Staycation/Vacation Last Post

For the last day of our vacation we headed over to the east coast of Florida.  We had heard people telling us about Fort Matanzas and that it was historical, fun and free.  Perfect!  After checking in, we rode the ferry over to the island where the Fort is.

The boat ride was relaxing and fun.  I love the smells, sounds and sights of the ocean!  It always brings back good memories of going out on my Dad's boat.  

It really was fun to hear the history behind the fort.  The kids loved looking around and seeing the sights.

 Never a dull moment with this boy of mine...

  ...or with these girls.  They know how to aggravate their brother!!

 Then, we went over to the beach.  It was a perfect day for it!  It was very hot!!  The tide had just gone out, so it created little pools of water that were perfect for my littles to play in!

 We built sandcastles, collected shells, jumped the waves...

 relaxed plenty...

and, of course, wrestled...my boys favorite past time!

What a great week we had.  I know there were many posts, but my intention was to show that even if the budget is low, you can still plan plenty of fun for yoru family!  Be creative!  Make memories!  Time just goes way too fast.
