Fathers Day

We did something a little different this year for Fathers Day. We normally make Steve breakfast in bed, hang around the house, figure out what Steve wants to do for the day- which is always the beach... and then have a nice dinner.

Not this year. Saturday night we got an invitation to go with our new friends from the UK to Cocoa Beach. Steve and I had never been before so he thought it would be a good time. Well- he was right... although it was a 2 1/2 hour drive to get there... it was worth it.

We got up, had breakfast- but not in bed and then followed our friend Ben down to the famous Ron Johns in Cocoa Beach. Oh- how I love that store... and could do some damage there.


We then went to a fun restaurant right on the beach called Coconuts. They had great food and drinks out of carved coconuts. Of course... we had to get the group all drinks out of coconuts- which the kids loved!!


At Coconuts.. they had their own table and loved it!

Right after lunch was beach time. We spent a little over 4 hours on the beach before Aydin came to us ready to eat dinner. It was then that we packed everything up.. stopped for our 'nice' Fathers Day dinner (Subway for us and McDonalds for Morgan) to eat on our drive home.


(Aydin was SO tired... he fell asleep while eating his sandwich)


Steve had a great time and was happy that we went- which then makes me happy that we went. I am so grateful to have a wonderful husband who is the best father to our children. He does so much for our family and we are so lucky to have him in our lives... Happy Fathers Day Steve. I am glad you enjoyed it!
