The warmth and sunshine in Florida were amazing, and just what we needed for our poor freezing Vermont bones. But the best part of our vacation was being with some of our favorite people. We would go to the north pole to be with these guys!
We got to Florida just in time to attend our friend Ivy's mission homecoming talk and meet her sweet family. The Ceballo-Barberenas bookended our trip, with church on our first day and dinner at a Dominican restaurant on our last.
Hanging out with Dave, Kara, and the kids was definitely the best part of our whole trip. Hawaii is just too far to drive. We are so glad they moved to Florida. (And, I'll say it, glad that Florida is not the north pole.)
