Thanksgiving to look forward to!




This year has been a bit of a struggle for the Voigt family. Life throws you curve balls every once in a while, and these are your opportunities to shine and excel.

In these times, it always helps to have something to look forward to! This year that materialized in the form of a family vacation. The whole family is planning on taking the week of Thanksgiving off for vacation and traveling to Fort Myers Beach. Grandma & Grandpa have a condo on the marina there, and it is only a short walk or drive to the beach. Lots of pools and a huge boardwalk to enjoy.

The girls are looking forward to taking the boogie boards to the beach, and getting ice cream at the fudge shop. They are also pumped about going to Disney for two days. Grandma & Grandpa went over the top and reserved two adjoining rooms at the Contemporary Resort. We will all have fun. I am glad that I have been training for a marathon, as I will need all that conditioning to keep up with the kids!

Lauren is already talking about Turkey dinner! Thanksgiving is a little weird in Florida. It is hot and humid, not Cold and snowing.

Turkey still tastes the same, only you get to take a nap on the chase lounge on the screened in porch with the palm trees waving in the breeze next to you.... MAN that sucks!
