 50th birthday. Nothing says 50 like manatees and roosters, right?! As cool as Ybor City was (shout out to all the wild roosters), the highlight of the trip had to be swimming with the manatees. That was a once in a lifetime experience! 









The Urban Roost 
Our tiny home for weekend...
The weather was absolutely perfect 

Columbia Restaurant
We sat in the original 1905 dining room. 
Very, very cool

All the wild roosters were super fun during the day...
and SUPER loud at night

Florida Farewell

Image
Our last sunset in Florida didn't disappoint.  Honestly, it wasn't an emotional farewell though.  I always felt like our time in Florida was fleeting. As a family, we transitioned the kids in and out of the house over summers, and in and out again. In two short years we transitioned through different schools and jobs and friends. These last two years especially, I felt like a transient. Never quite settled.  Now, it's time to settle. I'd like to plant some roots, even if they aren't deep and forever at our next assignment. Like us, they just need to be strong for the season.  Eglin AFB, Florida  1 June 2023
