Naples 'O8

Greetings from Sunny Naples! We are having an awesome time...When we decided to come to Naples we got so many smirks and giggles and quotes like "why would you go there in the summer?" and "It's going to be so hot!" WELL... It is really hot, but we have an ocean and a pool to keep us cool so it is totally fine... to me it doesn't feel any different than Minnesota in August... AND, we have met so many people here that are on vacation! We met another family from Minnesota and several others from the midwest who come down often and say they prefer the summer. We've also met other Floridians and New Yorkers who "cabin" here... I was also expecting to have deserted beaches and roads and today the beach was PACKED with people and as I looked down either side of me I thought "AH, Spring Break '08" I was just waiting for the crew from MTV to ask Ben if he'd like to participate in some crazy reality skit when I remembered that it is July... The boys are adjusting well and although they are a little afraid of the ocean the pool is like second nature to them already! They are not fans of the "ODD" red seaweed that has floated in. The news here said that it is very rare and it's because they have had a lot of rain, but it should be gone by tomorrow... Sutton saw his first sunset on night #1 and kept asking "where the sun mommy"... It seems to set right around 8:30 which is really crazy being that we come from the North where the sun is up until well into the nines.. They miss Wrigley and seem to speak of her at meal time (Where Wrigley at, I dropped my pizza? ) We're so glad that both of my parents are taking care of our house and Wrigley for us!
Keep checking back, we'll post more pics later! Here's a few to tide you over...
