Spring break is in full swing and we have had a low key, relaxing day here on Hutchinson Island in South Florida. Our balcony looks right out at the ocean. The sun coming up over the Atlantic gave way to a perfect, steamy afternoon.

We alternated between playing in the ocean waves and swimming in the hotel pool. People watching is always entertaining! Erin looked older than 10 sunning herself poolside while listening to tunes and texting with friends. I guess she will be 11 next week...

Dan and I took turns exercising this a.m. and both noted that the solitude allows the mind to wander. That's ok. We need to acknowledge that this is different and we are starting anew. Shannon is missed. She always will be.

But we are relaxing and enjoying a new place. Today was a good day. Tonight we are headed out for some seafood. Not too shabby ...
