Day 364

Hibiscus - my favorite flower.  Blooming now in Florida...I could live here.

Day 363

Just back from Ron Jon Surf Shop...these three were happy with their loot.

Day 362

Today we headed farther south to Cape Canaveral!  It is warmer, but it rained off on and on all day. I only took photos with my iPhone today because I was afraid that my Nikon would get wet. Here is a photo showing some of the outdoor area at the pool. If you look closely behind the palm trees, you can see the Carnival cruise ship heading out to sea.

Day 361

The first third of our Christmas vacation is in Daytona Beach.  We cashed in some timeshare points that were going to expire on the 31st, and we spent two nights at the Wyndham Ocean Walk.  Here is the view from our balcony looking down the beach...

It's going to be a Very, Merry Christmas!

Day 355

This afternoon we took the girls to see The Nutcracker Ballet performed by the NC School of the Arts.  This is the third year that we have attended, and it is a wonderful tradition.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch beforehand, and then we headed downtown.  Everyone looked so wonderful dressed up! The girls are just beautiful, and they behaved so well.

I love that this is a tradition that helps to honor Emma's Russian heritage!
