OUR SUMMER VACATION TO TENNESSEE AND FLORIDA!!! June 2012














The family with Madison before graduation.  She had to take pictures before because they turn in their gowns after the ceremony.  Stephen had to work and started a summer class, so he stayed home and took care of Kassy. Mom and Dad were there too.

The whole group at the ceremony

Madison graduated in the top 20, she was number 7 in her class.  She graduated with honors. WAY TO GO MADY!!! :)

Madison works at a cupcake shop and these were from her work.  They were yummy!! :)





We then left the hotel Sunday morning and drove down to Santa Rosa Beach where we all rented a house right on the ocean.  It was so nice.  



Here is standing by the front door looking across the street.  Chris's sister Jen and her family stayed across from us in those apartment/hotel type rooms.  They had shops on the bottom.   A bike path was right in front of the house, so Todd and Nicholas rented 2 bikes for a day....we do again, we would rent them for several days and get them when we arrive.  Nic loved that. 

Front door.  The house was set up a little different but it was nice. 



Side of the house looking out to the ocean. 
 

This was the back screened in porch we sat out in I think everyday.  We were up at 530 almost every morning to see the dolphins swim by...so neat!! Then the evenings it would cool off, we would sit out and enjoy the sea breeze.

BEACH WALK!! :)


 This was the wedding that had just taken place when we were out walking the beach.  We all wanted to go crash it, but Cheryl felt we should turn around, so we did!! :)  HA!!



THE GROUP!!  We took this on our last night.   We had a ton of fun and the memories we made are ones we will remember forever.  :)
