We picked up our rental car and headed west to Captiva. We stopped and bought groceries off the island because we were advised that it would be much cheaper. Loaded up the mini van (yes we actually drove a mini van) and proceeded to our destination.
We check in and then drove to our house. Our house had three different levels. We opened the door and the kids ran every which a way. It was so fun to check out the super spacious house. The kids were claiming their bedrooms as they discovered them.
The week was filled with lots of beach time, swimming and sunshine, some shelling on an uninhabited island, good eats and seafood. It was a relaxed time and just what we all needed.
We reluctantly boarded the plane for home. The week went entirely too quick.
I have a funny story to tell. They left us a 6 seater golf cart to get around the island on. It was so fun tooling around on that thing. Anyway, the first day we all piled into the cart and drove it to the little general store to get a few things we forgot. I ran into the store and came back out to the parking lot. There was an almost constant beeping noise. I got to the cart and Dan was looking quite embarrassed because the beeping was coming from our golf cart. I got back in and we decided to head back to the house as fast as we could go. We avoided eye contact with others because whatever Dan did, the beeping wouldn't stop.
We parked the golf cart in the garage and turned off the key. Dan looked at it and tried to find the source of the problem. A bit later, Dan laughingly told me that the horn button was on the floorboard and without knowing it, his foot had been on the horn the whole time! We had a good laugh over that.
We are so thankful to the Dream Foundation for this wonderful vacation. It was just amazing how God put it all together and at just the right time.
