Captivated...





The summer after we got married Owen and I went with his family to Sanibel/Captiva Island. I had heard about this place forever from him and been DYING to go! Needless to say it was a fantastic trip and I knew that first time that I had to bring my parents and sister down there. It was a LONG drive...especially since all 6 of us were piled into our suburban towing a UHaul. We really did have a good time (I love car trips) and Mayzie did a great job! We stayed at a house on the bay side of the island which had a private pool. This was a HUGE plus since swimming was Mayzie's favorite part of the whole trip! We rented a boat two days out of the trip and went shelling at North Captiva (Sanibel and Captiva are wonderful for shelling) and then went fishing the next day. We caught a couple of trout, and when I say a couple I really do mean two...ha! Mayzie did great on the boat. Thanks to some good advice from our expert boating friends, Kayla and Justin, she played in her little laundry basket and loved watching the water! We also did some biking on Sanibel one day. Mom and Dad rented a tandem bike which was the cutest thing ever and Mayzie loved her little trailer! We visited all our favorite resturaunts, did a little shopping and a lot of relaxing! I can't wait to be back!
