A much needed vacation


It was a rare opportunity for most of my family to go on vacation together. We spent a lot of time at the beach and pool. No Disney this time around, maybe when Edward is a bit older. We enjoyed seeing one of the last few space shuttles take off from Cocoa Beach.
There is something about these long Iowa winters that almost drive one crazy. Thank goodness for sunshine, warmth, and the ocean.

Edward is SO cute! I hope we get to see him in person again soon. Last time we saw him he was only a few months old!

That looks amazing! I'm sure it was wonderful to get away from the cold for a bit - there is nothing better than the beach.

Glad you had fun!

And then there's some of us who can only dream of an "Iowa winter." :) Love the ocean pix!

Why can I still not believe how many Rinehart girls there are?! You are all beautiful!
I've been wondering if you are back. That looks like such a memorable and wonderful trip together. Looking forward to seeing your tan. =)

How fun to have so much family on vacation all at once! To answer your FB question - we're over on the other side of the state, in-between Orlando and Tampa. The day the shuttle launched, it was clear enough that we were able to watch it from this side, too! Glad you guys had so much fun. You went to the GOOD ocean side!
