Okay due to a lost power cord for the laptop (how did it end up in the bottom of Tyler's bag???) I have been completely out of internet range for the past 10 days and completely unable to post! SO SORRY! Good news is we made it home safe and while I want to throughly write about the whole experience right NOW. I cannot because there is laundry to do and kids to get showered before back to school tomorrow. Believe me though I have so much to share. We have traveled over 3500 miles and spent roughly $1600 in gas. All worth it and all of it we would do again. In a nutshell it was awesome. Clint and I sitting here as we speak smiling about the memories made with our children and marveling (once again) at what unique individuals they are. We have spent 2 nights sleeping in parking lots (wow what a experience!) and have been to three campgrounds and stayed in a beautiful home in Naples.
We have expereinced the sunset on the road and on the beach...
I have been called a Yankee- thank you Nashville!
Have seen dolphins so close to us we could reach out and touch them...
And experienced the complete joy the boys experinced while deep sea fishing and actually snagging a baby hammerhead shark...
We have met princesses....5 of them! And talked to each of them about what kingdom we hail from and how much we liked our ride to Disney World in our "carriage".
All in a week!
So I have time to post just a couple favorite pics and will share more once things settle down. But we are happy to be back and are so excited to share all of the experinces we have had! And for Clint and I....well we are both a little teary eyed to know it went by so fast and as we pulled in he looked at me and with a wink said "start planning the next one Laura..." Okay honey.....DONE!

Looks like you all had a great trip. What a picture perfect Family! Freunder, you know you don't have to travel that far to go fishing, and I bet my guide fees are not as high. I bet you wouldn't have to spend $1600 in gas to get to Spirit Lake. Take care, Norm
