1. Sleeping children make a 19 hour car ride much more enjoyable. Awake but happy children are also enjoyable. However, whining and crying young ones can make 10 minutes seem like an hour.
2. Florida is the condo. The condo is Florida. When we are driving around Naples we are not in Florida. "I'm right mom," says the 3 year old (just in case you don't believe me).
3. Sand castles are fun, but Sand Mermaids are better (thanks Aunt Leslie).
4. New Years Eve is much more fun when you have good friends to share it with. Especially when husbands clean up the kitchen, take the kids down to the pool for ice cream and let the moms and sisters sit at the table and talk! Fireworks you can see from the condo are also a plus.

6. You can make snow angels in the sand. Snow men, however, are a little harder.
7. It is possible (with only 3 kids) to make over 10 trips to the pool bathroom in one hour. Sad, but true. 
8. Even trains need naps in Florida.
9. It is much easier to brave the waves and reach the sand bar when you have a friend beside you. 
10. Even though there is no place like home, no one likes to leave Florida.

Megs,
That was too real and too cute. Thanks for making our day:)

I'm packing my bags! Vacationing is so much fun seen through kids' eyes - despite the alternating horror/endurance of long road trips!
looks like a FUN trip! Happy New Year!
That's a riot- and oh, so familiar. When we're there though, Florida is the beach. At the pool is the pool, but then they want to go out to Florida (the beach).
And I said the same thing last year...I never realized just how many times the kids went to the bathroom during the day until I had to take them inside!
So glad you had so much fun- looks like a ball!
