This is always one of my favorite weeks... my kids started talking about it 3 weeks ago "Daddy... when are we going to Florida?" followed by the same question 30 mins later, again at bedtime and then again "Daddy how many days now until we go to Florida?" the following morning at breakfast. Every day.

Being 7, 5, and 4 this year, swimming was the biggest item on the agenda. Then golf, which made me very happy since my two favorite things to do in my spare time is golfing and fly fishing. (there are no pictures here of the golf as I was concentrating on my own game at the time and trying to instruct them at the same time).

We also took a jet boat ride and saw alligators and birds of all kinds which was pretty incredible. Check out the baby Osprey in one of the images below.

We rode bikes together. Then I ran and they rode their bikes with me. We ate lots of fresh fish and fruit, they snacked... snacked again, and then swam some more. Five days went by like a weekend.

Given my wife stayed home this year to train for the Boston Marathon it was just me and the kids. I absolutely loved it... and now I need a vacation.
