My mom has a house on Venice Beach in Florida so when we want a relaxing weekend away from it all, we go and visit. She loves to cook and she cooks up a storm, making all of our favorite dishes, including lemon meringue pie (which we found out that Elani likes just as much as I do). So we eat, relax, stroll on the beach and relax some more while there.
Elani found a new best friend when we arrived on Friday, a baby turtle. Elani and mom made it a little bed in a shoe box, Elani fed it grass and they covered it up for the night time to keep in warm. Elani checked on the little turtle every day and would get it out to soak up some sun. Saturday afternoon the turtle decided to find its way back home. Elani was sad for a little while.
We visited a playground park nearby on the intercoastal and watched the sunset from the South Jetty. Elani quickly made friends with fishermen when they caught a fish!
Even though the air and water temperatures were not warm enough to be at the beach and in the water for a long time, we did make a visit before having dinner on Sunday at Sharkey's.
We dropped a tired Elani off at home on Sunday after a fun-filled, relaxing weekend with Great-Grandma and Grandpa Higel.
