Daddy and Gabi Visit Florida

On New Year's Day, Daddy continued his efforts to bring children for intimate visits to Florida with Grandma and Grandpa, and it was Gabi's turn!

They landed around midnight in Florida, and they were still met with hugs and presents.

Routines and rules didn't matter.

9:00 in the morning

well after 9:00 at night

On Day 2, Grandma, Daddy, and Gabi drove to Lion Country Safari and started their adventure with the drive-through wildlife park.








After the drive-through tour, Daddy and Gabi went paddle boating.

Lion Country Safari proved to be a great adventure park!

Grandma treated Gabi to ladies' mani-pedi's.

That evening, they enjoyed dinner with Cousins Rebecca, Joe, Grayson, and Berkley. AND they got to celebrate an early birthday for an almost 12-year-old.


Late at night, Gabi and Daddy went to the Fox Observatory where they were offering a free community night on the fancy shmancy telescopes.

Gabi was excited and ready for their beach day on their last full day in Florida.



They spent their last evening together with Cousins Rachel, Ben, Lila, Jordan, and Mason who had just recently moved to South Florida.



After several lovely days with Grandma and Grandpa in the Sunshine State, it was time to return home.
