The beach!

8.5 hours later... we made it! Our hotel was right on the beach on an island called Fort Myers Beach! Our hotel room was on the ground floor, right across from the pool and the bar.

The sun was setting when we got all checked in and unpacked (they are 1 hour ahead of us). We threw on shorts and decided to go check out the beach before it got too dark. You should have seen Dylan's face! He was so excited! He started doing cartwheels! He insisted upon getting his feet wet as well. We got a few pics in before it got dark! We ate dinner at the restaraunt located at the hotel (we were tired of being in the truck).

We spent the day Monday at the beach and the pool! Dylan was loving it (as were we). The original plan was to head to Tampa and see Busch Gardens on Thursday and head back to Dan and Linda's on Friday. However, we were so in love with the beach we all decided we'd extend our stay here until Saturday morning. (Dylan actually chose the beach instead of an amusement park!)
