"We belong to a mutual admiration society"
After three days of travelling with just the five of us, we joined Grandma and Grandpa, Katie and family and Joe and family. The fifteen of us spent eight nights in a rental house in Davenport, Florida and touring all four parks together.
Finally, the five of us travelled to Nokomis to see Grandma and Grandpa's new house! (Although all you can tell from the pictures is that we wanted to see the OCEAN!)
