Vacation in Florida

We had a fun family trip to Florida a week and a half ago (lots going on, so I am behind on blogging.) The whole Shah crew got together for 4 days at the beautiful South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island near Fort Myers, FL. We stayed in side by side condos and enjoyed good food, long bike rides, walks on the beach and kite flying. Jaidan bonded with his cousins and even enjoyed a birthday dinner complete with cake and presents! It was so nice to break away from our everyday routine and spend time with family. We plan to make this an annual tradition - next years getaway spot - Cabo!
