Sarasota

On Monday morning we headed down to Sarasota for the day and spent the night.  Since we weren't able to spend the night at my Uncles due to other relatives in town my Uncle kindly paid for a hotel room for us.  He went all out and got us a really nice suite that included a jacuzzi tub.  Gabe was able to sneak away from work which was nice too.

After checking in at the hotel, we picked up chick-fil-a and then headed to the beach where Melissa and then Andrew met us.  It was beautiful out and the water was a gorgeous blue/green.




The water was chilly but Elias went in anyway

After the beach we headed back to the hotel to change and then headed over to my Uncle's house for dinner.  We played ping-pong, talked and sang happy birthday to Melissa.
