We just returned from a nice trip to Florida, combining a family vacation to visit Ben’s grandmother and attending a friend’s wedding in St. Augustine. My parents and sister met us in FL, and we had a great time swimming and playing with Luke at the beach. My parents and sister, Michele, all had a much needed break from work life back in NC, relaxing and reminiscing about our visits to Flagler Beach as when Michele and I were children. Now we take Luke and watch his test the salt waves just like we did when were little.
Coincidentally, Ben also beached at Flagler when we was little, visiting his aunt Sue and her family in the summer. We missed Sue this trip since she was traveling out west, but she generously opened her home to us. Grandma Colgrove is just across the street, so it was great getting up to go over for breakfast and then coming back to watch Luke swim at Sue’s pool. Ben’s grandmother is wonderful with Luke and always makes you so glad you we able to visit. She’s a model of healthy and graceful aging. Her bright spirit and joy make her a delight.
The garden wedding in St. Augustine was amazing. Such a beautiful location, good weather, and the most fun reception I’ve ever attended. My friend Amy was a gorgeous and gracious bride, and Ben and I were proud to be there to witness her vows and finally meet her husband Carl. We wish them all the best and know they have a wonderful life ahead. 
Luke is a little water rat, so most of the time he was in either the pool or at the beach. He dried out long enough for everyone to go for a final family dinner on our last night. I guess he thinks he’s a big guy now from the way he ‘reads’ the paper. Wonder where he’s seen that pose before?
