Derek and I flew in on Saturday, and after my parents picked us up from the airport, we met up with Robert, Stacey, Kate, and Preston for some lunch and grocery shopping. 7 grocery carts later (I'm still amazed we were able to fit it all in the cars...I was sure we were going to have to strap someone to the roof National Lampoon's Vacation-style to get it all in), we were off to the island. Captiva was even better than I expected. The house was beautiful, the beaches were even better, and the company was outstanding.
Our week was full of fishing, laying on the beach, building sandcastles, (attempting) to fly a kite, drinking beer and beach drinks, playing ping pong, swimming in the pool, playing gin rummy, eating good food, and hanging out with quite possibly the coolest niece and nephew in the world!
In lieu of typing everything down, I figured I would just use the next few posts to show pictures of what we did and where we were. Since, I tend to slack a bit on the whole picture taking thing, you can also check out Robert's blog here for more pics.

The whole reason we went to Captiva - Happy 60th Mom and Dad.

Love the picture of "Grandpa Bob" and Preston in their shades... COOOOOOOL!
