Our vaca!

Scott and I just returned from a FANTASTIC vacation.... all by ourselves! We went to Amelia Island, Florida. We had a great time just relaxing, sleeping in (10 AM wake-ups, how I've missed you), laying by the pool, going to the spa, enjoying leisurely dinners, reading books (I read 3!), and reconnecting.

It was hard to leave Sienna initially, but we knew she was in good hands here at home with our parents. (THANKS, parents!!!! We couldn't have gone without you guys here at home to watch our baby girl.) Once we were there, we definitely missed Sienna, but it was so great to just have a bunch of days to focus on each other.

Enjoy a few pics of our vaca....

Cheering on our Chiefs during Monday night football.

Dinner at 29 South, one of the quaint restaurants on the island. All the cuisine on the island has a unique fusion of southern cooking and seafood/Florida cuisine.

At the marina

We charted a fishing boat one day. Scott caught the first fish - a hammerhead shark!

Better pic of the shark. He also caught a larger black tip reef shark, but it bit off the line before we could get it in the boat.

Scott and I reeling in the big ones!

Here they are - bull red fish! They weighed about 40 - 50 lbs. each! It was fun to catch them! (And yes, I reeled that big thing in all by myself!)

I caught about 4 sting rays. This was the largest of them... a 25 lbs. lemon sting ray. I was scared to hold it this close to me!

Enjoying a few drinks after our fishing excursion at a bar that overlooks the beach.

A view of our hotel from our room. We loved the pool, pool-side bar, and beach. Amelia Island has one of the best beaches for shell hunting.
