It has been a month since the last blog post of our happenings but we have been so busy all of July! First, Staci's parents were here in the beginning and then we have been non-stop since they showed up. We went to South Carolina, traveled cross-country in my (Brian's) new car to see how it would hold up, spent two weeks in Missouri to see friends and family, and finally made it back to Florida just in time to relax a little. Those who know us should be aware of our pictures that we take for our picture book or this blog. In the past month we have taken numerous pictures (1000's!!!!). We don't want to give them to you all at once, mainly because it would be a couple hundred pictures on the blogpost and it gets boring after 60. We decided to give a few of the things we have been doing in sections.
In the beginning of the month Staci's parents came down for a visit during 4th of July (which last three days here on the Space Coast) and to see us. The pictures that follow of our travels and experiences with them. A whole week worth of relatively free stuff at a free hotel on the beach (just saying). We were so full of things to do that we didn't even go to Orlando. There are so many trails, parks, and of course the beach to walk and explore. After the parental units had their fill of fun we took off for Missouri via South Carolina to see more of Staci's family. Good times and fun experiences of course.
Take a look at what we did:
