We recently traveled to Lauderdale by the Sea... a small town north of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for a long winter's weekend of fun and sun. It was wonderful! We rented a small beach house just a few blocks from the shore and spent five days of uninterrupted family time, which is such a rarity these days with having a 13 year old and an 18 month old! It was a much needed escape and we enjoyed every moment.
It was so nice to go outside without coats and let the kids run free! We had a park just down the street from our house where Paul and Drew played soccer and James ran around like a crazy boy and got all of his bottled up energy out.
We took long walks, ate ice cream, sat on the beach, enjoyed funnel cakes at a street fair in South Beach and enjoyed leisurely drives down the A1A while James snoozed in the backseat... it was fabulous!
We arrived home late Monday evening to rain and wintry weather. Ah yes, back in Pittsburgh. Home sweet home. We will miss you sun and sand, but we thank you for giving us a lovely and very memorable trip!
Until next time...
Our mouths were filled with laughter,
our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
"The LORD has done great things for them."
the LORD has done great things for us,
and we are filled with joy.
~Psalm 126:2-3
