Spring Break Round 1 - Clearwater Beach!!

Weekdays : 

  • Monday - Quick school and work week for us - I was at the office getting things prepared for our vacation and Clint cranked on things at home - thankfully no evening activities so we could rest!
  • Tuesday - Another day at the office for me followed by picking up the kids while Clint dialed into a zoom call for Maci's upcoming Girls on the Run activity!  Later in the evening I cleaned up email while getting a pedicure in prep for the sandals!
  • Wednesday - I worked from home and had a lot to do to ensure things were in good order.  Clint ran Maci to soccer practice while I finished our packing.  We all crashed with excitement of beaches!
  • Thursday - Happy 44th Birthday Clint!!  We woke up, sang to dad, threw our final items together and were off to the airport.  We enjoyed some breakfast and grabbed a few Starbucks before our 3 hour flight to Florida.  We landed and got a convertible for the week before heading for the Beach.  We enjoyed a little bit of pool time and got settled in our room before heading over to the Demko's condo (their spring break was wrapping when we arrived!). We went for a lovely dinner with them and then out for drinks afterward!  Part of the joy of them having older kids is that they could babysit ours at their condo while we went out!  What a fun night!!

Party Time
Friday : 
  • Day 2 - We enjoyed a day of pool, beach, pool, beach, etc.  The weather wasn't amazing but thankfully it cleared up shortly after breakfast!
  • We decided to meet up with Demko family for dinner as it was their last night before heading back to Ohio.
  • We had a blast at an outdoor restaurant that had a long wait but that was made easier by one of those yard games - the long string with the circle hook and then you try to swing it to get latched on the hook.  Well Connor is a ringer at this game and hit it 15 times - the text closest kid was 8 HA - Maci was sad as it took her a while to hit but once she did she was able to hit 5 times.  
  • The kids enjoyed fancy looking drinks and the adults enjoyed good conversation, weather and food.
  • We said our goodbyes and then headed back to our room to crash!

Dinner w. the Demko's
Saturday : 
  • Day 3 - Another wonderful day of pool, beach, pool, beach etc.  We had a yummy breakfast to start the day at a little joint right down the road.  Then we did our regular day plan.
  • The weather did turn around 330p when we were by the pool so we headed to our room and enjoyed some quiet time, naps etc.
  • For dinner we went to Hulk Hogan's place which had ok food but the kids loved looking around at the attire and watching a WWE event that came on the TV.  Mom & dad wanted to go there b/c we knew it would have the NCAA games on TV HA


Dinner
Sunday : 
  • Day 4 - What a pretty day!  We had another yummy brunch to kick off the day and had a lovely stroll to and from the restaurant.
  • Afterward, we purchased tickets for a pirate ship boat cruise.  We enjoyed some pool/beach/lunch before hoping on the boat.
  • Once on the boat, Clint and I enjoyed the free light beers that came with the tickets and the kids enjoyed the pop and pirate games - face painting, treasure hunt, dance party, musical chairs etc.  It was a 2 hour ride on a gorgeous day!!
  • We tried a seafood restaurant not too far from our hotel for dinner and got our souvenir shopping complete as well.  We also enjoyed some Ben & Jerry before heading back to the pier by hour hotel for an evening stroll on the beach.
