The Red Coconut | Fort Myers, Florida

Welcome to “Old Florida” as everyone kept putting it! As soon as we arrived at The Red Coconut we immediately took off to the beach! The powdery white sandy beach with palm trees right on it! Yes! This is my favorite kinda view! I’m so used to seeing beaches with sand dunes and sea grass that I get super excited when I see palm trees on the beach. When I was little I used to draw beaches with coconut trees on them all the time! This was my go to thing to draw. At that time in my life I had not been to the beach. I actually didn’t go to the beach for the first time until I was 15 years old and that was to Cumberland Island, Ga. 

While in the water we found the biggest, live, conch shells we’ve ever seen in nature and sand dollars, too. The kids were able to find lots of beautiful empty shells that are now decor in our camper. 

I didn’t take many photographs or videos during our stay in Fr. Myers but I did manage to spend lots of time in my Tommy Bahama beach chair with the water touching my toes. It was a very relaxing place!

We have been to tons of beaches during our exploration of Florida and this was the first beach that allowed dogs! Hazel got to experience the sand and the ocean! She wouldn’t go in the water at all but loved bird watching!

Can’t wait until the next exploration!!

Happy Father's Day!!!

Happy Father’s Day Mr. Robbins!

This morning I woke up early to make him his fave breakfast - corned beef hash! We were still at the beach in Ft. Myers, Fl but it’s a travel day for us. I was so upset when I realized I booked our trip this way. I didn’t want him to have to travel which includes, packing up our home and then driving to our next stop. But, he didn’t mind because that’s how awesome he is!

While breakfast was on the griddle finishing up the kids set up their gifts they all got him on our picnic table and had him come out to see them all! As he read their cards, I could see him tearing up. Oh, I love this man so much and I really love the way he loves our babies!!

Each of our babies put so much thought and creative efforts into their daddy’s gifts. Olivia and RyAnne were SO excited to give their daddy his gifts. Rocco was too but he is still young and doesn’t quite understand yet. But, our girls, they get it, and were so stoked! I loved their excitement to celebrate him and make him the perfect gifts. Makes my heart so happy!!

Trey, you are the absolute best daddy there is! God blessed us with you and we get to experience your loving heart everyday! I love how silly you are with our babes! I think you totally shock them with how funny you are - we all love this about you!! Thank you for going on this insane parenting-journey with me! I love you so much and even though we are traveling, I sure hope today was a special day for you!!
