During the week we had a fabulous time. We enjoyed the oceanfront room in New Smyrna Beach, FL. We woke up early some mornings and searched for the best seashells. 
We drove over to Kissimmee and enjoyed a day at Disney's Typhoon Lagoon. 
The kids loved this day the best. Brittany enjoyed the fun water rides & Nathan loved the 6 foot waves. He especially liked it when daddy threw him into the oncoming wave. The kids enjoyed the visit to the Lego Store in Downtown Disney (I wish we had one in NC).
Another fun day was when we drove on the beach
to the jetty (structure of stones projecting into the sea) & we saw sea urchins, 
striped fish, large crabs & baby crabs. The kids loved exploring around the rocks. 
Earlier when we were trying to find the jetty we discovered wild gopher turtles (land tortoises that originated in North America 60 million years ago, thus making it one of the oldest living species) & their burrows in the sand dunes. 
I was so excited to find live, wild turtles. It was so amazing!
Throughout the week we also enjoyed building sand castles,
swimming in the pool, 
playing ping pong, 
shuffle board, riding the waves, 
playing in the water park, 
shopping, eating 
and relaxing. 
Thank you, Florida! We enjoyed our summer vacation. Good Bye, until next year!
