Quick Trip South

This past weekend was a long weekend for the kids. They had Friday and Monday off for MLK Day. Scott was in Brazil (or Brasil as they spell it) on business. We decided to check last minute flights to see if any deals were to be had. We found a reasonable rate, from Bloomington, right in to Sarasota. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to soak up some sun for a long weekend. We left Thursday morning and returned Tuesday night. The kids had to miss 2 days of school. They didn't mind!! Grandpa and Grandma welcomed us with open arms. It was also fun to catch up with Kim's brother, Brad, and his family. Scott joined us for a couple of days over the weekend. He was already booked to fly in to Miami from Brasil. He drove, from there to Sarasota, then flew home from Sarasota on Monday afternoon. We left our shorts and bathing suits in the drawers, at Mom and Dad's house. We won't need them here, in this yucky weather! We are scheduled to head back to FL, at the end of March for 2 weeks, over spring break. We thoroughly enjoyed the mid 70 degree weather and wonderful SUNSHINE! Sometimes I forget what that is, during these winter months, in the Midwest.
