Up at 7AM and to bed by 11PM. As I write this post, the kids are sleeping soundly. The grace of God was all over them today. They never stopped from early to late and their attitudes were incredible. I was so thankful at how God worked in their little hearts today. It could have [...]

Today was off to Downtown Disney. It was a full day for the kids. We finished it off with some monorail rides. The kids got their first glimpse of the castle. That has been the main point of discussion over the past few months. Surprisingly, Tristen said, “It’s pink! I thought it was white.” She [...]
Today was packing and travel day. We packed the van and made our way northeast for the two hour trip to Walt Disney World. The kids maxed out St. Pete Beach and were ready to go. It seemed perfect. They were not “pre-thinking” Disney, while missing out on St. Pete. They fully enjoyed St. Pete [...]
Today was our last day at the beach according to our vacation plans. It was also noticeable in that Tristen was not asking to go to the beach today. That is quite remarkable! Tristen loves the beach as much as any place in the world. She was born to be in the water. She is [...]
We paid for a four-day stay, with us leaving on Friday AM. We figured if we didn’t like the accommodations or if the kids had enough or if the weather was stormy or if we wanted to do something else or if we wanted to go to Disney two days earlier and just hang in [...]

Emily is staying in the bungalow in the same house as us. There are three “apartments” that this house has been converted to. Emily went to DeSoto [...]
Today started out great. I slept late. Lucia and the kids went to the beach. I got up and ran 3.5 miles, from where we are staying to the Don Ce Sar, which is a major hotel in the area. It was built circa 1910 and was a hubbub of activity during the roaring twenties. [...]
I have never cared much for the beach. It is hot, sweaty, sandy, windy, and generally irritating. I go to the beach because I am head over heels in love with my wife and I find few pleasures better than serving her. She loves the beach!! This does not even get into the issue of [...]
Of all the beaches, in all the towns, in all the world…
Posted: August 31, 2010 by RickThomasNet in Vacation '10…there is nobody at this one! Amazing. Day two of our vacation we awoke early and headed out to the beach. We’re in the Gulf of Mexico, in St. Petersburg, FL and there is hardly a soul to be seen. Amazing. The beaches are clear, the water is clear, and it’s all our own. We [...]
