Hey Everyone...wanted to get some pictures up here from our recent vacation to Florida. We had a really good time together!! We did a whole lot of nothing which is what vacation is for!! Basically we went swimming during the day, took walks on the beach and enjoyed going out to dinner and trying new foods!

I don't know if any of you watch "Hell's Kitchen". But, if you do, you know who I'm talking about when I mention Danny. Well, we went out to eat one evening at a new restaurant in town called Flip Flops. Little did we know that it had only been open for 3 days. And little did we know that Danny from the show was the head chef and owner at the restaurant. We noticed everyone walking around with "yes chef" on their shirt and Keith finally asked. Well, the unfortunate part of the evening was the fact that the kitchen was so backed up that they stopped seating people. This was after we had been there for an hour plus. Keith ended up taking his mom and Ethan back to the hotel so he could go to bed. So after waiting for a really long time, we had to go and find somewhere else to eat. That was a bummer! We didn't know at that time that he was the winner of the show. We just knew that he was in the top two. So, for those of you that don't watch that show, the above paragraph meant little to nothing to you! Sorry! Just one of those instances of almost meeting someone somewhat famous!

Anyway, on to the fun stuff!!

Here's Ethan and Daddy driving the car (not really!!) Ethan loves to pretend he's driving. He's always asking for the keys and says "go go"!

Ethan in the car...he did fairly well on the trip there and back. He did have his moments!! Thankfully Grandma Manship was in the back seat with him and kept him entertained with Thomas the Train and snacks!!

Enjoying a game of mini golf...Ethan had a blast! He had so much fun he got mad at the end when our golf balls disappeared down the final hole and we had to give our putters back!

Ethan reminding everyone to put on their sun screen!

Ethan during his daily afternoon nap in the shade...what a life! : )

Well, we figured we would try some oysters this year since we never have had them before. We got some steamed oysters at one of the restaurants we went to. I tried them...wasn't too fond of them, but proud of myself for trying. Ethan blew me out of the water! The boy ate a few of these suckers!!! So, here's daddy and Ethan enjoying the oysters!
