Vacation {part 5}

Welcome back!

Friday was a sad day only because it was our last full day in Florida. We slept in and skipped breakfast deciding to get an early lunch at the Orange Tree in the Orange Park Mall. Ya ll, they have they best chili cheese dogs I have ever had and I had been craving one for weeks. I am so not lying about that! I will be in big trouble one day if these chili cheese dogs are one of my pregnancy cravings. Heaven help us!
After all of us eating our weight in hot dogs, we did a little shopping at Old Navy where we found some really good deals! After shopping Stephen dropped me off at the nail place for a pedicure. Oh.My.Stars. It was totally awesome and felt so good! I used to get pedicures a lot in Florida...like almost every 2 weeks, but in Indiana there really isn't a need during the winter since people look at you like you are crazy if you wear sandals, ha! I didn't expect the women at the nail shop to remember me, but they sure did. It was nice to see familiar smiling faces and be treated just like an old customer...which I am!

Around the time my pedicure was finished Mom & Dad were back from Disney so we headed over to their house. It was so different walking in because they had the floors replaced and I have been used to this house with carpet for the last 23+ years. It was different to see, but it does look very nice:
We decided to get some dinner and so some shopping. After begging (literally) Hunter decided to come with us! :)
We made stops at Kohl's, Ross, Five Guys Burger and Fries, Wal-Mart, Grams house and Rita's Ice before heading back to Mom & Dad's house. Hunter's girlfriend Jessica snapped some family pictures of us:
She took a lot, but this one is my favorite! :)
I snapped a picture of Hunter & Jessica, too!
Bristol and Chance were happy to see me, it had been awhile!

After saying our goodbye's we headed back to Gram's house to load up the car. We wanted to leave early but ended up leaving a little later than originally planned. A 5:30am departure meant it would be dark when we left for home and dark when we got home...ugh. Thankfully Stephen drove the entire way (again!!!), and I was able to read a book cover to cover. I'm telling you if you give me a diet coke, a good book and a bag of gummy bears I can be happy all day long! Oh, the book I read on the drive home was The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. I thought it was amazing and a little different than his other books that I have read. Have you read it?

Here are a few pictures from the drive home:
How can he be comfortable enough to sleep like that?!

Well, that's the end of our vacation re-caps. We had a great time and really enjoyed the time with family. It's always nice to see people you love and eat the food you love too!
