Sunrise to Sunset

One of Kaylee's summer bucket list items was watching the sunrise on the Atlantic Ocean and the sunset on the Gulf of Mexico. Aunt Bree and Aliyah are currently vacationing in Madeira Beach, so we decided to visit them for the day. 

Sunrise:

Mom, Kaylee, Kianna, Trace and I all got up early to watch the sunrise at Coral Cove Park. After enjoying it, we went out for breakfast at Berry Fresh Cafe. Once Trace realized we were driving three hours across the state, he decided to stay home with Dad. We dropped him off and headed west. 

Madeira Beach:

We had an awesome time with Bree and Aliyah. We got to meet Bree's boyfriend, Matt, and Aliyah's friend, Jensyn. Both were great! 

We spent the day walking the beach and chatting in the water. We swam out to the sand bar and found the mother load of sand dollars. The girls had never been out there before. They each took home a sand dollar as a souvenir. I also was able to show them the coquinas, which are tiny, little clams that kick their butts up in the air whenever a wave disturbs them. They are super fun to watch! We ate pizza on the beach for lunch and went to John's Pass and had ice cream for dessert. It was super fun sharing some of my fun childhood experiences with the girls.

Sunset:

We enjoyed the sunset and then headed back to Jupiter. It was a late night, but very worth it for all the new memories we gained.
